Accepted! Just to chime in- For those who were saying that non-minority students with financial need don’t stand a chance of transferring in, my daughter just got accepted. She’s at an excellent small private school in the South (freshman) on a full merit ride. She loves the school but needed more challenge in her field. We will need financial aid and she is not from a minority background, transferring from a non-Ivy school. She is an outstanding writer- many national awards, 800 CR/800 WR/660 MA SAT, She knew it was a long shot but provided an outstanding essay/application and had some great recs from very supportive professors. Something worked and we’re grateful. Flying up to see it this week and gather all info possible before she makes the final commitment. So- it really can happen, against the odds.
