Every school even the ivies lose a certain % of students after the first year. To fill the gap, transfer students are enrolled. The transfer admissions process focuses less on SAT’s and more on actual college performance-grades. Throw in some on campus participation/involvement and she will be well positioned for a slot as a transfer.””</p>
<p>Yes! D1 (HS class of 2007) got denied at Elon, (HS GPA of 3.0, SAT 1050 M+CR) went to Univ. of Tampa for a year, got a 3.7 GPA there, applied to Elon as a transfer and got accepted. She decided not to go to Elon however, is now attending Univ. of South Carolina, marketing major-retailing minor, and still has a 3.7 GPA and loves it there. She wanted a bigger school, Tampa and Elon were about the same size. I didn’t like the business school program at Elon, the one at Tampa was actually better. Macro and Micro Economics were two different courses at Tampa ,but combined into just one at Elon. That’s weak. There were other weak spots too.</p>
