<p>and also offer financial aid (and/or are need-blind in their admissions policy).</p>
<p>What comes to mind?</p>
<p>Northwestern</p>
<p>Syracuse University & Cornell University</p>
<p>Washington University in St. Louis, Northwestern, Rice, Emory, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Georgetown, USC, Wake Forest, Tulane</p>
<p>Publics with Good FA: Virginia and UNC</p>
<p>Emory has its whole Oxford college thing I believe.</p>
<p>By far, the largest numbers of transfers are those coming into public universities. UC is in a special class due to its Cal State and CC systems and relationships. </p>
<p>The numbers below are a year old, but I suspect that the relationships have not changed that dramatically:</p>

<p>Transfer students are eligible for Federal financial aid, but most schools restrict merit aid to freshmen, and many restrict institutional grants to freshmen as well.</p>
<p>Tulane did offer a merit scholarship for transfer students, I got it a few years ago. They may have recently stopped doing this though, I think I heard they were canceling it</p>
<p>since when did psu and georgiatech become private?</p>
<p>ha, I was just about to ask the same thing. I think both PSU and GT are a good fit for the poster, but they definitely haven’t made the move to being private. Penn State may be private soon, though, as Joe Paterno is going to take over the university, do away with the title of president of the school, and simply declare himself the King.</p>
<p>Here’s another question about transferring: in most universities it says you need at least a year of college credit, but wouldn’t you have to apply before the years over?</p>
<p>rgmom: I’m reading up on Northwestern and it doesn’t look like they really offer financial aid to transfers, and it also sounds like they don’t have much on housing</p>
<p>Is it very difficult to get into a public university if I’m out of state, like University of Virginia?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s very difficult to get into UVA from OOS as a transfer, but that it’s just difficult (3.6-3.7 GPA for CAS). *For a school like UNC, state residency isn’t a factor in transfer admissions. Average transfer GPA into UNC is like a 3.5ish.</p>
<p>So, the short answer to your question is: Berkeley and UCLA.</p>
<p>ohio state</p>
<p>I didn’t get an answer so I’m just gonna repost this question: in most universities it says you need at least a year of college credit, but wouldn’t you have to apply before the years over?</p>
<p>You need a year of credit to attend, not apply. Just like you apply to college before you graduate high school.</p>
<p>The top publics (UCB, UCLA, UNC, Michigan, UVA)
Many of the non-Ivy privates ranked between 10-30 (Nortwestern, WashU, Emory, Georgetown, Rice, etc)</p>
<p>One more question: if my high school record is just decent, but assuming I do very well in college, would you recommend applying to transfer after one year of college, or should I wait for two years?</p>
