@jamesbond1 I’m also transferring from a “top school” (Wash U…if you can call it top). I approached the transfer process with the mindset that it was the same no matter where you go to school. Asking “what it’s like,” especially in terms of such trivial things as approaching professors, is really something you don’t need to worry about. The best way to go about doing something is to do it. As far as getting transcripts goes, every school will have an easy way to get those. You should really be checking out schools’ websites and your own college to answer your questions. The easiest way to gauge how well you stand out in the applicant pool is to figure out how well stand out at your own college, not just in terms of high school stuff, but in terms of what you’ve accomplished during your 1st/2nd years at college.
