<p>@randliz - you replied to an ancient thread from 2008 instead of starting your own! fooled me, now I answered the OP and you too. arrrg. Next time start new thread. I suppose you are using ‘search’ to find other threads of Simon’s Rock, there are not too many I’ve seen.</p>
<p>I think the academics are good, they certainly have good outcomes:
• Simon’s Rock ranks 13th among all US colleges/universities in percentage of alumni who complete their PhD
• In a survey of recent Simon’s Rock graduates, 78% continue on to graduate study</p>
<p>They show up #1 on where English PhD’s get their start.

<p>You are really going to have to apply to find out what award you might get. USC also has an early entry program where you attend as a freshman instead of your Sr year of HS so likely there are a few others.</p>
<p>@randliz Stanford takes very few transfers from anywhere so I’m sure the rate is low, like anywhere–I don’t know you will ever find actual numbers. It is likely easier to get in directly as a hs student and we know that isn’t easy. Transferring into selective schools that take very few transfers is hard. Transferring to selective schools that take more transfers, like Cornell, is easier. But Stanford does show up, along with a lot of other great colleges on their top 20 list of where AA transfers go, see page 2
