By the way, I think it might be worth calibrating a bit what counts as relatively good for transferring.
Per their latest CDS, Harvard got 2256 transfer applicants, and admitted 16, a rate of 0.7%. So that’s not promising.
Northwestern got 4045 applicants, and admitted 484. That’s right about 12%, so that is definitely better.
Still, though, 3561 applicants, about 88%, were rejected. And these are not just random college students, these are mostly going to be students who have done very well so far at good colleges, and thought they had a shot.
So I don’t mean to be discouraging, but generally speaking these types of transfers are all long shots.
And of course if you really want to transfer to a smaller private college in a larger city, presumably with good business-type stuff, there are other options. Villanova, for example, admitted 239/552, about 43%. Fordham admitted 895/1122 transfer applicants, about 80%. And so on. These are general rates, not specific to their business schools (if that is what you would be looking at), but my point is they are options to try if you want them.
