Transfer to Stanford??!!

<p>“I was wondering about the possibility of a transfer to Stanford??”</p>

<p>The “possibility” is quite low at about 1.9%. </p>

<p>Check out the transfer portion of Stanford’s website:
[Transfer</a> Requirements & Process : Stanford University](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/transfer/index.html]Transfer”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/transfer/index.html)</p>

<p>“Transfer admission is considerably more competitive than freshman admission. In recent years the admit rate for transfer students has ranged from one to four percent. Between twenty and fifty transfer student spaces are typically available each year, depending on our freshman to sophomore retention rate (usually 98%) and the number of admitted freshmen who accept our offer of admission.”</p>

<p>Typically, successful transfer students are admitted because they contribute something special that the institution is presently lacking. For instance, many of them have served in the military or have had unique experiences living and working in other countries. </p>

<p>Additionally, many of them have compelling reasons to transfer. Since you are in med school, why should Stanford offer you a space in its class?</p>
