<p>I can’t answer all of your questions - but the answer to your basic question (would it be possible to transfer to Yale) is yes. I have a friend at Yale who transferred from Oxford - I believe after her second year there. Though she could have entered Yale as a Junior (3rd year), she chose to enter as a sophomore (2nd year), which, though it isn’t possible for American transfer students to do, seems to be possible for Brits. You’ll want to do very well at York to be able to have a chance transfer, but Yale definitely does accept transfers from British universities. Just remember that the transfer admission rate is very low, and thus there are no guarantees, no matter how well you do at York.</p>
