<p>Hi all, I’m a senior who just got accepted to Emory.
Really happy to be accepted and will probably spend my 4 years there.
However, I have a older brother who works at a top investment banking firm in new york, and he might move to a different firm in palo alto.
If he does go through with this move, I’m thinking that I might apply to stanford as a transfer student.
I had a 32 on my ACTs, so with a good gpa at emory would I have a decent shot as a transfer applicant?
My extra curriculars in high school were pretty good - varsity basketball captain, freshman dorm prefect (i go to a boarding school) head tour guide, varsity tennis and baseball.</p>
<p>Transferring to Stanford is a very competitive process - in 2006 the acceptance rate was less than 2%. Therefore you really, really need to differentiate your application from everyone else’s and have a really compelling reason why you are leaving, why Stanford is better and how you would contribute to the Stanford community.</p>
