<p>Sure, I know that. One of my wife’s best friends in college transferred FROM Yale to Michigan because she hated what she saw as a culture of wealth and entitlement at Yale. Another mutual friend of ours transferred from Yale to Stanford because she was homesick and couldn’t get used to the weather in the Northeast.</p>
<p>I guess I just assumed that, if Yale was picking 20 transfers from a pile of 400-500 equally amazing applicants, the people who did not have adequate academic options elsewhere would represent more compelling cases than people who just wanted a change of scenery.</p>
