From the bottom of my heart, I do not mean any insult with this question. I am just curious. Why would one apply for a transfer and then not attend? I mean, didn’t you apply because you preferred the other school?

Don’t you understand how capricious college admissions are? Why don’t high school seniors only apply to one school? Obviously because many schools simultaneously posess the qualities the applicant is looking for. Plus, acceptance rates for transfers are usually lower than for freshmen, so one must apply broadly if he/she is looking at top schools.
