<p>I’m toying with the idea of transfering from a private university far from home back to my good old flagship public. For various reasons, it’s not really what I was hoping for, my grades aren’t where I’d like them (3.1 vs. a 3.9 UW in HS), and being far from home is becoming a drag (it takes about 12 hours to get home by plane-no direct flights).</p>
<p>So the question is, what are the top factors in a sophomore transfer? ECs and professor recs. can’t be too great from only a year at a college, so I’m not really sure what they’d be looking for. I don’t need fin. aid because I have some private scholarships, and public is a little cheaper than private. I have very stong HS stats such as GPA and SATs etc. </p>
<p>I’ve filled out a transfer application a couple of times but haven’t had the guts to send it in yet.</p>
