[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transferring is not unusual. Offhand, I know 2 current freshman looking/applying to transfer for next year. There is no guarantee that they'll get into another school but its worth a shot if they want to try. And if they get accepted and things improve where they are now, they can decline. The difficulty may be figuring out where to apply and then going through the hassle of the whole essay application process again. But I would support my kid if they had a compelling reason. [/quote]

why are these kids looking to transfer?[/quote]
One is at a slac and they feel it is socially limiting. I think they would prefer a more urban/ less isolating location. I think the other is at a med size school that isnt very social. I also know 2 other kids who transferred this year - 1 from a t25 to an ivy and 1 kid from a west coast to an east coast school. Kid gew up on west coast, did a gap year before college, and i think the realized they wanted something different. I also know kids who do the cornell sophomore transfer option where they start freshman year elsewhere and then go to cornell sophomore year. Many examples and reasons...[/quote]
