[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, DC's good friend unhappy at a T10, and is applying to transfer to, it seems, every other T10.

Any examples of success with this strategy? Not my business but it seems like a huge suck of time and money, probably to get rejected everywhere but at best to get an acceptance to a very similar place where the kid would have to start again from scratch.[/quote]
Sounds like an endless prestige search. Kid is obviously at JHU or Chicago and trying to upgrade.[/quote]

Actually, that's not it. Some of the schools the kid is applying to are ranked lower than current school (but still in T10).

I think the kid is unhappy, and it's a case of 'grass is always greener' when in fact it's a case of the grass is pretty much the same but on the new lawn I'll have to weed and water the whole patch again when I just finished that work over here. . . .

Sad when kid is unhappy but it's frustrating to see him follow such an ineffective strategy to make things better.[/quote]
Are you saying kid is not now at Chicago or JHU, or admitting that is the case? Kid probably has figured out that neither school is really considered a top 10. Not saying that is the only reason, but if kid is  unhappy, they would not only be applying to top 10s but to many other still prestigious schools - to ensure a transfer. Apparently, that is not happening…[/quote]
