[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't they say it's extremely difficult to transfer from one T10 to another T10?  I thought they took most transfers from community colleges and veterans?  [/quote]

Most T20 prefer lateral transfers (ie. from other national research universities, T20s, top LACs), with the exception of HYPS.[/quote]

"A transfer from one T10 to another is extremely unlikely to succeed. They all have a 98 percent or so retention rate, so there aren't many spots available. And they typically prioritize students who didn't get a chance for to apply as freshman - could be bright community college students, could be military, could be a lot of things. But the last thing a T10 university needs is yet another standard smart kid that brings nothing new to the college."

Which one is true?[/quote]

Every single transfer I know/I've seen (~50) to T10/T20 came from another national research university or LAC (excluding HYPS). This is anecdotal, but I've also looked through LinkedIn and seen the same trends.

These were the schools that took many lateral transfers:

Columbia
Vanderbilt
UVA
Brown
Cornell
UChicago
