What's going on with HLS's Transfer Stats? Forum

[bl1nds1ght]

lol why would anyone at a T14 voluntarily put the irredeemable stench of transferring on themselves

I'm curious why this was said. Obviously there could be (and probably is) some truth to it, but I also am not good with text-based humor, just in case it's a joke.

he's just kidding (mostly)

lol, thanks. I figured as much.

I have heard of people having a lot of success with threatening to transfer and getting money from original school though

this seems like a solid plan

hard to resist the prestige once you get in though

I believe in myself

Look at the spreadsheet in the transfers forum. You'll notice that the institution is, as you so aptly pointed out, a "critical factor." It is much harder to transfer into Harvard from Hastings than it is from UCLA.

I'm not denying that it's harder. My curiosity is that its possible at all. Plus, there is weird stuff even in that regard. 2 from AU but only 1 from Penn?????

Why is this at all surprising

Penn kid is probably a sucker unless he was paying sticker to live in philly in the first place

Can Cornell transfers attend OCI?

Can Cornell transfers attend OCI?

They can now apparently if you're accepted quick enough.

this is always how it was, but they rarely accepted people that early to really sign up for it. in the past, transfers could go to OCI and sign up for open slots + hospitality suites. problem is that their oci is so early (aug ~6) and the schedules are made ~two weeks before that.

You're also only looking at absolute values, keep in mind Penn is a fairly tiny school.
