Top 40% at a school ranked in the 60's
Looking to transfer to:
Kentucky
Florida State
Georgia State
Tennessee
Houston
Florida
Just wondering what anyone thought my chances were, if there was a chance at all, and which ones I would have the best shot of getting into. Thanks for your help.

Re: What are my chances?
Is it just for personal reasons (i.e. location)? Seems like all these would be peer schools to where you are now.
FWIW, I don't have a great idea of your chances at transferring, but I know that Tennessee accepts very few transfers.

Re: What are my chances?
I am working in the South this summer and I realize that is where I want to end up. In the markets served by those schools or ones close to it. I am working that into my personal statement on each application.

Re: What are my chances?
The guy bumped his thread once; I fail to see why he would need to "chill". Moreover, your comment was not only completely unproductive, but unnecessarily insulting. The guy is asking advice, and he made a threat to try to get help. I don't really understand why you felt the need to wander in without anything substantive to say, only to try to be some forum police regarding bumps.

Re: What are my chances?
while he bumped his thread once, the thread was the third highest on top of the message board.
Further, I answered his question. I am the only one on the thread to have taken a stab at it.

Re: What are my chances?
I don't have any great insight, but I know some T2 schools (like Temple) explicitly state that they only consider transfers who were in the top 20% of their class. While not all schools explicitly state this, I wouldn't be shocked to find that other schools have a similar policy.

Re: What are my chances?
and sorry if i did come off as a dick, i meant that no one on these boards (or really yahoo transferapps) tries to transfer into these schools. certainly the schools do receive transfer applications, and matriculate some transfers.
