Your best bet is UCLA and USC, if you're going to transfer. I don't think you have the stats to get into GW and GULC.

Re: Top 1/4 Loyola
What are you basing that on? Because Georgetown and GW accept considerably more transfers than USC and UCLA

Re: Top 1/4 Loyola
Basing it on the fact that you're only top 25% in your class. Yeah, GULC and GW accept a lot of transfers, but the vast majority of those are top 15% or better.ashawnt wrote:What are you basing that on? Because Georgetown and GW accept considerably more transfers than USC and UCLA

Re: Top 1/4 Loyola
If you're talking about applying to schools you have no intention of going to in an attempt to convince other schools to give you a scholarship as a transfer, I don't think there are any schools out there where the chance of this working is worth the cost of applying.ashawnt wrote:Ok.

Re: Top 1/4 Loyola
I'm essentially just parroting what I've read and have no personal basis for this, but it seems to be pretty common knowledge that nobody gives scholarship money for transfers. You don't help their rank = they would like to have you but would rather pay for someone who will help them in the rankings.ashawnt wrote:Ok.

Re: Top 1/4 Loyola
OP meant where to apply so that they can get an acceptance and be able to use it as leverage to get more scholarship money from their current school.isuperserial wrote:I'm essentially just parroting what I've read and have no personal basis for this, but it seems to be pretty common knowledge that nobody gives scholarship money for transfers.

Re: Top 1/4 Loyola
This seems correct from my experience. Top 15-20% people at Pepperdine ended getting UCLA/USC and not GULC. So top 25% could be close but possible. Not sure on GW though.CounselorNebby wrote:Your best bet is UCLA and USC, if you're going to transfer. I don't think you have the stats to get into GW and GULC.
