Question about transfers

Post by CBlaw » Wed Feb 24, 2016 12:13 pm

If you were to be top 25%-top33% at a school ranked in the 90's about how high up would you realistically be able to transfer? I am looking to transfer to schools in the 70s and one in the 50's due to location reasons.

Really?? This is very surprising to hear. I feel like being top third wasnt that good. Hmm guess I will have to look into some other schools. Thanks!


If working in PA is my ultimate goal what order would you rank PA schools in excluding UPENN as I have no chance there. I want to work in either Pitt or philly

Go to ABA required disclosures above.

Look at Emory. Look at the schools people are transferring from. Florida Coastal, John Marshall ETC.

Look at the transfer G.P.A.

2.96 or something to a 3.3 or 3.4.

They need the money it seems.

I mean, if you can get in state if it was me I would go to Temple, being cheaper. All the other schools in PA are pretty pricey

Just me though.

From my understanding Temple is you best bet for Philly if UPenn is out.

What other options would you really have?

Penn State is extremely expensive in an area lacking internships. (Friend is from PA and explained the situation, he is in school now too)

Villanova he said is like 40,000+ grand and said something about a recent scandal a few years back of mis reporting numbers which hurt the rep.

Pitt isn't a bad choice, but expensive compared to instate Temple

Widener.....it's widener.

Not sure if I am missing any.

I mean I guess if you got instate at Rutgers...right by philly. Still would rather be at Temple, heard its in a really nice area/convenient.
