College Transfer Application

When can we start college transfer application?

You can start such process in time between ur mid semester and end semester time so that u will get enough time to rethink it and complete the all sort of formalities.But do look at the risks of such transfer. Coz in some colleges they don't provide u with the result of first year so u can persue ur second or any year in other colleges

How long do transfer applications to other colleges take?

User has basically summed up the process for completing the application- definitely worth reading that answer.If you're wondering how long it takes to receive your decision, 3 weeks is typical, though obviously it depends on the institution.Once you complete the application to the school, in order for it to be reviewed we will typically need the official transcripts for any and all institutions you've attended (for example, if you went to a community college and then transferred to a state school and are now looking to apply to a private school, the private school will need official copies from the community college and the state school), any letters of recommendation that are required (usually one is enough), and some sort of personal statement (as Farid said, usually about 500 words). The review process most often won't begin until the school you're applying into has all of these documents.Assuming you are accepted, most schools will give you a transfer credit evaluation, showing you how many courses transferred in and what their equivalencies were. This can take some time for the counselor reviewing your application to put together.To speed up the process, find out if the school you're applying to will accept documents electronically (most do nowadays), and some can review an unofficial transcript to make their decision while they wait for your official copy to arrive.Hope this helps, and best of luck to you!

What do I do after submitting my college transfer application?

Anything you do between the time you submitted your application and the time they review it/send out a decision may be able to help. Obviously, I do not know your exact situation; but I would focus on extracurriculars. If you accomplish some great challenge, win an important award, or host a meaningful event, you may want to contact (email) the admissions office and say you have some important supplemental material that would improve your application. They usually will accept things like this. However, make sure it is really something noteworthy; don't waste their time. Otherwise, just wait.Good Luck

What are the most important aspects of a college transfer application?

The high percentage of people who I know who have done this:Goofed off in high school and could not get into their own state's public four year college.When they saw the THOUSANDS of extra dollars it cost them to attend a public college in a neighboring state, they scared themselves straight.They worked Hard and the good student that they are came out and they made the Dean's list at that neighboring state college.Then as a sophomore they transferred into their own state's public college and saved a Huge amount of money.   That was aided by the fact that almost 15% of the freshmen drop out of public state colleges, no matter how good the college is.  Therefore, there are plenty of openings for transfers.  However, a transfer very often has to live in Off-Campus private housing due to the fact that the dorms are already over-subscribed.  As for private elite colleges:   They have very few openings (a couple of a percent at most) and the standards are tougher for a transfer than for a freshman.    They are looking for Unique stories for admission as a transfer.   I assisted MIT for a couple of years interviewing transfer applicants and they had very unique stories.   Life changing events, or out of the country living with missionaries when they applied to college as freshmen, etc etc etc.    The kid who does not get admitted to an elite private college as a freshman has almost No chance of getting admitted as a transfer student.Of course, anyone who is a Freshman at an elite private college but grows disillusioned with the place, has No problem transferring to a public state college or a second tier private college.   I know a few who have done so.My first term freshman room mate at MIT did that.   He then graduated as valedictorian from that small upstate NY private college and went on to a great career.  Going from Elite Private to anywhere else is fairly easy.The other direction is almost impossible.I hope this sheds a little light on the subject.

I recently filed a transfer application to a college I was deferred by in HS. Should I file a lawsuit right now or wait until the transfer decision? I'm disabled with low socio-economic background and I know there was bias in my high school decision.

“You know” but could you prove it in a court of law? One instance is not going to show a pattern that could be actionable. Why would you want to sue them if you want to go there? There could easily have been enough of an issue with your high school records to justify a deferral. Proving that you can do it in another educational institution is enough to allow your admittance on transfer.In order to sue, you are going to have to show damages. If you have been granted entrance into a school and are on the way to graduate, it is hard to show damages.
