possible transfer student

Jul 04, 2006 15:05

I'm looking into transferring to Stanford for fall 2007. I'm currently at a top tier, though not ivy league, school and even though my grades are on the whole excellent, I really hate it and desperately want out, and I've fallen in love with Stanford.

Greetings Competition,

I too will be attempting to transfer in Fall '07. Academics aside (still suggesting that you're way up there), you're essay and your individuality is all they care about. The steep decline in transfer acceptance over the years is horrific. From around 12% in the 90's to the current 4.5% we face today.

Unfortunately I've no clue to your questions about residency or the max number of credits, the answers I've always found to any questions is there are no set requirements for anything, although ..well you know damn well as I do that isn't the case. Your focus in film gives you an edge, they want to see a continuous interest or passion in some form or another.

I grew up in Thailand and want to go back after I finish schooling to do some NGO work, maybe I'll see you around SEA on day.

Until then, I wish you the best of luck, I'm sure you're a worthy opponent. Okay I lied *pushes you*. Hahaha, no really, good luck.

ahaha... I WILL CRUSH YOU

:) in all seriousness, thanks for your advice and best of luck to you too. if the acceptance rate continues to decrease i think we will both need it! in any case, although it's still about a year off, if you can remember, please keep me posted on whether or not you get accepted: margot at dsl dot ca. again, good luck!

I too applied as a transfer student... and to my horror I found out that only 20 of over 1400 were admitted. I was waitlisted and am desperately trying to get myself in... how did it go for you guys?
