No, it doesn't hurt that you were denied there before, but I'm not all that knowledgable about transfers outside of t14. You should be top 10% though, maybe top 5%, so a good chance. Also consider other midwestern schools (ND? IUB?)

GULC gave you a scholarship? That is the first I have heard. You have enough of a shot to make apps worth it at CNB, but its tough from TTT schools. I would strongly consider GULC with that money if you have any interest in living/working in DC.

Probably not super competitive at CN, but should get something else, either Mich or Cornell. Have you considered GULC? Don't go to Fordham - they have a negative transfer OCI policy.

Probably not at HS, but maybe at Chi and Berkley. It's definitely worth the app fee for all you listed though.

Thanks. Yeah, thought so, but it helps for someone else to confirm. I didn't fall low enough for GW to revoke, so I'm good.

Thanks. I will just save the $300 or whatever and stay at GULC. Thanks for helping me make up my mind.

Wait -- terminology is important here. Is the $28K really a transfer "scholarship" from GULC, or is it need-based aid? If the latter, you will probably get a similar amount of money from any T-14 (and likely even more as you move up the rankings).

Oh sorry, I didn't address that before. It's need-based aid. I have never gotten need-based aid in my life, so I don't know why GULC gave it to me.

In that case, the money from GULC really shouldn't be a factor because you'll likely get a similar offer from any T-14. As a rule, higher-ranked schools are much more generous with need-based aid. Many transfers end up getting need grants from their new schools even though they were well above the cutoff at their old schools.

With those numbers, I think you get UVA even without residency. But if I were you, I'd do Berkeley as a "safety" instead of UVA (unless you have a huge reason to be in VA, it seems like UVA/Vandy have a pretty big crossover in terms of firms, and there is no reason to transfer).

That said I think you have more than a 50% chance at H and I'm optimistic that you can get S .

Parental income will likely be attributed to you even if you are married and financially independent. I know - it sucks. I'm in the same situation. I don't know the cutoffs for other schools, but at HLS for example you need to be 29 or 30 before they stop looking at parental finances.

I'd think you'd need to be closer to top 20%. And I'd say maybe 10% chance at Yale.

You can probably make a lateral transfer or transfer down if you really hate NYC or something, but I don't think those numbers are good enough for a transfer up.

I'd say 60-70% chance at GULC, 50% chance at Cornell and 35-40% chance at Michigan.

Thanks. Do you think I have any chance at the NYC schools or is my ranking just too low?

I have heard that GULC is huge and kind of impersonal, plus hugely competitive to be with such a large class.

I'd like to be back on east coast. What about Penn? How is Michigan for transfers/getting back to NYC? And finally, any other schools I should be looking at? Thanks.

Top 15 % (3.2 GPA) at TTTT in FL (30/230). Chances at UMiami and U of F?

UVA would actually be cheaper than vandy, unless they majorly increased my scholarship. weird GI bill quirk.

don't think berk is worth the increase in price for me since i don't need to be in SF that badly.

thanks, though good to hear that i have a good shot at H, at least.

Top 5%/ 3.72GPA at regional TTT. WE + Certified Public Accounting license. Chances at Fordham or NYU?

Top 4% at GULC. Only really interested in H/Y (missed Stanford deadline and want to stay East anyway). Two CALIs and will get recs from both of those profs (major doctrinal courses). No results from write on b/c GULC results don't come in until late August. Any bets?

I'd say a very strong chance at H, but Y, while still possible, seems fairly unlikely

Good chance at fordham, likely out at NYU

Too low for Columbia/NYU/Penn. I mean, you can throw applications, but I'd say 25% shot at each. Michigan is fine for getting back to NYC, but like I said, you're borderline there too. You can give Northwestern a try, but you're probably not going to be able to crack the east coast schools.

For reference: most people who got CLS/Penn/NYU last year from T2 schools either had GPA's in the 3.9 range, were in the top 1-3% of the class, or both. People in the top 3-5% got Michigan/Northwestern/GULC. People in the top 10% got GULC. There are a few outliers here and there, but that's how it mostly went. Check out the transfer thread last year and look at the stats of people that got into CLS/NYU/Penn.

Give GULC/Cornell a shot if you want a T14, though I'd still say only a 50% shot at each. I don't think top 5% from a TTT is even close to high enough for NYU.

You could try Fordham, and see if they'll let you go PT and do OCI next year to avoid their "transfers can't do OCI" problem (since you're a CPA and have WE, you have an excuse to want to work). I dunno if that would actually work, though.

Another suggestion for you is BU/BC. There are a few transfers around here who went to those schools and they all seem to like it.
