Top 7-9 to Top 2-4?

What stats/class rank/conditions do you all think are necessary/sufficient for such a move?

ThankS!

If you join the Transfer Apps group at Yahoo groups, they have a database of a few hundred transfers for each of the past three or four years.  Lots of information to mine there.

Hey mbw,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I've poured over transferapps already and it seems to be mostly geared towards Tier 1 or Tier 2 transfer applicants (not surprising as this is where the majority come from).  There are a few on there in analogous situtations to this, but not enough that I was comfortable making any kind of concrete assumptions.

Thanks,

As a transfer in your situation, I don't think there are any concrete assumptions to be made.  If you have a personal reason for needing to change schools, make that clear in your application.

I would assume you would need to be in the top 10% or so, just because almost all other 'viable' transfer applicants will be at the top of their class(es) as well. 

I'm sure being at MVPB will be a bump, but I'm pretty sure that being first in your class at a T30 will probably look better than just being 75th percentile at MVPB. 

Pure speculation though.
