Should I Transfer

[uconn23]

Hello all,

New to this site. I am about to finish up my second year part-time at UConn. I finished last year at about 17%in the part time division, and my grades improved this year so I am thinking I'll be around top 10-15%, maybe even higher after this year. Should I consider transferring? I'm not sure I want to work in CT and that would probably be my only option graduating from here. I am pretty much open to any region except the South. Do you think I would have a shot at any of the top 25 schools? I was thinking BC, BU, Chicago, NW, USC, UCLA, Notre Dame, GW just to name a few. All of these schools take part time transfers, but I would have to finish 2 years full time at these schools. What do you think? I plan on sending applications out to keep my options open, but I don't want to spend $1,000 on transfer applications if it is not worth it. What schools do you think are the best to look into.  Oh ya, I spoke with someone at GU and I guess they do not take transfers after 2 years of part time school.

I don't think you will be able to crack any school in the top-14, USC, or UCLA. You may have a shot at Notre Dame, GW, BC, or BU, especially if you are closer to top 10% than top 15%. I do think it would be worth it to transfer to one of the previous schools if you do not think you want to stay in CT.

Actually, based on experiences from some of my former 1L classmates at a T4 school - Ain't got nothing to lose except possibly the application fee.

You may also consider transferring into a full time program. There are part time students who transfer into full time programs at other schools. Only 30 credits max will transfer.
