Great information as always! What would you say to people who are going to an institution with the specific intent of transferring? My sense is that this is a very bad choice, but would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks Dean Z and Dustin!
Yes, it’s dangerous! You are betting that you will knock it out of the park in your first year or first semester. Maybe you will-but if you stumble even just a smidge and it means you can’t transfer, then it is terrible to be at a school where you don’t want to be. So you can enroll with the hope of transferring, but don’t enroll unless you’d be satisfied spending three years at a given school. -DZ
Hello dean z, a question and an idea for a future video: how does being an international student play into admissions? Especially with public schools who have to prioritize in-state students? and how does the financial aid look like if it exists in private vs public schools? Will being an international student reduce someone’s chances of both of these? I tried looking elsewhere but there are really limited resources addressing this as its quite niche.
Thank you for this, Dean Z! This is so helpful to know, just in case!

I'm looking at the Transfers on Michigan's most recent 509, How did Somebody transfer FROM the University of Michigan TO the University of Michigan?
PT to FT, or vice versa?
