I read on Stanford's brochure that the only time they'll consider a transfer applicant is when he/she is married to a student/faculty/staff at Stanford and is currently enrolled in a med school. The following are my questions, please answer as much as you can and enlighten me!!
1. Do all med schools have this policy? Or do some schools never accept transfer students even though their spouses are students there?
2. How often do these transfers occur?
3. Let's say you meet the criteria(married and all). Is it easy/hard to transfer? I'm sure you'll need Dean's letter from your old school. What about grades? What if you are coming from a P/F school?
4. When is the best time to transfer? After 1st or 2nd year?
5. Is it easier to transfer from a high ranked to lower ranked school, or does it not matter what schools are involved?
Any other insightful thoughts on transfer issue would be most welcome!!
