Has anyone transferred between schools? What was the process like, and what does the admissions committee look for in transfers?

NOt all schools allow a transfer. The ones that do, have limited number of seats available for transfer. If you are seriously thinking about it. First find out, whether the school accepts transfers. Once you do that, find out when they accept applications for a transfer. Additionally, most schools only accept transfers after the second year. So you can do clinicals, but nothing else. And yea you will be conferred a degree from the school you transferred to, not the one you did first two years from. Best of luck.
