There are lots of reasons why you might want to transfer schools. Maybe you got into a school that was not high on your list. Maybe you got into a school you really wanted to go to, but you didn't like the experience. There are times when circumstances change - you want to move closer to family, or you don't like the weather where you study.

In this episode, Thomas will talk about how transferring works, what to consider when you've made the decision to transfer, what to look for in each school's requirements, and more. Thomas discusses what to avoid when applying to a new school, what admissions at your new school will look for when considering you, and how to prepare for transferring.
