Transferring from an Ex-poly to a Traditional Uni

I tried to but was rejected by some of the traditional universities on my UCAS application (UCL being the main one that I tried to transfer to from Chichester Uni; granted it's not an ex-poly (ex institute of higher education) but wanted to share my experience)

Well, that's quite a jump as UCL is very highly ranked, but if you don't try...

What do you mean about it being the main one? The one you most wanted to go to? How were your grades?

You can probably rule out LSE: link
It's technically possible, but extremely unlikely, and even then you'd lose a year because they wouldn't allow you to transfer into the final year of the course.

Indeed. My grades were good but I left it too late to prepare an effective UCAS application.

Its possible depending on the uni. I transferred from an ex-poly to a redbrick.

Think transferring comes down to your grades for A-level and first year; whether they've got any places and the reason for transferring.

I'd imagine unis have got wind VERY quickly of anyone changing or should be 'upgrading' for prestige reasons...

if i stay at glasgow i will do 4 years, if it is possible to transfer to lse and start from second year i will again do 4 year in total with including years in glasgow. id rather get a degree from lse then glasgow.
