I've decided to start an application for a 2nd year transfer, but I'm having trouble deciding which universities to apply to.
Last year I started doing an Accounting and Finance course, but I ended up dropping out, and then I came back this year on an Economics course. However, I'm not very happy with the university I picked, having just decided to go back to where I was originally instead of really giving it some thought, so now I'm looking to transfer out in my second year.
That being said, I did pretty badly on my A-levels (B in econ, C in maths and D in physics) so I'm having a hard time thinking about what universities would actually take me on. I'm confident that I can get predicted First-Class Honours (and deliver on it) as well as writing a great personal statement, but most universities require 2nd year transfers to have achieved the original UCAS point count but only a 2:1 prediction, so I'm having a hard time thinking about what the highest university I can apply to could be.
Every time I've emailed the universities they just repeat what it says on their websites, so I'm not sure if I could squeeze my way into a university a tier above where I belong by performing exceptionally in my first year to make up for my poor A-levels.
Does anyone have any experience dealing with 2nd year transfer requirements, and if so, what were the outcomes?
