Wouldn't that mean paying a semester's worth of tuition at each school? That's a high price to pay just to increase your chances of having a good recruitment at one school or the other.

IMO, it's silly to transfer just because you had an unsuccessful recruitment. You went to college primarily to learn and to earn a bachelor's degree in your chosen field of study. If you join a GLO along the way, great, but if you don't get into one, or don't get into a "top tier" GLO, it's not the end of the world.

At most schools, you get a full or major refund if you don't matriculate. Even if you do attend briefly, you generally get most of it back.
