hi all, if I have ANY preference at all for housing as a sophomore transfer, what are the thoughts on west? I really want to meet people and be close to the gym. is there going to be other sophomores with me, or I am automatically put with freshman? I know housing is bad for transfers, I also like hojo or towers but I dont want a bunk!!
can someone share about transfer experience? i would be moving 3,000 miles away. i really want to attend law school and get good internships undergrad. is there a good pre law program or lsat prep? does anyone know if boston undergrads have a positive correlation to top 20 law schools? i know lsat and gpa is most important!! thank you
is there any history of miracle stories for those without a decision from vandy from this point on? feeling hopeless, I would be so happy with just a wl
be honest. i am at sdsu rn and i dont think it is academically challenging enough.. if i want to get into a t20 law school is tulane more respected in both prestige and academics? like is this a transfer that makes sense? can anyone share about being pre law at tulane and what it’s like, or if i have a shot with lsats to get into a top 20 law school? thank you!
i am dumb so i only applied to these 4 but would it be crazy to chose tulane over boston u?!
hi can someone share on the best options/ what the process is like for sophomore transfers? i am transferring from across the country and i really want to be integrated socially. another factor w/ a housing/dining plan is i am gluten free and usually like to make my food (maybe at a communal kitchen) but i know apartments are impossible for sophomores. where are most sophomores put? where would you all recommend? should i go random? thank you!
withdraw button STILL there for Vanderbilt 😞 no decision yet
hey everyone, looking for some advice!
i currently attend a CSU about 15 minutes from my home. while i live on campus, ive had a really rough year socially and thats caused me to commute home more than half the time. i lost almost all my relationships due to this, dropped my sorority, and while i was able to maintain a 3.94, i cant see myself commuting back here next year. i have really bad social anxiety and i know i would just hate commuting or seeing people thrive socially. additionally, I feel kind of stuck with my family and living here next year with my older sister (who is 21 and goes to cc) I feel like would have a really bad affect on my social growth and development. One of the things holding me back is that I rely so much on my mom and my sister, and my grandmother is at the end of her life and she recently moved to where I live. my sister has really bad depression and I feel like I need to be with her 24/7. additionally, my bestest friend lives here, and I have a good job at a restaurant. the biggest issue is the COST. It is $36,000 to live on campus here, and while I may be living with my parents next year, I'm certain I would get an apartment or live off campus my jr. or sr. year. We got a $6,000 dollar grant bringing it to 31k, but that is entirely in loans that I can't pay. Next year, tuition is about 6k but with fees and miscellaneous, it would probably be about 10 grand which is WORLDS better. I was just accepted to Boston University for Political Science this past friday, and I was shocked. One of the biggest shocks: I was awarded $90,000 dollars. That would make my cost of attendance INCLUDING housing only $8,000 dollars. Of course, there are additional fees like 5 or so flights back and forth, but I'm predicting that it would likely be under 12k for me to attend there. While this is the OBVIOUS decision when looking at the price to attend my current school with housing, I'm really scared. Because I've dealt with social issues and my reliance on just driving home on minor inconveniences, I'm terrified of moving as far east as possible. It is quite literally, the opposite of California. Another reason I feel like I should transfer is because I don't feel like I'll succeed at my current school. It's ranked #121, while Boston U is about #42nd. I want to go to Law School so badly-- and I feel like I'll do anything to get there. I kinda half assed this year, because, it was so easy for me to. Moving really far away might give me purpose. I also hear that Boston is so hard on people socially. How on earth will I make friends? I'm really at a standstill in my decision. I also got accepted to Tulane (33k a year) and am waiting on Vanderbilt and Notre Dame. But I'm worried if I only put one foot in the door, I won't find roommates or love where I'm going. Can someone share a little more about their experiences transferring far away, any financial advice, and from the perspective of wanting to be stupidly successful? Thank you so much!
After waiting for almost an hour I got through to the AO. I asked about the next wave as I have to put a deposit down for BU and I was told that they are still releasing decisions in "Rolling waves" but I'm pretty sure they are finalizing the last late applicants (the ones due on May 1st) as this next wave will be the last acceptances.
