<p>I just posted something similar but my message was really long and probably boring which likely led people to not read it and respond to it.</p>
<p>Basically:</p>
<p>I was accepted into the university of washington as a freshman but chose another school.</p>
<p>I regret it, and strongly feel I should go to UW because of their programs.</p>
<p>I haven't started school yet at my current school.</p>
<p>Would it be a good idea to contact admissions now and see what I could do, or is that uncommon? Or should I just transfer out after a year? or after a semester?</p>
<p>Does anybody know anyone who also thought they made a mistake with their college choice and was able to fix it without transferring?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Please someone respond…</p>
<p>Contact the UW admissions staff. They may not allow you to come in this fall, but you WERE accepted. They’re at least going to tell you what you need to do to transfer in.</p>
<p>Definitely contact UW because only they can tell you accurate info. I’ve never heard of anyone switching colleges like this, so I think you’ll probably have to transfer, but who knows. Can I ask why you rejected UW in the first place?</p>
<p>okay!! thanks for the responses. I’m planning on talking to my parents first, and then contacting the admissions staff. It’s actually going to be very hard for me, because they originally wanted me to attend UW. How come parents are always right…</p>
<p>Why I rejected UW? I had this on my other thread so I’ll just copy and paste it: </p>
<p>I was also considering a smaller private school because I really wanted a place where there was a sense of community, where I could be in smaller classes and develop better relationships with my professors, and also it’s a lot easier to get involved in activities when the school’s population is smaller, I wouldn’t have to worry about not getting into classes because they’re full or competing for a major.</p>
<p>At the time I made the decision I went through all these phases of what I wanted to major in, I was really trying to find an area I was serious about because I was worried with the smaller selection of programs at the private school, they wouldn’t have a program that interested me. I had several areas I considered but was still fuzzy on what I wanted to do so I made an immature decision and I chose a school not based on whether it would provide me with my academic needs, but with what kind of atmosphere I wanted in a school.</p>
<p>also, the majority of the kids at my high school are attending UW, and several family members also are Huskies, it was a huge battle of what I wanted and what other people wanted and expected of me… I didn’t want to go just because “everybody else is” but obviously I was very confused on what I wanted, but now I have things straight.</p>
