<p>I know it's definitely not ideal but has anyone done 3 schools in 4 years?</p>
<p>For example I may go UMiami to UConn to Brown (this is an example)</p>
<p>Can anyone comment on their experience and if it is recommended?</p>
<p>i am planning to.</p>
<p>top canadian university–>nyu–>georgetown (if the waitlist doesn’t work out).</p>
<p>Yes. Technically in the fall I will have officially attended 3 colleges in 3 years. The first one doesn’t really count though since I was only there for 5 weeks before I took a year off from school.</p>
<p>yes, unfortunately. it’s not my ideal plan but i can’t seem to give up my opportunity at UNC. does anyone know how much this affects graduate schools, and particularly jobs?</p>
<p>where you earn your degree matters. not how you got there!!! work hard, get into UNC, get your dream education and live your dream life!! good luck!</p>
<p>St. John’s University > SUNY Binghamton > (Summer classes at a local college) > Penn</p>
<p>I’m not looking forward to paying for transcripts for graduate applications. One from each will really be a pain.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt –> Parsons (PURE HATE. But since I’m international, couldn’t take a year off despite Barnard waitlist. Reapplied.) –> Barnard College (HOLLA)</p>
<p>Vanderbilt (despite leaving) and Barnard, best decisions of my life. Parsons, not so ideal. But if it takes another transfer to get to my dream, then 3 *****ing schools it is. If you have a legit and out of this world kinda story to tell, then it might make you an even more interesting applicant for grad schools/jobs. I know I have specific reasons to cite and specific experiences that I’m happy I went through. And yeap, doesn’t matter how you get the degree you want - as long as you end up getting it, then you’re a baller.</p>
<p>I don’t think if there’s anything wrong with that.
In the meantime, I’m trying really hard to transfer.
I’m currently an international student, which means I left my country for my current college, but it doesn’t worth to stay. </p>
<p>Just one note: female to male ratio in my department is 1:5</p>
<p>Be aware, some colleges just copy-paste their mission from other universities’ website - nasty</p>
<p>Thanks guys…such a tough decision for me…Anyone else wanna comment?</p>
<p>****Also, for those that took a year off (after one or two years), how did you apply as a transfer without teacher recommendations?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>You can always go to campus and find them.
And if you work during gap years, you can get references from your employer which is a bonus.</p>
<p>thewoman,</p>
<p>Why would Vanderbilt be one of the best decisions of your life? I actually attend there now and will be transferring out, eh.</p>
<p>^ because my best friends and boyfriend are there 
Sentimental reasons. What year are you? Where you transferring to?</p>
<p>Well I’m a rising Junior and will most likely be attending Brown if I don’t get off the Columbia WL. ARGH. Is Parsons in NYC? I have a friend who has a friend who transferred to a school in NYC… hahahaha. Small world I guess. haha</p>
<p>Haha ggoodluck w the Columbia wlist! Just so you know, I went to brown at least 3x this year to hang out and party. Brown is an awesome and fun school!!! congratulations! and yeah parsons is in NYC, and I’m pretty sure I’m one of those people hahaha there were two girls I know who left for NYC- the other went to NYU and I to parsons lol! So glad il be going to Barnard though</p>
<p>so don’t worry about going to 3 schools during your undergrad career! Haha</p>
<p>HAH. WOWWWWWW this is eerie.</p>
<p>I went from UMiami –> Brown –> Yale. 3 transfers. I also took 1.5 years off college to work!</p>
<p>Was hard to find prof recs, but had my employer do it. Are you really going to umiami or was that an example?</p>
<p>I went to three schools before earning my BS over many years. I graduated in 2001, 21 years after high school graduation. However, I attended part-time most semesters, when I attended. I graduated having earned about 134 credits. My major was computer science, my minor was mathematics. I also had enough credits for a double major in theology - however SUNY doesn’t offer that ;)</p>
<p>In 1980-81 I went to Elim Bible Institute
In 1984, then returning 1996-1997 I went to Mohawk Valley Community College
I was accepted as a full Junior at SUNY Inst. of Technology @ Utica/Rome in 1998.</p>
<p>Going to three schools in four years is perfectly fine. This fall semester, I will have gone to three different schools for three different semesters. So long as you give a reasonable explanation as to why, colleges just care that you do well there.</p>
<p>Villanova—>UMass Lowell—>NYU</p>
<p>(I left Villanova after first semester because I hated it, came home and took classes, but didn’t officially enroll, transfered out to NYU)</p>
<p>i transfered from SUNY buffalo to Purdue (entering as a sophomore) then I thought I’d like it there but I didn’t… now I am a junior and I am considering transferring out but that would make me a senior by the time I get to my new school (not sure where that may be)…</p>
<p>any opinions?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>keep in mind some schools require you to spend 2 years there before you can graduate</p>
