Hello! I am currently a freshman at USC, but I’m having my doubts about it. I am keeping an open mind toward staying here, as I know I haven’t been here very long – but truthfully, I really do wish I’d applied to Stanford as a freshman, and it’s my top choice if I do end up deciding to transfer schools.
One primary factor in my consideration is the strength of Stanford’s Art History program, as that would be my intended major. I’ve done a lot of research but haven’t really been able to find any solid information on how good the program is – or on how good it is compared to USC’s program.
As to when I would transfer – frankly, I would be fine switching in at the beginning of my sophomore year, but I may have to wait until the beginning of my junior year for a number of reasons (namely, financial aid and not wanting to seem hasty in my decision).
I would love to hear any advice or comments you have to offer!
Thank you so much!!
