<p>How many of you out there have transfered freshman year after the first semester of college? How did it go for you? Why did you transfer? Are you happy or regretful with the decision?</p>
<p>Thank you to all who reply.</p>

<p>isn't there anyone who's been in this situation? :-/ :(</p>
<p>I'm in the situation right now. I'm went to High School in the US, but I'm going to college at the University of Glasgow in Scotland right now. I'm transffering cause its too far away from home, the facilities aren't that nice, and I don't really like the Scottish social life that much. I've applied to BU, Northeastern, University of Miami, and Ohio State-Columbus. I applied about 2 weeks ago, and got admitted to Ohio State, which is nice because its one of my top choices (they have a great rugby program and a good business school, which is something I'm looking for...its also cheap!!). Anyway, I would say it hasn't been difficult at all. Just call up the schools you want to apply to, and ask them what they want. I find email to be the worst tool of communication in this area, as the schools are always so vague and dont answer your questions properly. All of the schools just asked me to send my high school grades, my HS rec's, my SAT's, AP's, and a transfer status report form (disciplinary).</p>

<p>Can you post when you hear from Northeastern or BU! I too have applied for January admission and am anxiously waiting to hear!</p>
<p>I just talked to BU the other day actually, and they suddenly announced that they need my first semester grades in order to make a final decision, which in fact, if i'm transferring for January, almost makes no sense. I prob. won't get those till end of december/early january. Besides the fact that BU starts on January 3rd, I still think leaving it to what could be a few days before is cutting it a little close...I have yet to hear anything from Northeastern.</p>
<p>Thanks for the update! I have heard nothing from BU but suspect they will also want my first semester grades. Timing as you indicated is a problem. Never mind the need for financial aid! I am concerned about them reviewing my apps since both sites indicate they are waiting for a college transcript before it is sent to the admissions committee for review. Was that your experience? Keep me posted on Northeastern.</p>
<p>Heard from Northeastern...accepted but waiting for financial aid. Hopefully financial aid info will arrive early this week! They need a deposit by 11/25! UGH! </p>
<p>Nothing from BU except for e-mail from admissions and financial aid offices.</p>
<p>U?</p>
<p>Beaner, I applied to NEU arts and sciences with a 2.9 GPA from Syracuse University do i have a chance?</p>
