<p>at first this whole transfer process deflated me in every way possible... i tried for the first time as a mid-year transfer and then thought i'd get rejected eveywhere.
well then i WAS flat out rejected from cornell, but received an acceptance shortly thereafter and just received another package from wash u. already having conflicting thoughts, esp bc i might decide to stay!
what about other mid year transfers? good luck!!</p>
<p>My "second thoughts" really starting happening last week as I realized that the year is almost over and how I'm going to miss my friends a lot. A lot of that also related to the fact I wasn't counting on getting into my top choice at all (it's usually better for me to expect the worst so I'm not too disappointed when it happens). But then I was accepted, and now I'm totally stoked. I still have some doubts, especially where friends and financial issues are concerned, but overall I'm more excited about transferring now than ever. Although the idea of getting all my stuff together in less than a month is a little bit terrifying.</p>
<p>I'm not a midyear transfer, but I've experienced the "getting rejected from everywhre" phase when applying out of high school. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to me when I apply for fall transfer. It is quite draining, esp with this week being finals week.</p>
<p>i feel u : / and the deadlines are so soon! it is very mind-boggling that in a few weeks i can be in a completely different place...extremely scary. i don't even want to think about it at this point but i have to make a decision in a few days. but i still haven't heard from all my schools yet. do they realize the quandry we're in? ::runs to hide::</p>
<p>I know. This weekend I'm going to retire into my room and just stay there for a while, not thinking about anything. When I finally emerge, I'll get ready to look at the trasfer apps.</p>
<p>bullseye, i share the same experience, 7 schools!!! 7!!! all flat out rejects!!!
where are you applying for transfer?
i am applying to Dartmouth, hopefully this time it'll work out, i might retake SATs if i got time, but i doubt it, i think the most scariest and difficult part for me in transfering will be the 2 "Prof" recommendations, since non of my profs know me!!! :( class sizes are too big!!!</p>
<p>me too i don't know what i'll do for prof recs...</p>
<p>I'm going to try my best for the recs...umm let's see here, if I remember correctly, 3 admits (all three state schools), 1 waitlist (Wash U, like the rest of the world), and 10 flat out rejects. I ended up get rejected from WashU as well. 7 is bad, but 10 is worse. I was an idiot when I applied out of high school though. I've matured since, not to mention gotten better grades. I'm looking at Rice, Cornell, Brown, and UIllinois (safety). They only two I applied to out of high school was Brown (ED deferred later rejected) and UIllinois (I opted to go to a smaller school). NU and UChicago don't appeal to me anymore. I thought about WashU briefly, and then I discarded it.</p>
