<p>The problem is that you think you will get more respect once you transfer from ILR to CAS Econ. Honestly, it’s not going to matter. No one on campus (or elsewhere) is going care what school you go to. One of the things I like about being a college student is that things like SAT’s and acceptance rates don’t matter anymore. In HS and on College Confidential, you get credit for high SAT’s and getting into selective colleges but as you mature, you learn to respect people for what they’ve accomplished, not what school they go to. I meet people from a variety of undergrads at my med school interviews, from Harvard to Michigan to Cal-State Fullerton. I never once think that I’m better than someone because my name tag says “Cornell University” while theirs say “Oakland University.” If we’re interviewing at the same place, we both must’ve done something amazing whether it be getting good grades or saving an African village. I know the SAT scores of practically all my HS friends. I know the SAT scores of only a couple of the friends I’ve made since college.</p>
