International Relations major considering transfering

Transfer Students

<p>First off, as of 2 months ago I was for sure transferring rather than considering it. Background: I didn't do well in high school and ended up going to a mediocre regional school, Northern Michigan University. I'm a 3Rd semester student and currently have a 3.88 GPA and quite a few EC's so my expectations from those around me is to transfer. Thing is, I really love this place. I've never been more content in my life. It's not even my group of friends but the place - unlimited nature and just a very nice energy here.</p>

<p>My question to you guys is, as an IR major looking to go on to graduate school, would I be throwing quite a bit of my future away if I chose not to transfer? </p>

<p>IMHO, no you will not! Please get rid the prestige idea out of your mind. If you do well in the current school, you will be able to get to a highly ranked Graduate School for IR such as Georgetown or Harvard.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that for I.R. foreign work experience/internships play a pretty big role in Grad school admittance. So as long as you maintain that GPA and show your future school that you had some great internships, you’re set!</p>
