During High School, I applied to both colleges and other Chicago-land area schools. I was accepted into DePaul but not into UIUC. Urbana was my first choice so I wanted to go to a 2-year school and try to re-apply to UIUC afterwards. However, my parents pressured me into going to DePaul so in the end I ended up going. Now, I’m kind of regretting my decision but I was thinking that maybe I could do a year in DePaul and transfer to Urbana. However, my current major is Business Administration. Is it still possible to transfer anyways? If I weren’t majoring in Business but I was in General Studies, would it still not be possible?
If you have a good GPA at DePaul, there is no reason not to try for a transfer, if that’s what you want to do. Business is a popular major at UIUC, not as hard to get into as CS or Engineering, but still competitive. Having strong grades will be an important factor. Good luck to you!
Do note that DePaul has a lot of pull and weight with Chicago area businesses and it’s obviously easier to intern/work at a prominent place during the school year due to its location in downtown Chicago. Something to think about.
