@Fatsquirrel I’m not out of my lane. Lol you basically confirmed what I said. That’s all the more reason to not go to a college if you didn’t get into the school you want. If there’s a 70% chance you won’t get to transfer into the school you want, then you’re gonna end up with a degree you don’t want.
Just because a lot of people go to Michigan with the hopes of transferring into Ross doesn’t mean it’s a good idea, as the overwhelming amount of people don’t get in according to you. That’s like what happens a lot with Syracuse. People will apply and get rejected by Newhouse, but will choose to go to the College of Arts and Sciences with the hope of transferring in, all to get the disappointment of not being able to transfer.
I had a guidance counselor tell me to apply to the iSchool or CAS at Syracuse because it’s too hard to get into Newhouse. Of course, I applied to Newhouse and got in.
But if I were to go to apply to the CAS or iSchool just as a way to get my foot in the door at Syracuse, similar to Ross, odds are, I would be very disappointed when I try to transfer. Newhouse only accepts 30 students for transfer and most students end up unhappy.
If you don’t get in the school you want and you know it’s a competitive program, you shouldn’t go, or at least shouldn’t go with the expectation of getting in. It’s better to just go where you know for a fact you are in the program you desire, especially when you’re paying so much money as an OOS student.
