<p>I think I may want to change schools. Is there a way to apply for a transfer before the year begins?</p>
<p>Same. Is it relatively easy? (WCAS->McCormick)?</p>
<p>buuuump…</p>
<p>WCAS to McCormick might be a little difficult but certainly not impossible or nearly as difficult as transferring into, say, Medill. I do believe they mentioned something about transferring schools in the brochure but I can’t be sure.</p>
<p>If it’s before you’ve taken any classes then it’s actually pretty simple. I know my freshman year I found out that a couple of my friends had transfered WCAS to McCormick, WCAS to Medill, Medill to COM, WCAS to SESP before they arrived on campus. It’s not guaranteed, but if you ask to switch early enough and clearly demonstrate (i.e. with words) that it isn’t a rash decision then it’s doable.</p>
