CHANCE ME PLEASE!!!
My dream school has always been William and Mary from when I was a kid and it’s talked about so much in my family because of how much I bring it up that my love for this school has even been deeply instilled into my family! Starting with high school, my high school GPA and stats were not the best and was initially actually rejected from the school. This was a big bummer but was sort of expected but applied with some hope. Everyone I talked to after my rejection had said that VCU was the right fit for me anyways. I wanted to believe them and try it for myself. After spending almost a semester, I don’t think it has soaked into me and truthfully I don’t think it ever will. It is not where I belong and does not have the sense of home and it really doesn’t feel right. I have tried every possible way to go out and turn myself around even out of my comfort zone to find the fit I was looking for but it did not come to me at VCU. On top of all of that, I wanted to switch my major to neuroscience because I thought it would be the right fit for me between biology and psychology but VCU also does not have this major. I couldn’t feel more out of place with everything being presented to me and that is when I understood that transferring is the best option. While I am going to admit I was thinking of trying to transfer to William and Mary, I was hoping to find a home at VCU because I believed that there was a reason I had ended up there but that turned into a sour note. I urned for a smaller community and looked for calm serenity which was not what VCU was in any way, in the middle of Richmond city with bustling traffic and city culture. Most of all why William and Mary? because it is home to both my heart and me overall
College wise, I am currently a freshman at VCU and I think that I have drastically shown my level of learning and pushed myself to keep doing better. These are my stats, chance me please!!
