Hi all,
I’m going to be a rising junior (Class of 2019) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. There have been a few things that happened recently that made me consider looking to transfer to other schools, preferably ones that rank better than the program I’m in now. I looked at Washington because I wanted to stay close to family. However, I’ve realized I want to spread my wings now and am hoping I can get some insights as to what my chances are as a transfer. I will be seeking a spot in the Foster SOB.
