Transferred schools end of junior year...

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey all. I went through a bit of a personal dilemma this year and had to transfer schools in May, which is about one month before the end of junior year here. Now, at this new school, I have no ECs, activities, and barely know my teachers. So obviously this causes a problem, because I was set on applying to some top schools, but I don't know how great my chances are now. </p>

<p>First of all, how do I emphasize this rather unfortunate situation I was put in? I loved my old school, had a bunch of things going right, but suddenly it's taken away from me. </p>

<p>Second, what do I do EC-wise? It'll probably be near impossible to get any sort of leadership position. </p>

<p>Third, what do I do for teacher recommendations? I understand that you're supposed to ask your junior teachers for them, correct? Should I try asking my old teachers for recs - and is that allowed? </p>

<p>Thanks for any help. If any of you have been in the same situation of transferring schools during high school, I'd like to know what you did, also.</p>

<p>I don’t see why you wouldn’t ask your junior year teachers for recommendations, and I think even if you have to take one of them as a supplemental recommnedation you should because the letter might explain your position and reason for transferring schools. Although, I don’t have any actual experience in cases like this.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
