Transferring for spring semester of freshman year?

Transfer Students
1

Hey everyone, I’m trying to transfer out for next semester to a better location, preferably one in the city. My school is fine, but academically I have a new mindset and the school is not a fit for me. This is something I new coming in but I didn’t have a choice coming. Long story short, you’re not going to convince me not to transfer. So my question is, what College report am I supposed to send if I haven’t even had my first midterms yet?

You should call the universities you’re planning to apply to for more information. You probably won’t need to submit that document since it would be impossible for your registrar to fill it out.

Do not bother applying to any colleges that denied you last year.

Not all universities allow freshman spring transfers.
Also, if you didn’t have a choice, what has changed? (I’m worried the “no choice” came from parents who wouldn’t have changed your mind).
Finally, there’s the financial aspect : you’ll lose any scholarship you got and won’t get another one, so finances may become a problem.

You can apply to

  1. Universities that accept freshman transfers and already admitted you last spring for this Fall. Email your rep and explain you changed your mind, want to attend THEIR university in the spring, what should you do?
  2. draft a new list of universities where you’d be sure of getting into with your high school grades (NOT Universities that rejected you, but an entire new set of matches and safeties - reaches will want to see a minimum of a full year of college grades.)

Lol, I guess since everyone is giving you unwarranted advice/comments anyway, I guess I’ll chime in:

No one is here to stop you from transferring. If you feel like you may be getting the same canned response, or that you feel like “defending” your position, then you completely miss the point of what people are trying to tell you.

That being said, what the two posters said above is completely true.

From your post history, it seems like you were deferred from UMichigan. If you’re planning to apply there again, as @TomSrOfBoston stated, you shouldn’t.
