Transferring out of WUSTL to peer institutions (Rice, Notre Dame, Cornell)

@Lindagaf Apologies, I should have specified. I would likely be applying as a Junior (fall 2021) transfer and would still probably stick this year out at WUSTL since I know I’m really late to the process. I wasn’t really aware of what the transfer timeline was until it was too late. I’ve researched that Notre Dame and Cornell accept spring transfers so I’m going to try and apply for those places. But from what I can gather, the acceptance rates/space for spring transfers is much less than the fall, so I might be better served to just apply for the fall of 2021.

Follow up question: for the transfer essay I’d have to write, do you guys recommend that I include the thing about athletics and the food? Or should I focus on the more pressing issues?
