i applied my senior year of hs ed then was deferred to rd and then waitlisted
i tried to apply as a spring transfer but they don’t take freshman transfers
i have a couple friends at wake and listed them as connections
i just submitted all my application docs and hoping we won’t have to wait till may for the decision
no not at all. honestly majority of my classes are taught by teachers assistants (even my current sophomore/junior level classes). 63% of my class is all south carolina students which is an issue because there isn’t a competitive atmosphere and a lot of people come into clemson knowing each other. a lot of students only goal was to get into clemson (again, not an atmosphere that pushes academic success). greek life is pretty inclusive. i went thru rush and ended up at zeta and that was pretty much the only rlly good thing that came out of my first semester. i did end up dropping because i knew i wanted to transfer and wake doesn’t have a zeta chapter. for social scene, frats can be fun but only significantly intoxicated bc it’s mostly a bunch of sweaty people jumping around in a basement. the downtown area was fun for a bit mostly because of my friend group. there’s SLED which is undercover cops that go around giving MIPs (minor in possession). they go to every bar and that basically means ur nights over by midnight until ur a junior/21. be careful because a lot of times they dress up like frat boys and try to get underage kids to tell them their real age and they will give u an MIP that way. i’ve never been so nervous about cops in hs. also cops a walk around dorms around 9-11 on the weekends to see if people are drinking. it rlly just puts a burden on trying to experience college. at the end of the day i’m transferring because both social and academic life is extremely disappointing. on the bright side, i have met a lot of great friends and the business school is new. also, grades aren’t as stressful because all you need is a 90 for an A aka 4.0.
@senior4wake Have you heard anything? Do you know if anyone applying for a transfer has heard anything yet? Wake reports to the gov’t that transfer admissions are “rolling starting April 1.” However, I asked the office, and they said sometime in mid-May is when we should hear.
