<p>Hi, everyone,
So I am thinking about transferring to a college on the east coast. Right now, I go to a Top 50 school where I am an honor student. I have a 3.7 GPA, and I think it would be best for me to transfer to a school that will better fit my needs (and be closer to home). My intended majors would be either be Political Science and Philosophy or English and Philosophy (still deciding what I'll be best at). Any suggestions on schools I may qualify o get into?</p>
<p>If you’re looking for a school close to home, I would start from there. Where on the east coast do you want/intend to transfer? (NY, VA, FL etc ?)</p>
<p>My parents live in North Carolina and the school I go to is over 735 miles away. I was thinking NC would be fine, but I also wouldn’t mind going up ass far up as New York, as far down as Atlanta, Ga or as far east as Washington DC (all are about 6 hours away). Any school within that would be great.</p>
<p>Sorry, *as. Auto correct…</p>
<p>Are you currently depending on financial aid? Transfers rarely receive as much aid as freshman so if you can say how much you can afford to pay, you may get some more useful answers. Are you a rising sophomore or a rising junior?</p>
<p>I am a rising Sophomore thinking about leaving next summer when I will be a rising Junior. I currently get a large scholarship that (coupled with a small amount of financial aid) covers everything. I am very conflicted about leaving. Most times, I want to stay at my school because I love it, but it has been extremely difficult to cope with being so many miles away from friends and family.</p>
<p>Why don’t you try UNC-CH? Am I correct in assuming you are in-state for NC schools since you say your parents live in NC? Honestly if you have a large scholarship that covers most of your costs you are unlikely to be able to get anything close to such a great deal as a transfer. If most of the time, you want to stay where you are because you love it you really need to give yourself another year there to be sure you really need to transfer. It may be that you will mature enough in that time to adjust to your current school and appreciate the new friends you can make where you are.</p>
