what to do?

Transfer Students
1

<p>so i just finished my first year at a top 15 college and realized (too late) that it wasn't the college for me--i kept thinking it would get better, and all of a sudden it was the end of the school year and it had gotten worse</p>

<p>when i arrived home, i realized how unhappy i was (with the perspective that only hindsight can bring) and how much i dont want to go back. but i dont know what to do now--all of the transfer applications for colleges at the same level of my school are past (i had good grades btw). is there anyway i could still apply to these schools for next fall? any chance theyll look at me?</p>

<p>YES--A lot of people apply as sophomores and transfer as juniors.Thats what i'm doing. I'm applying this fall and will hopefully matriculate into my junior year at whichever school i choose to go to. </p>

<p>What is your major? And which school are you in?</p>

<p>You will have to spend one more year at your current college before you can transfer</p>

4

<p>currently, im a philosophy major at jhu</p>

<p>im worried abt applying as a junior transfer--isn't it a lot harder to make the switch then? everyones kinda found their niche...can i have any perspectives from people who have made the switch as a junior?</p>

5

<p>plenty of people have. you'll be fine.</p>

<p>edit: i was also a freshman at JHU last year. good luck with your transfer if you decide to.</p>

7

<p>so why'd you decide to leave JHU? I was thinkin of applyin there but heard a couple people were murdered on studentsreview.com, so I thought again.</p>

8

<p>i think the murders were instigated by troubled relationships? this was a year before i matriculated, so i have less details about it.</p>

<p>my reason to leave JHU is probably a little specific towards my case.</p>
