Hello. I am a current freshman at Emory University. Due to a switch in my major, homesickness, and a feeling of not fitting in, I have decided that I would like to transfer to a school that is better for my major and closer to home. I am considering ivies and other top tier schools. I want to apply so I can attend Fall 2016 (with application due in March 2016). As a freshman, is this a good idea? My high school transcript and scores are all very good and I think I will get a high GPA this first semester. Thanks!
I’m in the same boat as you just at a different school and I don’t want to go to a “top tier school.” The major I chose is not what I thought it would be and my school is so small that there isn’t much to do. I too find myself homesick as not only do I miss my family but I miss my friends who all go to school within an hour away from my hometown (I’m 3 hours away.) I feel as if my reasons are good enough, but telling my parents is gonna be the tough part. How do you think your parents will take it?
