[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it's September and my kid already knows they want to transfer. I agree that the school doesn't seem like a great fit. DC is not at a highly competitve school, so that is not an issue.
Are there schools that accept Spring transfers? 
If not for Spring, how best to position DC to transfer for next fall? DC won't have any college grades by typical application season so how does that work?
Anyone elses's child btdt?
Thanks for any advice.[/quote]

I think they would do better if they had some grades (so a school could evaluate them).

It might also help them to have a little more time. For example, my kid does not drink alcohol. She was a little disappointed her freshman year about how the whole discussion in the cafeteria on Sunday mornings was how wasted everyone got the night before.

In time, though, she found other students who did not drink. They now hang out and have lots of fun. So, perhaps, with time his/her view might soften?
(Either way, I suspect they will have trouble transferring with no grades. THOUGH, if she tries to go to a school that had already accepted her, that might be possible. My nephew did this in the first week of the semester his freshman year. There is a story there, he had not just changed his mind...but the point is when he reached out to the other school--a big state university--they took him.)[/quote]
