[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that realistic?  Lots of places don’t accept transfers before junior year. [/quote]

I feel like we have had this conversation before, most colleges actually do accept transfers after freshman year. In fact every single kid I know who has transferred, did it after freshman year. Not sure where you're getting this information?[/quote]

+1  I know quite a few kids who transferred to, gasp, a Top 25 school after freshman year.  It is a thing.

The OP's daughter has a sound plan.  She applied to a school as a safety and it turns out that was a good choice to have in place as a backup.  Now she will use her safety school to help her get to her goal school.  Sounds like the OP's daughter is a very smart girl.

Not every path to success is a straight line.  The OP's daughter has figured that out.  Go, girl, go![/quote]

I also think that going to a school and earning outstanding grades, participating in campus activities, and showing what you bring to the table, is a much better alternative to hanging out at home taking a gap year.  People who do stuff and who show their stuff are going to be in a much better position of getting chosen than the couch potatoes hanging around waiting for the show to start imo.[/quote]

Don’t think you understand a gap you.  Most people who take them don’t sit around at home being couch potatoes.  They do internships, volunteer work, travel, and some even take some classes.[/quote]

**Year** not you[/quote]
