[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I went a thousand miles from home because my parents were having an awful divorce.  You would think I made a superior choice.

A year later, I’d transferred back to a school 20 miles from my front door because it was a better fit (and just as elite)

Was I a failure?

Sounds like you struggled to make friends or meet a boy, so you transferred to where your high school friends were. Such transfers happen a lot, especially if parents stress about $.[/quote]

Huh? Not at all. The first school is quite good, but wasn’t a good fit for me. Only one of my high school friends got in where I landed -ivy - and there were no boys involved. And we had plenty of money. I’d just matured enough to be Physically near my parents without getting drawn in to their drama.

So you made no friends or you felt dumb around the aggressive Ivy gunners?[/quote]

I transferred TO the ivy.  And had a perfectly good college experience.

Why are you so nasty? [/quote]
