[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which would you pick?

DD is headed to UChicago this fall (from NYC private) through the ED2 round. Deferred Columbia ED but decided to be risk-averse and not to wait it out - she is now considering transferring after 1 year. Obviously, this is just provisional, but would it be worth it to attend Columbia for 3 years? I'm not sure it would fulfill her like the typical 4-year students.[/quote]

If she is headed to Uchicago - why even have this conversations? I feel like its hard enough for kids to adjust to college without additional questions of possibly transferring up front.  Just my opinion![/quote]

It’s not unusual nowadays to think about college admissions as a two-step process.  Many kids from top private transfer to their better fit schools after freshman, and usually that works out well.  Private school college counselors actively advise students on this matter.  No doubt they will plan on the transfer from the get go.  This doesn’t mean they won’t engage in college life in the freshman year.  [/quote]
