[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll keep this short. DD is a sophomore at an Ivy. Was assaulted and stalked her freshman year for five brutal and traumatizing months. Is miserable at the current school she's at and wants to leave. Has a 3.7 as a gender studies major. Where can she transfer to? Ideally, she wants to go to another Ivy (except Cornell or Penn because she hates those schools), but I feel like her GPA might prevent her from transferring to another Ivy. Other schools on her list are Wesleyan, Vassar, Barnard, Northwestern, and Stanford (I know, long shot). I've never been through this... Help! [/quote]

My son did the same was at Princeton and ended up going to Harvard from where he graduated 2 years ago (despite his dad and I attending P, and being disappointed he didn't to stay, it was the right decision to switch). I would think with Covid,  it could be to your advantage to transfer to her school of choice. A 3.7 is perfectly respectable in a top ivy.

If you think she has given it a really fair shot, and she is truly that unhappy I say get your apps in asap.I would be mindful as to how you explain why she wants to transfer. You do not want to have the school look at her as someone who does not adjust well/easily. I say this from the perspective of a sister in law who is a head admissions counselor at a top university (non ivy). Good luck either way![/quote]
