[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would make sure DS applies for transfer whether DH agrees or not, even if it means not telling him. Meanwhile, try to enjoy Emory.

Tufts undergrad does not feel pre-prof according to my freshman there. People are really exploring all the options, even those in business, engineering, pre-med paths.

Tufts overenrolled this year so they may not accept as many transfers, this is just my guess.

The school has done a great job with COVID. It might be more restrictive than Georgia but they are still keeping up all the social and extracurricular activities.

There was a snowstorm last weekend so they were skiing and sledding on pres lawn. There have been tons of ski trips to the Loj and all over the area.

Emory is a great school, but the vibes are very different. I hope it works out for your son. I would try to really dig through your DH’s reasons not to transfer, but advocate for your son’s happiness.[/quote]
This is bad advice, his reasoning for transferring is awful. There's no way, one could hate Atlanta while only being there 4 months. What does he hate about it? I lived there for years and still don't know all of it. What will his transfer essay even look like, I don't think it would go over that well with admissions officers. Either way the issue if his dad and the fact that he's rebelling against his dad. I'm sure DH wants son to follow in his footsteps career wise too. And frankly Emory would likely open more doors especially since he's legacy there. [/quote]
