[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People on here always say to transfer. [b]Yes, it is pretty easy to transfer into UVA, UNC, Northwestern or Vanderbilt, etc.[/b] However, transferring schools has a lot of issues too. Students can struggle to make friends and connect socially. Friend groups are established freshman year. I think transferring is a horrible idea unless your kid is absolutely miserable at the first school. Many kids do it for the prestige and ranking of the school.[/quote] Um, no, it isn't (not to those schools at least). Do you REALLY think that any Virginia kid who goes to, say, JMU or VCU freshman year and gets a 3.8 or above just walks into UVA as a transfer? Hardly.[/quote] DP, but um, YES. Do you really think UVA is unattainable to a kid who makes excellent grades at another university (especially, the two you mentioned)? Spare us. Of course kids transfer in. [/quote]
