[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is especially true at schools where building relationships is important, like UVA and maybe W&M. You are already at a disadvantage if your arrive on campus as a junior when everyone else has been making contacts for two years already. [/quote] Life is full of disadvantages and advantages. If the kid made the choice to do this, I suspect they already know the issues. Kids transfer in every year from all sorts of schools. Some transfer in from private colleges or other state schools. I have a neighbor who transferred from Wand L--into the Comm School at UVA. He certainly knew what he was getting into. (Not sure if he went directly to Comm school or did that after he transferred--Comm school is quite competitive.) I think we all agree this is not the same as the four year experience. While there are disadvantages, there are also advantages--more mature, less likely to make poor choices? [/quote]
