hey everyone, i had solid ECs, three leadership roles, and strong LORs, but my transcript had three Cs due to family circumstances, which i explained in the additional info section. my essay was strong, and i applied test-optional. i got into three lacs and will be attending one, but i’m considering transferring to bowdoin. should i go test-optional again, or wait until my second year so my high school grades matter less?
would love any advice from those who’ve transferred!
