Closure

Transfer Students
1

<p>I’m writing this last post to find some closure in my life after spending nearly three anxious years waiting in purgatory. </p>

<p>I found out this morning that I was accepted to transfer to the Wharton School for the class of '11. As you can imagine, I was ecstatic. I feel vindicated, but at the same time, I feel that Wharton won’t make a shred of difference in whether or not I will succeed. I was one of the countless CCers who worried incessantly and needlessly. I thought only about prestige and not about what I wanted in college.</p>

<p>I spent the last two years of high school trying to get into schools like HYPS and Wharton, and failed. I was only accepted to one out of 7 schools that I applied to, and I spent the next year of college trying to transfer out. I applied to more schools, and was rejected again, and Penn was the last school I was waiting on. </p>

<p>I waited in despair for three weeks, but I finally got where I wanted to. I won’t post stats because I want to remain anonymous as I start a new life in Philly and because like people say, stats don’t matter after a certain point. </p>

<p>I hope more people on CC will look more for fit than prestige. It does not make any difference where you go to college as long as you get an education, make a good group of friends, and enjoy yourself. </p>

<p>Peace.</p>

<p>Shall we take you at face value? Would you still write this if you hadn’t been accepted?</p>

<p>Good luck. I hope you succeed somewhere.</p>

<p>Easy for someone who has been accepted to Wharton to say. :slight_smile: – Unless this revelation led you to the conclusion that you will NOT be attending Wharton, due to poor fit.</p>
