I recently was accepted into a UConn branch school, but I was unable to get into my first choice of main campus at Storrs.

I have a 3.3 GPA, 1800 on my SATS and I’m involved in many extra curricular activities. I’m also an Eagle Scout.

I have a two questions.

1.) Is there any possible way I can still get into the Storrs campus? Should I call the college and tell them how much it means to me to go to the main campus?

2.) Is commuting to a branch school that bad? I got into the West Hartford branch, but I would like to have the full college experience of living on a campus. Waiting 2 years to get into Storrs seems a long time from now, especially that all my friends will be on a real college campus while I’m commuting.

If anyone has any experiences or suggestions with this please let me know. Thanks!
