Hi Luchiano, congratulations on GW! As a rising junior preparing to transfer to an urban university (I’ll be attending NYU in the Fall) from a more suburban one, what are you doing to try and prepare yourself for the change?
Also, how was your transfer application experience?
Finally, I totally get your feeling of wondering whether your acceptance was truly “earned,” I feel the same way about my acceptance. Seeing people on the College Confidential thread saying, “I didn’t get in here, but I got into USC!” makes me wonder what truly stood out in my application. But I’m sure we’re both going to do amazing things over these next few years as transfer students (since these schools don’t take students they think won’t do great things), and I am hoping for all the best for you! Good luck in the Fall!
