You’re planning to transfer before you even get there. Why are you even going? Why not take a gap year?

There are a couple things that give me pause on responding to your questions. For one, your parents are taking out loans for IU. The loans would be MUCH greater at NYU. Is that fair to them? Second, your HS record isn’t very impressive. A 26 ACT and 3.7 WGPA is just not all that great. Also, I wonder what your full HS UWGPA is. Trying to transfer during freshman year will mean they will mostly use your HS record.

If you really do want to work “on the Street” then I think IU may be your best bet.
