Hey there, OP. CONGRATULATIONS on free tuition and a scholarship to UConn! That is really great news.

It is early to think about transferring. Focus on the present! Right now you still have time to attend Accepted Students Day at UConn and to hear back from any possible waitlists. You are in a great position. It may not feel like you want to hear this but the true nightmare is for the students who applied to – and got into – top schools which they are now realizing they can’t afford. You have a great option so far and I hope you will keep us posted.

Also, I think it is totally understandable and completely normal to be stressed out and even disappointed at first. This will pass! I have been thru this three times now with our kids and it is hard to know that the prestige factor is really not all that it is built up to be. As your classmates get acceptances, and as you receive bad news, it is hard to handle.

So please, give yourself time… and keep in touch about how things are going!
