Two more considerations if a child were to transfer to a PA school


If they were the star at their high school, trsnsferring as a senior to a school where they are one of the many talented might be extremely detremental to their confidence during their college auditions.
The influence of the other PA students and their very strong teenage opinions of what the ‘best schools’ are might result in your child having very short list of just reach schools as opposed having a well rounded list of good fit schools. I actually saw this happen to one very talented young lady. A group of other students had her convinced that you had to go to CCM, CMU, BoCo, UMich or NYU or you were nothing. So she applied to just those five and got in no where as that year she was simply not a good fit for them.
