<p>brassring: I applied to USC because I heard their aid program is excellent even for internationals (which I had to apply as) and the school is very close from my house… I applied to JHU (as an international) just to see if I can get in.</p>
<p>nodnarb: Yeah I plan on going grad school. Thanks</p>
<p>altema: Thanks for those insightful posts. I really appreciate it. </p>
<p>fortify: I do care for the freshman experience, but I don’t care if people assume that I didn’t get in the first time. I don’t think most people at UCLA are shallow enough to see me any differently just because I transferred. I am attending CC right now and some people in the class are smarter than me; I don’t judge people to be less impressive/slackers because they are at CC. And as altema said, I rather miss the freshman experience than be a burden to my family.</p>
