I feel like i’m back to last fall waiting decisions to come out. My daughter has decided to transfer to UNC Charlotte from UNC Wilmington. She applied as a transfer student on 9/30/20 and now the wait begins. They are saying 6-8 weeks for a decision which makes me nervous. She has decided to find an off campus apartment with someone she knows but it’s going to be down to the wire if they take so long. Freshman are not required to live on campus in Charlotte. I hate she will lose the on campus experience but right now there really isn’t any kind of experience, her 3 weeks in Wilmington has her wanting to be out on her own.

How did the transfer request work out? Fingers crossed for you.
@EconPop it worked out. she is transferring this spring. She will do online classes and stay home spring semester and move to Charlotte in the fall.
Thanks for asking

Just thought I’d pop in and say Happy St. Patrick’s Day along with a quick update on my twins D20 and S20’s first year thus far…what a tumultuous first year for everyone. Any updates from others? I have one staying put and one transferring.
D20 doing well at University of Mary Washington after a few bumps in the road (bad roommate first 2 wks, but then found great roommate and group of friends). It’s been difficult with Covid restrictions (UMW is ultra strict) but D20 has made the best of it and has not wanted to come home on weekends even though we are about 1 hr away (and even though her boyfriend still lives near us)…which says a lot. She hasn’t changed her mind about majoring in Elementary Education. Her only complaint is on campus dining quality and quantity of options but loves being in Fredericksburg - very walkable to downtown shops and restaurants. She hopes to be in campus apartments next fall so she can have a full kitchen and not as dependent on campus dining. Of course she is hoping to have her car with her…still thinking on that one.
S20…well…the bumps in his road required a DETOUR which hopefully will work out in the end. As a soccer athlete he was ecstatic to be recruited to play soccer at Virginia Military Institute - his uncle’s alma mater. VMI is tough even without Covid…but as an athlete, the rigorous “ratline” was a breeze for S20. Unfortunately for a variety of other reasons it just never clicked for him – during the extended long winter break he heard stories from all of his HS friends and his twin sister about “regular” college experiences. On top of that he didn’t make it into Comp Sci major (VMI requires you select upon admission - he was a late admission due to being soccer recruit so no spots left) and they put him in Engineering which he didn’t want. Long story short, he is now completing his freshman spring semester at NoVa Community College with plans to transfer to Old Dominion University’s School of Cybersecurity where he plans to get a BS in Cybersecurity. ODU is the complete opposite of VMI and hopefully S20 will do well - I at least look forward to visiting him often as ODU is about 20 minutes away from Va. Beach!!

Thanks for the update. I was curious how your kids were doing. If I recall, your son had some interest from the ODU coaches as well. Will he be playing there?
@eb23282 - S20 has really lost interest in soccer…it’s been rough. Not sure if soccer will be in the cards for him at ODU – maybe club soccer.
