I am currently in my freshman year at my current school. I got admitted into my dream school, but chose not to go there. I picked my current school because I felt that it would be an easier transition into college since I knew people that were going to my same school. While I do like it at my current school part of me always wonders if I would be better off if I had chosen my dream school instead.
Which leads me to my question of if you think I should consider transferring to my dream school, or stay at my current school and possibly go to the other one for grad school,
By the time you are ready for grad school, the best place for that probably won’t be your current dream school. Even if it is, the grad school experience is not at all the same as the undergrad, so what seems so dreamy now may not be remotely important to you then.
You chose your current college over the dream school, so clearly dreaminess does not mean perfect. Think carefully through what it was that made the dream school so appealling, but still failed to override other factors for you. What has changed in your life to make you think that your choice was the wrong one? Is dream school truly a better option for your personal and career goals, or are you just having a bit of unfounded and unnecessary buyer’s remorse?
I think it depends how happy you are at your current school. You didn’t really share that except to say that you wonder about the dream school. You could always reapply and cross that decision bridge if you are accepted again. But if you are happy, focus on the here and now and enjoy your time.
