Hi!
I’m currently a rising sophomore at Oberlin taking a year off because of COVID and because I didn’t like it. I’ve been looking into schools to transfer too and I just can’t find much of anything that seems like a good fit and affordable. I’m looking for someplace that’s more laid back and less work-o-holic-y than Oberlin. I don’t really care about prestige, but good aid really matters. I still don’t know what I want to major in, but probably something in the social sciences. I really want to be somewhere where I can go hiking, or at least be outside during the winter. This is a strange request kind of, but I don’t want to be at a school that rewards and upholds inaccessible “academic language.” I’m leaning towards a bigger school, but a smaller school that’s a good fit would be fine as well.
My stats are
4.03 college gpa
3.98 highschool unweighted
4.658 highschool weighted
34 English act
28 Stem act
11 writing act
