Thank you!

I’m not looking at it as something cheaper. I already have a cheap safety, but I want to see what I can do with some better schools. I fully understand that my financial aid prospects are poor.

I figure I’m going from a STEM school to a STEM school, so it shouldn’t be too colossal of a change in rigor. While I’m expecting it to be a partial change, I’m still running with a lot of extra-curricular activities right now and can afford to drop some in favor of academics if I need to.

I didn’t perform as well as I liked in high school. I’m doing far better in college than I did in high school, and while my performance in high school left some doors closed, I want to see if I can reopen them through the transfer process and get to somewhere I feel I should be(It’s not that I think Clarkson is bad, I just think I can do better).

I have taken Calculus 1, Chemistry 1, a design/teamwork class(Engineering and society, focusing on the interaction between engineers and society and vice-versa, with a lot of team design built in), and two standard freshman courses. I will have taken Calculus 2, Chemistry 2, and Physics 1 as well as a Matlab course and a Psychology class by the end of this semester.
