I appreciate that, but I am pretty set on leaving after next year, so its important for me to start the transfer process much earlier this time around. If none of those universities I am interest in transferring to offer me admissions, I’ll hopefully have a chance to finish out at one of my local state schools (I live in Mass, so UMass Amherst likely). I just know Cornell isn’t the place for me for reasons that are both academic, and those I’d rather not get into.
Thanks to everyone for the advice.
