Hi everyone! Some people on this forum might remember me from nearly two years ago, when I couldn’t afford any of the colleges I had initially gotten into and needed serious help. I ended up attending YSU with a major in journalism and a minor in telecommunication studies. Since then, I’ve done pretty well there. I’m on the newspaper staff, work with/am a founding member of two TV shows on campus, am the editor of the yearbook, and have joined a few clubs. Along with this, I’ve maintained a 3.81 GPA with a 4.0 so far this semester. While my experience at YSU has been good, I feel like I’m outgrowing the university and it’s starting to feel small. I’m thinking about transferring, but I would need a good amount of financial aid and I’m worried if I transfer to a larger and/or “nicer” school, I won’t be able to be as involved as I currently am. I’m also heavily considering graduate school, and would like to keep that in mind for the rest of my academic career. Should I transfer? Where to?
TLDR stats:
Journalism major/telecommunications minor
Sophomore
3.81 GPA/4.0 this semester
Extreme involvement within my major at YSU
In HS: 4.1 GPA, 1320 SAT, numerous ECs
