Transferring back to original school next semester... Need opinions!

Okay, so here’s the situation. I’m a sophomore. Last year, freshmen year, I went to a Minnesota state school six hours away from my home in North Dakota. I absolutely loved it, made friends right away, was getting involved on campus and getting good grades, it was awesome. Over the summer though some things went down in my personal life and I panicked and moved home to be near family because I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to make it on my own financially and emotionally (in hindsight I’ll totally be fine). So I start school here and right off the bat, I know that the Minnesota school was a better fit for me. The campus was smaller, class size was smaller, and I just liked it better in general. I realized that my reasons for coming back to my hometown weren’t good ones and my decision to come back home was a decision I made when I was in panic mode and not a decision I thought through fully. I dropped all my classes before the drop date and am basically taking a semester off to save money, recover from my summer from hell, and get my shit together.

ANYWAYS, I reapplyed to the Minnesota school and they’re asking for my transcript from the ND school but the thing is, I didn’t actually take any classes there. Do I still need to send for it? Isn’t that kind of pointless? What do I do? I’m in panic mode again lol.

Has anyone transferred back to their original school before? After how long? Was it worth it?

If you dropped all your courses before they goon the record as Withdraws then you have no record to submit. If there are W grades, then you probably have to have it sent.

Did you withdraw form the first school, take a leave of absence, or just leave? If you just left or withdrew, then you do need to apply again to be reinstated. If you took a leave of absence, then the reinstatement is much easier.

In any case, call the admission office and explain. Don’t panic! If you have to travel there and discuss it in person, do so.

Thanks! I withdrew from the first school midsummer. I did reapply this week, but my application won’t be processed until I get the second school to send my transcript…

Then just ask for a transcript, which will be blank… I wonder if the second school will even consider it a transcript if you never actually attended.
