Yeah, you’ve got a pretty great grasp on the situation as a whole. My apologies for sounding too vague on the homefront situation, I guess I should specify; commuting from home is absolutely possible and my home life (while not preferable to living at a college) is doable and I’ll keep CUNYs in mind as commuter school oppertunities if other options end up too expensive. Thank you so much for being so thorough and specific! Seriously, you guys are all the best and it means the FREAKING world to me that you guys are helping, for real!
I’ve heard amazing thing’s about Bryn Mawr. Even visited there once for a trip! Only problem is that…uh…I’m kind of a cis-guy…sorry! Still great suggestions, even if they don’t work for me haha.
You’re absolutely right, thank you so much for the heads up! I’ve already asked my advisor (a bio professor) for a rec, but I think I have another professor in mind too for the second one, so I’ll reach out ASAP and see what they say.
As far as I can research, this seems to be true in the case of HEOP schools unfortanutely. However, according to the EOP website:
If the previous college did not offer EOP or a similar program, you may be considered for transfer to EOP and should notify the college to which you are transferring of your interest.
So if I end up applying to a public SUNY, it looks like I may still be able to apply for it.
I was reading it as the inverse? I guess I’ll contact people at NYSED and see what they say. It may also be the case that it varies from institution to institution.
Much research to be done and many new threads to explore c: ty!!!
That’s AWESOME news. (I really didn’t feel comfortable assuming.)
It means you can have CUNYs (City, Hunter) as possibilities and, depending on transit time, perhaps even Stony Brook which is great for biology. That’s really awesome news.
I may recall wrong (don’t have time to research each possibility and am using memory) so read up the HEOP/EOP page for each university and only trust what you read there.
You might want to consider a mind reset on your notion of what you can get out of college in terms of social experience, and look towards life after college. You had social difficulties at boarding school and at Grinnell, you’ve been getting counseling for these issues for the past six years at least, and it’s not getting better. Perhaps it’s time to consider looking towards life beyond college, beyond the goal of making friends in college, and towards the goal of work/career after college, and of making friends outside of college.
For that reason, I think that going home (which I presume is what’s going to happen after the Copenhagen semester, anyways) and planning to finish your degree at an appropriate CUNY within reasonable commute of home is not a bad idea. At the same time, you could be working at developing a social life outside of college, through part time work, hopefully in your field, and volunteering in a place where you can meet other people and practice social skills.
At this point, the goal is staying emotionally healthy, (being at home with family support may help towards that), finishing your degree without incurring horrendous debt, and looking towards life after college.
