I’m a freshman at VT this year and I honestly don’t think it’s the right place for me. Don’t get me wrong, most people are nice and the campus is beautiful and all, but I just don’t feel at home and I’ve decided to transfer to some schools in Virginia. I am applying to William and Mary, U of Richmond, and UVA (don’t kill me) for sure, but I’m scared that I won’t be accepted to any of them. So I was thinking that I should apply at GMU as a back up. However I know that GMU is pretty far behind Tech as in rankings and name recognition goes so I’m not sure this is the right decision for my future. However I am a business major (currently marketing but thinking about switching to accounting) so it wouldn’t be as bad if I were an engineering major. Do you guys think it would be really dumb in terms of future job placement to transfer? Thanks!
