<p>I know/know of people who thought about transferring and even applied, and didn’t end up leaving, and I just assume that they decided that they could make Wellesley work, not that they were unable to get in at the schools that they applied to. That said, while I don’t think one needs to keep thoughts about transferring a big secret, there is something to be said for not trumpeting the fact that you are desperate to leave to every person you meet, as some of us actually like it here and don’t <em>really</em> need to listen to your rant about how much Wellesley and Wellesley students in general suck. Good rule of thumb is to keep it to yourself and your friends, I think.</p>
