<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Big thing you must keep in mind is Chicago’s Core. I forget how many credits you need in core to graduate- I think it is 16. This means that you have 3 years to complete this extra course-load. Also, it is a quarter system. While it may allow you to finish more courses, it is for nothing - it is said that fun comes to die here. You have to finish a semester’s worth of work in 10 weeks. Sometimes, brain does need a little more time to have material sink in.
I think that is serious disadvantage that you should give a though as a transfer student. You would have to spend a lot of time doing core durinmg summer instead of internship which is the reason you want to switch.</p>
