Hey man. I understand where you are coming from. During high school with the competition for college acceptance flooding throughout the halls, anyone can become very ivy focused and even embarrassed for anything lower. But you got to go into your freshman year at UCSB with a better attitude. If you walk around campus looking down on everyone and feeling like you belong somewhere better, you are not going to make many friends and will have an awful time. I’m not saying you should not transfer (im transferring myself) but I do know that you got to give it a chance. Also, look at other schools besides the ivies. You might find a program you like somewhere else. If you transfer to an ivy, no one at that ivy will be impressed because they all go there too.

Anyway, i hope you give UCSB a chance and that you find the school thats best for you.
