Which transfer should I apply as?

<p>Applying as a spring transfer this year will show the admissions department your commitment and how much you want to attend. But, you basically had the same option and declined (I don’t blame you NUin is super unaffordable), so the admissions department may not take pity on you.</p>

<p>Applying after your first year could mean you didn’t like the school you’re attending, and would like the admissions department to give your application another chance. Where have you decided to go?</p>

<p>But don’t apply after your second year. Admission standards by then will surely rise. The admissions committee will question your intentions of transferring from (one of the colleges of the Fenway?) to another school in Boston because of the difference in ranking. And not because of one of the many reasons you, like myself, want to go to NU. </p>

<p>Go to the college you’re enrolled at. Go there with the intention of making the most of it and being happy. Don’t walk down the street to NU and feel horrible because you can’t use one of the shiny new treadmills you see in the Marino Center (I joke, I joke). Give yourself a full year without thinking about transferring; you may even decide you like ____.</p>

<p>tl;dr Apply after your first year.</p>
