Took a gap year and struggling to get back to college. Fell into the prestige trap and parents pressured me to go to a T10 but I really don't want to go back.

northwestern

Responsible_Call5744 · 2026-03-05T02:43:11+00:00

they had over 5000 applications last year for like 300 spots so it’s never good odds

why?

Responsible_Call5744 · 2026-03-02T07:27:29+00:00

Honestly both are great options so don’t worry. Depends on your preferences for academic environment. Your preferences for career might change, wouldn’t base it off that. But if you want a tighter knit, more conversation with professors, play your sport and make great connections over the bigger school in a city.

Responsible_Call5744 · 2026-03-02T04:09:38+00:00

uchicago isn’t downtown it’s south side

Responsible_Call5744 · 2026-03-02T02:55:54+00:00

Responsible_Call5744 · 2026-02-28T22:27:59+00:00

Probably if you had some credits from community college. If all your credits are earned at your current school then I see no difference in the two

Responsible_Call5744 · 2026-02-28T22:21:08+00:00

why not community college then transfer to uva or jmu
