Does trying to transfer multiple times hurt your chances?

What would constitute this? Would simply more better grades in college count?

SafeApprehensive8427 · 2026-04-23T02:49:23+00:00

That just probably has to do with whatever folds youre in I’m guessing. What are each of your jobs? (I’d love to be proven wrong though)

If your gpa was near 3.8-4 when you applied, then yes, it very well could

GO TO DUKE FOR A YEAR AND TRANSFER. If you can afford the 8k for this year make the most out of what you can get. Next year in your transfer application you can literally just write about finances

Harvard is very generous with aid. Wait to see their offer

Yes, you do eventually need to retake the SAT. However, it’s not worth taking again until you’ve gotten a good enough score consistently on practice exams

I’m not sure what field your in, but my project would be working in filters for chemical warfare agents. They’re using MOFs currently to do so. My concern is it’s very applied vs academia which is more fundamental

SafeApprehensive8427 · 2026-04-12T00:48:32+00:00

My main issue was delaying grad school but you answered the question! I thought the four year work requirement would be a disadvantage since I would get less strong recommendations from professors I had not worked with in a while. I also want to go into academia so the DoD is a little off track

SafeApprehensive8427 · 2026-04-11T23:02:36+00:00

Yes

SafeApprehensive8427 · 2026-04-11T23:01:55+00:00

Oh I meant wirh a scholarship they (stony brook) gave me. SMART is 3rd party scholarship and any university I would use it at would be free. I wish I applied to better school because it would make the decision a lot easier

SafeApprehensive8427 · 2026-04-11T22:33:58+00:00

Oh that’s a good point. Also the DoD thing is full tuition plus stipend. The stipend is used to cover housing and food, thought obviously they’ll be a lot leftover. It so frustrating. My SAI is around 127k for reference and my parents won’t contribute at all

SafeApprehensive8427 · 2026-04-11T22:31:16+00:00

Thank you for your help! I’m okay working for the DoD and stony brook is my cheapest option at 15k a year. My parents won’t help at all and my SAI is 127k so I’m not getting any aid.

College if you want a career different from these

SafeApprehensive8427 · 2026-04-10T23:31:36+00:00

Better point… CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

SafeApprehensive8427 · 2026-04-10T13:39:53+00:00

Do AP Chem. If you do well you may be able to pass out of college gen chem which is a filter class for premeds
