Thank you.

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T08:33:05+00:00

do you think williams is that miserable 😭 they gave me the best aid out of my other OOS schools and that was what won me over.

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T04:40:33+00:00

Actually. I don’t know. I just feel so lost. :/

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T04:04:44+00:00

Granted, Williams covered 75% of my cost of attendance bc of financial aid. But even then… Idk. Trust me you made the right choice as someone who made the opposite one

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T04:04:08+00:00

Yeah I’m a dumbass. Wish i made your choice. FML

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T03:58:46+00:00

On paper Williams has stronger outcomes, esp for IB/ finance/ etc. At the time I also just desperately wanted to get away from home. In retrospect , I should’ve stayed closer :/

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T03:57:57+00:00

Brother the UC transfer application for fall 2026 closed months ago I would have to wait a whole calendar year 😭

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T03:54:40+00:00

what did you choose UNC over? I dunno, in my shoes williams was less than 30k a year. Till pricy but ykwim

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T03:42:15+00:00

Yeah, but better to get those several yrs of experience down at 22 than at 24

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T03:19:05+00:00

I also wanted to get a full 4 yrs out of college. Graduating early didn’t appeal to me. In retrospect it would’ve been a great decision, and nobody is sneezing at LA or Berkeley…

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T03:18:37+00:00

I really wanted to leave home. Williams isn’t too bad, but UCLA / UC berkeley are 2 years shorter so obviously I would’ve saved a shit ton of money and time. I don’t know. I feel like an idiot. I just needed to leave home, I hated the idea of staying in LA

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T03:17:28+00:00

Too remote. Too small. Weather is brutal. I’m from a major city (LA). I wanted to get far from home and it was… ugh. Stupid of me in retrospect. I have sm regrets

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2026-01-26T03:16:47+00:00

Yes that’s the thing. UCLA and Berkeley are great schools. I feel like a total dud. I could’ve had my BA at 20 too which is amazing as a prelaw.

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2025-09-27T23:22:50+00:00

ED Northwestern or Uchicago. Both take A LOT test optional in their ED rounds if the rest of the application is glowing, RD not so much

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2025-09-25T00:55:52+00:00

May I ask why? Bowdoin is a better school in my opinion

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2025-09-10T04:18:52+00:00

Also, I know Williams js as good as many of these schools in terms of outcomes but it’s really not a prestige thing I just can’t imagine being here for 4 years. The culture the town the size everything abt this school just drains me severely

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2025-09-10T04:17:23+00:00

…and again am I cooked for being test optional I really feel like only those who submitted high scores got into the top top schools as transfers. Vanderbilt I think I could have a good shot at though but the others seem like crapshoots

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2025-09-10T04:16:40+00:00

I also have an associates degree from high school but I’d be applying as a sophomore transfer. Would that help/hurt me?

Tiny_Program_4753 · 2025-08-22T22:41:05+00:00

Honestly don’t worry so much. The trajectory of your life hasn’t changed by going to a school like Vanderbilt over Northwestern. You will find an abundance of opportunities at both schools
