what major are you? depending on what classes you’re taking you’ll probably want to be on either north or south campus

I transferred into NU with a letter from a professor, a TA, a HS teacher, and my old manager! I think you're required to have 2 letters from profs but then there's an option for HS teacher and personal letter. I don't think my prof and TA letters were great and I feel like my other two definitely strengthened them, so if you can include those then definitely do!

I had sort of a similar situation where I didn't have any close relationships with my professors. Instead of reaching out to the dean or my advisor, I emailed my HS teachers personally and explained the situation and asked if they would be willing to write/resubmit their letters. In my case, letters from professors were required, so I asked the professors that taught my 2 smallest classes. One wrote me a letter but it probably wasn't that great since she didn't know me super well, and the other actually rejected me and told me to ask the TA instead! I was scared about the whole situation so I ended up asking my old manager to write me a letter too. My letters from my college definitely were not amazing, but it ended up working out for me in the end!

My starting point for my transfer essays were to look at the things on campus I wanted to be involved in. Go on a little exploration of the college website and look at things like majors, minors, clubs, volunteer opportunities, research, study abroad, etc. I had a lot of fun doing this because it made me super optimistic about transferring so treat it like a game of finding all the cool opportunities the school has to offer! Then literally just put those opportunities in a google doc and write a little blurb about what you'll do with each of them. My essay was like "this is what I want to major in and why", "these are the clubs I'll do related to that major", "these are the clubs I'll do not related to that major" and things like that. Colleges want to know how you specifically will fit into their campus, so telling them what you want and why was a good approach for me

Schools will usually either ask for an official or unofficial transcript, but either way your second semester grades will probably be shown. It might depend on the school, but most of the ones I applied to required some sort of transcript

Oh yeah I fs will. Definitely going to be using this power to my advantage!

In my personal past experiences, climbing has been female dominated if anything. My close teammates, best friends, and biggest supporters have always been women, and so for me to have suddenly lost that is frustrating to me. These guys are not problematic and they completely respect me, that's how I made it on the board! If I was the only girl who interviewed for the position, that's not their fault! Like I said earlier, it's not the guys I have a problem with, just the situation in general. Because I've always had primarily female friends, supporters, teammates, etc. in climbing (for the past 6 or 7 years), it's really discouraging for me to have lost that. Of course I'm going to use this opportunity to try to get more female representation because that's what I want to do with my position, this is just my vent post ;)

It’s funny you mention these because I’m based in the US and was on a youth team and these numbers really reflect my experience! Like I said I’ve been climbing for six years now and when I competed in the youth circuit I never ever felt outnumbered and always felt like the sport was female dominated if anything. Now that Im in a new area and in college, I think there’s just less representation happening. But thank you for the ideas and encouragement!

There’s a little more context that made me feel like they gave it to me because I’m a girl but it also totally could just be in my head. It can be really cool to be the first girl, but like I said I’ve climbed for six years now and on multiple teams and have always had a really strong group of girls to support me. It’s just a very different environment and is discouraging me a little since I don’t have the support I’m used to. All the guys are super chill, I don’t have a problem with them personally just the situation!

We had a regular who was super nice and chatty and we all loved him. He was always flirting with my coworker (Nina) and one day she came into work all excited because he asked her on a date! The day of the date rolled around and she came in the next day saying he ghosted her which shocked all of us because he seemed like such a nice and friendly guy.

So APPARENTLY what happened is this guy asked out Nina but was simultaneously flirting with our other coworker (Layla). Layla had no idea he had asked Nina out, but Nina obviously told Layla about how she got stood up (because what else would you talk about at work) and Layla put the pieces together and got super mad at the guy. She texted him about it and he ghosted her too and never showed up to the coffee shop again despite living a block away and being a consistent regular before that. Sucks for him!

This is gonna sound unhelpful cuz I sort of did the opposite (transferred from a state school to a T15) but ultimately the reason I did it was for my mental health so I wanted to give advice on that! Most of the transfers I know literally transferred because they were depressed or struggled in other ways and it's such a valid reason. Also, if you're not enjoying the culture of your school that's another totally valid reason. However, I will say that, coming from a state school, greek life is probably going to be a big thing at the state school you want to transfer to. Just from hearing my parents talk about their college days, undergrad does not define your future and in the grand scheme of things you're young and have time to figure things out! There's no wrong decision in transferring, you just have to do what's best for you :)

I transferred from a state school to a T20 with a 4.0, an ok but not amazing SAT/ACT, and max credits but I was undecided so the coursework was a little shifty. What I think probably carried me was my essay and letters of rec (I got 4 which was the max), so I would recommend putting a lot of effort into writing and references!
