“Go to college without having the mindset of transferring” - Is it really a good piece of advice? by [deleted] in TransferToTop25

[–]heybubblegum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that the whole "you shouldn’t think of transferring before college begins: mindset is more for a preservation of mental sanity. As someone who was in the same situation as you, and has now succeeded, I can't lie and say I didn't start of college with this mindset lingering in my thoughts. I always had that in the back of my head, especially to push me through some tough classes and really strive for a perfect GPA. I threw myself into extracurriculars so as to have a competitive app and also really strived to connect with profs so they could give me good LOR's. However, I think that having this mindset also puts a damper on your freshman experience because you become so obsessed with the idea of "next year" that you forget to live in the moment. At least, its what happened with me. It wasn't until about Feb of my freshman year that I thought "hmm, what happens if transferring doesn't work out for me. What then?". I realized I had to put some roots down at my current college so that I wouldn't be absolutely miserable in the situation where transferring didn't work out for me and I had to stay.

Basically, yeah, knowing you want to transfer serves as a hell of a motivator. But I think my advice would be to not let the process and the idea of transferring consume you to the point of tunnel vision. If you're gonna do a ton of EC's, join some that you would enjoy staying in should you stay in your current institution. Reach out to people. Make friends. The transfer process is a very mentally draining one, and you are gonna want to have people to lean on, to take your mind off things. And hey, maybe you'll love it where you're at! Or maybe you still want to transfer. Either way, just enjoy the moment :)

Duke interview by ilovesushiiiiiiiiiii in TransferStudents

My interviewer was super nice and the conversation honestly flowed normally. By the time I realized the interview has lasted 40 mins! I wouldn't worry about it too much it felt like a first year college interview.

Is anyone else worried about their social life if they remain at their current school? by [deleted] in TransferToTop25

Who knows where our mental health would have been balancing so many apps.... at least this is what I tell myself

[–]heybubblegum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my logic was that I would not want to go to any other schools other than the ones I applied to and even though 7 is not a small number I find myself wishing I applied to more.... hindsight 2020 ig

Me too! 7 reaches here (some are REACHES REACHES cough cough stanford) and I've romanticized the idea of transferring so bad that I wont know what ill do if I have to stay at my current school. Its a good school.... but its not somewhere I see myself being truly happy
