#transfer application

So today it hit me that I have an entire year with no plans except transfer applications.

I’m about 5 days away from finishing a pretty hellish internship (that literally gave me hives) and am just not ready to dive into another one especially one that doesn’t pay. I am planning to take at least one class in the fall semester but selection is slim as a non matriculated student. The third option is to get a job but I’m nervous about working in a state with no mask mandate and don’t have a car to get me there. The fourth option, I suppose, is travel but no one wants Americans right now and I don’t blame them.

I realize that it is a privilege to be able to do virtually nothing for a year.

As uncool as I think introductions are, I’m in a rather non-traditional situation and I thought I should explain

My name is Sophie, I currently live in eastern Vermont, and I was previously a college sophomore.

I had some difficult luck applying to college my first time due to (most likely but honestyly no one really knows) very average test scores in a pretty competitive year. I ended up and a school that I initially really liked but turned out not to be the greatest fit.

Corona brought with it not only a big switch up in the function on nearly every college in America but also a large decrease in my financial aid package. While the world is still a mess and my parents still let me live at home I’ve decided to take the year off and apply as a junior transfer (maybe sophomore because I went to a school with very few academic requirements) to begin fall 2021.

I LOVED appblr as a senior in high school but noticed that there were very few people documenting the experience of a transfer applicant so I have come to fill the gap. The rest is up in the air.

Heya! 

Transfer applications go out on a rolling basis, so you’ll hear back in the order that you sent your application in. If you applied for Spring transfer, you’ll hear back before the end of December!

Best of luck! 

When I realise how little time I have left to get this application perfect...

When I think about the low transfer acceptance rate...

When I think about how much I want to transfer...'

When I remember that there is no possible way that I'll get in...

When people tell me that of course I'll get in and not to worry...

When I think about how much my best friend has helped me...

When I remember that the professor who would have written an amazing rec for me hates common app and backed out...

But overall my application got me going...
