Would I ruin my life if I transfer colleges?
Currently, I am a freshman at Mount Holyoke College.
Due to a change in my family’s financial situation, I will have to transfer back home to Seattle University. (Regardless of the issues my family currently faces, they still will not milk a dime of financial aid).
I have dreamed of attending law school at Georgetown or Yale. Now, I fear that my dreams will evaporate because of this forced transfer. I am a very good student and earning a 3.8 GPA with a very challenging curriculum and I participate in a fair amount of activities.
I would like to specialize my law degree in business and finance or perhaps international law (I’m not sure as of yet, but I’m only 18).
What do you think? From your professional perspective, do you think I am in trouble and have ruined my life?
I want to be successful financially and professionally, as well as be incredibly independent and without worry. This is what I’ve been groomed for and now this horrible thing has happened. Am I over?
There are two issues that you’re not thinking about. How do you think your family feels about this??? Are they jumping for joy because you have to change your plans??? And if you want people to take you seriously than you need to act more mature and deal with what life hands you. If you can’t deal with this you’ll never make it in the rest of your life. Once you get into graduate school who cares where you went for your undergraduate degree???? You have to realize that it’s you who determines the rest of your life not where you went to school. A lot of state school are as good if not better than some of the better known schools and the people who graduate from them do as well. I would say that you have to decide if you’re an adult or a child and act like what you want other’s to treat you as.
