LOL, maybe not for long.

Your big is completely off base when she says transfers are known as legacies. That's like saying apples are known as shirts. They're two completely different things. The rules about accepting transfers may differ from group to group, but as someone said, even if the new chapter would HAVE to accept you, there's a chance you might not like them or vice versa.

The fact that "academics" comes up last in the list of things you're looking for at your new school doesn't bode well. If you DO go to a big school like UD or USC and you aren't doing well in your classes...it's quite likely you won't get the personal attention like you would have gotten at a smaller school. You'll be another student that flunks out, big deal.

If you wanted to be in a major that your school doesn't have, or were leaving to be closer to family, I think people might be a little more accepting of your situation, but your reasons for transferring at all (not even going into the sorority issue) seem really lame. If (as it seems) all you care about is how many parties the school has on the weekends, whether you can or cannot join another sorority is a moot point, since you'll probably flunk out anyway.

actually you are COMPELETLY wrong. im especially trying to go to a school that has MANY requirements for me to transfer there. so basically as of now i dont have a summer because all i've been doing for the past couple of weeks is going to summmer school and taking all these extra classes that are putting me way behind JUST to go to this one school. i'm in school MTWTH from 12pm-10pm. i dont think many people would waste their summer and do something like. that...they may take a class or 2 for their major, i on the other hand am not. im just simply taking classes that i dont need, but they satisify transfer requirements at that school. and i dont sound like a motivating person???? wooooowww.....
and ur right, my school doesnt really have my major..i thought it did when i first applied, but after being there a semester i realized that their program was just a joke and you cant get into any of the classes b/c they are SO tiny. and plus i found out more specifically what i want to do with my life, so i found some schools that has that subject.

Thats what i thought too, b.c i knew legacies dealt with relatives and stuff not transfer. but at the same time everyone else who go to different schools(like people at work who are in sororities) have been telling me that bunch of people get accepted. so i dont really know who to believe...

You can't be serious. Practically every college has a communications major. If they don't have communications, they probably have journalism...or PR, or English. Pick one of the above and you'll be prepared for an internship at least.

I MUST laugh at your comment about not being able to get into classes at your small college. If you're complaining now, wait until you go to that large university you're trying so hard to get into. You won't be able to get any of your top choice classes until you're a junior or senior and have the credits. Sure, the classes may have room for 700 students, but you might be competing against 39,300 other students to get one of those precious spots. GOOD LUCK.

I was thankful I had the scores to get into the honors college. All honors college people got to register before the general population, so I never had problems getting whatever...but I do know others who did...
