transfer from unranked school to wake?

Post by southernbelle3042 » Wed Jul 14, 2010 3:32 pm

Should I transfer from an unranked school to Wake Forest? I applied and got accepted last Thursday (7/8). Worried about increased debt and starting over as "the new kid."

How much is the debt? What are your career goals?

debt would go up by about 20K total for the next two years. I want to go into big to mid sized litigation in the southeast, and hopefully avoid some of the disastrous teaching experiences that I had this past year.

So only 20k total and it sounds like you're less than enamored with your current school....Enjoy wake.

Seriously, it sounds like it's a good move for you! Congratulations.

What kind of disastrous experiences did you have?

I live in the south and will attend Wake this fall as a 1L. If you want to practice in NC, Wake Forest or UNC are your best choices.
