Top 1/3 at GULC. 1/3 scholarship. Any value gained or even possibility of transferring?

OP here

Mostly considering a move to Chicago for the benefit of SO being closer to family. Would top 1/3 be enough for ED U Chicago? What would it take to regular transfer? What about NW? Would a transfer to one of those schools + SO be a strong enough argument to establish connections to Chicago at OCI?

Likely competitive for ED or RD at UChi. In at NU.

Moving for a fiance is a good why Chicago answer IMO, but I wouldn't say "girlfriend/boyfriend" in an interview personally.

Most were either from New York and wanted to be closer to home, or transferred because they wanted to expand their access to the NYC market. That's probably a good reason to consider transferring. I think all of them that were going for firm jobs were successful at early interview week.

Very few downsides to transferring up to HYS, I'm guessing, if you get in.
