Is it even worth transferring freshman year to a better college in light of accelerated recruiting?

Hello all,

I was waitlisted to most of the ivy leagues/t10 schools and I didn't get off the waitlist for many except Cornell's Guaranteed transfer into AEM.(I have to attend school somewhere else first). I'm currently enrolled at a Boston College. (I am also kind of salty since this year was so hard to get into any school and I def felt the other end of the admission cycle)


My question is: is it even worth transferring since recruiting is now so early? I kinda want a top job post-graduation, and IDK if BC has that type of resource compared to cornell

 

I mean I would take the Cornell transfer but you can also try and shoot your shot and apply to transfer to HYPS as well for your sophomore year.

 

Do you think I would be a disadvantage for accelerated recruiting? Transferring in soph year would mean I don't have any leadership positions yet and no GPA to show from Cornell.
