Should I transfer?
I just started my freshman year at Pace. I am a finance major and am on the swim team. I have had a great time so far my roommates are great and the team is very fun and inclusive. I like it here, but think I could do better academically.
I am from an upper mid class family not from ny. We do not qualify for much fafsa, but do not have the funds to pay full tuition. I got 40,500 yearly scholarship from pace with academic and swim included, academic being most of that number. If I keep at 3.7+ this semester, what kind of academic aid could I get from Fordham as a transfer?
Also I would like to ask for opinions on if this transfer is worth it. I love swimming and if I transfer I would not be swimming for Fordham. I think I’d be okay with this because although it’s been a big part of my life, I do not plan on swimming taking me anywhere career wise. I would also take any opinions on how much better Fordham finance is than Pace. To my knowledge it is quite good for a non target school.
All advice and opinions are much appreciated.
