So I will keep this short. I got accepted to DU (University of Denver) for the winter,2014 quarter. They are offering my 10k plus a Peace Corps fellowship. This is big for me with out a doubt. The problem is that I have not had a chance to hear back from my"dream schools" of American and GW and will not until March/April, well after the start of the winter quarter at DU. Sooo I was wondering, other than possiblitiy of loosing out on 13 k for a wasted quarter, what are the downsides to transferring after my first quarter if I got accepted to GW or American? Will GW or American care that I took a quarter somewhere else? Just trying to figure this all out. Thanks!
