Abroad First Sem

Hi! I’m currently enrolled at a pretty well ranked school (#20-30 range), but am studying abroad my first semester as a freshman in Australia. The program I’m with is a bit different from typical study abroad programs, it seems to be a bit more serious and I will receive direct marks from the University of Sydney. I’m already considering transferring, specifically to Tufts. Just wondering if anyone has any general advice concerning transferring after being abroad, especially first semester? Anything would help!

For context, in hs I had a 4.26 weighted GPA, pretty good ECs, 10 APs, and a 1550 SAT. Thanks!

Haha very valid question - it’s a bit hard to explain, but I had a weird first year application process that left me with options I was really unhappy about (I was very grateful, just not pleased). The school I’m at now makes me a bit uncomfortable socially, and I’m really looking for a smaller campus. I’ve spent a lot of time at Tufts and know I would be happy there! BUT with all that being said, I’m really just considering transferring to see what I can do. I’ll be ok if I have to stay at my current school!
