Andale, thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention that UCONN’s policy is that they will not evaluate credits for transfer until after the prospective student has already enrolled and paid the deposit fee. Same with financial aid, but I will contact their financial aid office to try to get more information regarding FAFSA, scholarships, etc.

As far as major field and academics, I’m currently an English major and applied to transfer into their English program. This is tough, as Marist and UCONN both have excellent English programs. UCONN has a wider selection of courses by virtue of it being a large state university. I would say though, after perusing UCONN’s course catalog, that they have more English courses that pique my interest, such as early American/colonial lit, Civil War era lit, Asian American lit, and creative writing/fiction writing courses.
