Transfer Students
1

<p>Do you all have any advice?
What should be my safety school for spring 2007 admission</p>

<p>3.7 High school gpa 1310 old SAT
3.95 GPA at James Madison University one semester (A- in anthro)
One year working as a professional artist/ one semester studying art in Europe
currently at community college w/ 4.0 GPA
About a year and a half of college in all
I’m very confident about my essay but not as confident about recommendations (do any schools not require recommendations?)</p>

<p>I want to go to the best school I can get into.
Great academics and a great campus on the east coast.
I have to transfer in the Spring. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Thanks for the tip,
I’m probably applying to UVA and William and Mary
UVA is nearly impossible to get in spring semester but I have to try.
I’d love to go to Oberlin, Rice, Brown which are major reaches (Am I insane?) I’ll probably just apply to one of them I definately need a safety school
Could William and Mary be a safety? Or is something like UNC Asheville more realistic?</p>

Yes. There are some schools whose applications are all about the numbers and can be done by filling in a number of blanks on-line. Some that I am familiar with are: UMichigan, Miami of Ohio, St. Louis University, McGill. I think they are optional at Purdue. I realize these may not be schools relevant to you, but just to give you an idea. I don’t know of any master list of such schools; it’s more about lucking into finding that some of the schools on your list have this type of application.</p>

<p>W&M has a transfer acceptance rate of 46%. Not bad, but I hesitate to call it a safety. UNC-Ashville has a transfer acceptance rate of 83% and a minimum college GPA of 2.5. I think that would make it pretty darn safe for you.</p>

<p>yeah… i agree with w&m</p>

<p>UNC - CH is a safety for you…you don’t need to resort to Ashville.</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks for the info on recommendations jmmom
I don’t think UNC CH accepts spring transfers unfortunately
Is there anything between W&Mary and UNC?
Any more suggestions?
Thanks so much for your help</p>

<p>check collegeboard.com and see if you can just have them identify schools that allow spring transfers…i’m not sure if they get that detailed, but that may be helpful. I think most ppl would like to help more but there just aren’t that many schools that take spring transfers.</p>

<p>OSU, UW Madison, Purdue</p>
