I’m a freshman at Loyola U Maryland and want to transfer to Grinnell next year. My questions are:

– How hard is it? Like what GPA would I need as a transfer student? What do you recommend I do next year at Loyola to ensure that I have a good shot at getting in here?

– I know the transfer deadline is April 1st, but my spring semester doesn’t end until May…so would I just send in my spring grades late? Is there a disadvantage?

– I’m an English/Philosophy major. I’m a guy. I love books and I really don’t like partying or sports (which is sort of why I don’t want to go to Loyola). Is Grinnell a good match for me?
