I just got in as a transfer to LSA, so I can offer some advice. I always tell people to make sure their credits will transfer, I feel it goes a long way with admissions. In addition to that, just try to get a 4.0, join an academic club or organization and make some friends. If UCONN is anything like Auburn (the school I went to freshman year), opportunities will fall into your lap as long as you grab them. Is there a freshman writing contest? Enter it. Are there events in your clubs you can get involved with or plan? Plan them. If something sounds interesting, then do it! But don’t forget to have fun. If you’re actually excited about what you’re doing, then it will come out in your essays. I asked admissions at the very beginning what they recommended and they said that you should plan to spend one full year at your school. Apply by the feb 1 deadline (or what ever it is this year, they don’t have early admission for transfers) and try your hardest!
