When should I transfer?

School has been In session for a little over a month and you are considering transferring already? Have you invested ANY time in making UMD CP a wonderful experience, or is your focus on getting out of UMD only? I know you say you are doing both…but really?

Re:transferring

Did you apply to Georgetown as a high school senior, and not get accepted?

If you apply to transfer to start at the beginning of your sophomore college year, your high school record will be what is used to determine acceptance or not…because simply put….you won’t have a college record to submit.

Do you have an SAT or ACT score? From the GT website:

  1. Standardized Tests

All applicants are required to take the SAT or the ACT. Both tests are acceptable, and on neither test will a Writing component be utilized in admissions decisions. All tests should be taken by January of the senior year in order to allow time for the results to reach Georgetown by early February. We continue to recommend that students who have A.P. (Advanced Placement) scores submit them to supplement their admissions file.

The University requires that all scores from standardized tests be submitted directly from the testing agency; please indicate Georgetown’s code number when requesting score reports (SAT code 5244; ACT code 0668).

It is important to note that, while objective test results provide important information about candidates, the Committee on Admissions is far more concerned with school record, academic program, and rank in class than with test scores. There are no cut-off scores.
