<p>I was admitted to spring 2012, undecided, and waitlisted for fall 2011. I am planning on going to UMD, however I am worried that I won’t get into the Robert H. Smith School of Business as an internal transfer. I know its highly competitive and so I am wondering on how competitive it is to get into the school as an internal transfer?</p>
<p>Just get high grades and it will solve all your problems. A business degree won’t get you very far. Today you need a graduate degree, don’t worry perform and everything will fall into place. Go to the best school where you will get the highest grades and enjoy.</p>
<p>A Master’s degree in anything will get you far and I am aware of that. I’m planning on getting my MBA after obtaining a degree in Accounting at the Robert H. Smith School of Business. I mean if it’s just grades that I have to worry about getting in to the school I will work my butt off.</p>
<p>The best plan you can have for yourself is to work your butt off for the grades, and to establish good relationships with your business-related professors. UMD internal transfers into LEPs seem to be heavily related to your GPA and any recs from professors can certainly help your cause as well. You should also enjoy the new world that being a college student entails, but you can’t underestimate how many doors open to you when you come out of your freshman/sophomore years with a high GPA. Good luck—you’ll do fine!</p>
<p>Work really hard on your grades. Get some internships/jobs, make friends with your professors at the business school (esp. so that you can get a recommendation letter), and join some clubs. It’s not impossible, just gotta work hard.</p>
<p>Did you apply to the Smith School and didn’t get accepted or did you just not apply to it? If you didn’t apply but want to, there may be a way. Things may have changed from two years ago, but back then I found out that you can change the school you apply to up to the day before you actually start classes. Of course, you have to be accepted</p>
<p>It will be an extremely hard process. Impossible though, probably not. The big question: do you think you have the self-discipline to do well given many distractions (the computer, friends, parties, sports events)?</p>
