<p>Hey!</p>

<p>I am also applying to UofM for transfer (Econ major). I am from India though, and have to apply as an international student. I have heard the Econ program here is really strong. Average GPA is about 3.35 according to their website. And the average SAT score is about SAT Critical Reading: 530 / 690
SAT Math: 600 / 720
SAT Writing: 540 / 660
According to this site- [University</a> of Minnesota Profile - ACT Scores and Admissions Data for the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities](<a href=“http://collegeapps.about.com/od/collegeprofiles/p/U_Minnesota.htm]University”>University of Minnesota: Acceptance Rate, SAT/ACT Scores)</p>

<p>So have you already applied? And what is your profile like?</p>

<p>There are 4 econ majors at the U of MN. BA, BS, Quantitative Emphasis (BA) and Applied (BS) over at the Ag school. (and there might even be something econ based over at Carlson)</p>

<p>so in general, are undergrads allowed to do economic research?</p>

For transfer students, they go off your college GPA more than anything else. You will need to look up the prerequisites for electrical engineering and make sure that you have met the GPA minimum to be admitted to the major (usually a 3.2 for engineering so you will need to work with UMN to understand how your grades translate to that scale). You will also need to know whether you can transfer into a major or is there a waiting period once you enroll at CSE. That’s pretty much all I would know. CSE takes in about 300 new transfers per year, according to their statistics.

Good luck!

Do they review international transfer students in the same way as they review US resident transfer student ??
