Transfer Students

<p>awesome, me too (posted this in the UNC forum too)</p>

<p>Do i have a chance of transferring there as a junior next year? I just applied.</p>

<p>Quick stats:</p>

<p>HS- 3.8 GPA, 1370 SAT, 30 ACT, tough classes, 2 Varsity sports</p>

<p>College- Tufts, 3.3 GPA, no major yet, just doing my core requirements. 2 sports, one varisty with a letter, VP recruitment for a frat, 2 jobs, and I am a Big Brother (that volunteer thing). Grades are a little low, but I had a tough time adjusting here and I explained that.</p>

<p>Want to go to UNC for many reasons, told them that I wanted to take business classes and tufts doesnt have them (I figure thats a legit reason)</p>

<p>GA Resident, but we do own some property in NC</p>

<p>I hear UNC's business is really good (ranked 5 for undergrad) I might be applying... other than that I have no clue about it whatsoever.</p>

<p>anyone have an idea?</p>

<p>You are in, luckily UNC isn;t that hard to transfer into and Tufts is a good school. </p>

<p>My brother transferred to UNC and LOVES it.</p>

<p>I'm applying to UNC as a sophomore, although I'll only be six credits away from junior status. I'm applying from the University of Tennessee. In HS I took a lot of tough tough classes, but only one AP (the only one my school offered, hick school, oh well!). I have a 3.79 in college and two letters from two professors. I hope I get in sooooo bad. Good luck with admission!</p>

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>He had a 1310, a 3.7 in high school, and a 3.4 at Emory-Oxford (not Emory College). UNC loses its in-state quota for transfers, so its much easier to get in oos as a transfer. They have a big transfer class - almost 700 annually. Don't even worry.</p>

<p>Oh - and its seriously an amazing school, I have loved every minute I have spent visiting there.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are???</p>

<p>i hope i get in..</p>

<p>thanks slipper, did he have a lot of EC's? do you think they will take that I go to Tufts into account?</p>

11

<p>He had some really good ECs, but no big hooks. A 3.7 at my high school is really strong though so I think they looked at his high school record too. Since you were really strong in high school and a 3.3 at Tufts is very solid, I'd give you a 75% chance...UNC takes boatloads of transfers.</p>

12

<p>I like UNC too, its a great school from what I've seen and heard so far.</p>

13

<p>well its going to be a long two months. I really hope you are right slipper, I really hate Tufts and its my last chance to get out!!!</p>

14

<p>funny, I have heard that from a lot of Tufts students. Apparently the social life is the pits and there's no community, but its not exactly in the city either...the "worst of both worlds."</p>

15

<p>it is the worst. no school spirit, no social life, very depressing.</p>

16

<p>Too bad...UNC is the opposite lol! You picked an awesome school to transfer into.</p>

17

<p>i wanna visit chapel hill. everybody is saying good things about it..</p>

18

<p>to TRY to transfer in to. ahh i thought i was done with admissions anxiety two years ago when i got that letter from tufts.</p>

19

<p>does sending in recs help you get in? It doesnt say anything about them on the application.</p>

20

<p>do we all have to wait til april 25th for a decision? this wait is killing me..</p>
