<p>Two rules to be aware of:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If at time of actual transfer (not time of applying which is the semester before transfer) you will have 60 “transferable” hours or more (meaning transfering into junior year status), then high school grades, ACT scores, and fact that you were rejected before will not be factors used in the decision. What will be critical is college grades and college courses. In that vein, it is very important that you make sure you take transferable courses (for example, a course called “College 101” does not sound like a course that will transfer). Second, you need to take those particular courses that will be needed to be admitted to the particular major and college that you will choose. To determine that you need to review what is required for any particular college or major and you can start that research here: [U&lt;/a&gt; of I Admissions: Transfer Handbook](<a href=“http://admissions.illinois.edu/apply/requirements_transfer_handbook.html]U”>Page Not Found, Illinois Undergraduate Admissions). High grades will be needed, good essays, and any college like ECs will help (for example, working during summer) Nothing is guaranteed and less than 50% of those seeking transfer get admitted.</p></li>
<li><p>If you attempt to transfer before you will have 60 transferable hours (at time of transfer), then your chances are low even if you get high grades in college. In that situation, your high school grades and test scores will be factors and a factor that will be considered against you is that you were rejected before.</p></li>
