<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I was deferred from Huntsman/CAS at Penn, so now I'm opening my mind about other schools. I sumbitted my app in early December before the scholarship deadline. I have a rec from a USC medical professor with whom I worked on a research study over the summer. Is it too late to submit that? Please give me your feedback for my chances at Marshall. Please give me your feedback. Thanks!</p>

<p>Hey cc411, is there anything like the stat sheet above that you posted above (on freshmen admissions) available for transfer admissions?</p>

<p>I’m sorry- I have never been able to find a stat sheet like that for transfers. There are such diverse stats on transfer admittance- especially by school. I tend to leave transfer questions alone because I just don’t know.</p>
