<p>I am a sophomore at a CC applying to the Robins school of business. Does anyone know the transfer acceptance rate for Robins? Also, I understand UR's decisions is immaterial whether an applicant is out-of-state; however, does this "policy" apply to transfers as well?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I think I remember reading about 30 percent of transfers that applied on a college data website, though I can’t find it again.</p>
<p>Is that for the entire university of just the business school?</p>
<p>Entire University I believe.</p>
<p>You don’t apply specifically for the business school.</p>
<p>Hello all–</p>
<p>This is a bit of a confusing thread, so I hope I’ll get to the heart of your questions–I know you’ll let me know if I miss anything! </p>
<p>Starting with the first-year class that will enroll in 2010, the Business School WILL have a separate admission process (i.e. next year’s entering freshmen – NOT the ones we’re admitting right now – will have to go through this process). It will be a simple process. If you have a cumulative GPA of 2.7, and you’ve taken five specific core courses, you will be admitted. If you do not have the 2.7, there will be an appeal process, so that means that the intention is there to consider other factors with students who may miss that GPA mark and give those a chance to make their case. If you’ve got the 2.7, there is no case to make! You’ll be in! Good incentive to work hard during those first three semesters of college, I think. </p>
<p>This is all pretty darn new, so we haven’t talked yet about exactly the transfer process for those wishing to come into the B-school once this new process is in place. </p>
<p>For those of you who are hoping to transfer in before the fall of 2010 and go to the B-school, nothing is different in terms of how you will apply. If you are admitted, you’ll be welcome in the B-school too. </p>
<p>Out of state v. In state is not a factor for any admission decision, freshman or transfer. </p>
<p>Accept rate for transfers is not recorded based on what majors a student is coming into, so I have no idea what the rate would be just for those who intend to go to the Business School. Accept rates are also going to vary from year to year, semester to semester based on how much space we have available in that class year. This fall, things look quite good for transfers–we hope to enroll about 40 this fall. Other years could be and are different.</p>
<p>Thank you for answering the question UR Admissions.</p>
<p>40 spots seem rather small… I am sure the application pool for this year has gotten even more competitive considering a rise in national rankings.</p>
<p>Yes -40 does seem low! collegeboard.com says:</p>
<p>Transfer Students
Number of transfers who applied for fall term: 252
Number of transfers who were admitted for fall term: 108
Number of transfers who enrolled for fall term: 49 </p>
<p>…which seemed a little more encouraging!</p>
<p>Well I am sure UR will admit more than 40 transfers considering not 100% of admitted students will accept their spot. About 2 weeks until decisions are mailed…</p>
<p>Yes, our aim is to ENROLL about 40–we’ll have to admit at least 80-85 to get 40. I don’t know the precise numbers of applications we’ve gotten off the top if my head.</p>
<p>Thanks UR Admissions…</p>
<p>Based on previous transfer reviews, are transfer applicants enrolled in a community college at a disadvantage through the holistic admission process? Also, is it recommended to apply after receiving an associates degree–2 years, approx. 60 cr hrs?</p>
<p>the collegeboard.com number for enrolled transfers (49) is about 20% higher than the URAdmissions number (40). Probably comparing apples & oranges and just need to wait for decision day.</p>
<p>‘whereto’ did you apply before the February 15th priority deadline?</p>
<p>Yes - the appliation was in by 2/15. And you?</p>
<p>Community College transfer applicants are not at a disadvantage in our process. It does not matter to us whether a student completes an associates degree before applying or just does a year, year and a half etc. The two local area CC’s are our best “feeder” schools for transfers. Other applicants come from all sorts of 4 year universities with little pattern, and that isn’t surprising given the nature of the transfer process. It isn’t unusual for students who applied as freshmen but were wait listed apply the next year as transfers.</p>
<p>Same here, my app was completed before the deadline. </p>
<p>UR Admission, approximately how many accepted transfers are transferring from an out-of-state community college?</p>
<p>There aren’t that many applications from transfer students at out-of-state community colleges, however, I would consider that to be, if anything, an advantage to you. Not a disadvantage in any way. If you’ve done well at a CC, then you are likely to be a strong candidate. What matters most to us is that students do well wherever they are. The place where they happen to be is less important.</p>
<p>I was told that part of the transfer review is the interest level an applicant has in the University of Richmond. That being said, besides required documents, how does UR evaluate an applicants “interest?” </p>
<p>Thank you for all your help UR Admissions!</p>
<p>The best way to indicate interest is to pay attention to the details of filing a complete application :). If you are seriously interested in Richmond, it wouldn’t hurt to have had a phone conversation with us telling us of your level of interest, or a letter doing the same. If you’ve got questions, call us and that will tell us you are really doing your homework. Interest is not a formal part of the decision (other than the business about actually completing your application) but it could tip the scales if things are close.</p>
<p>Since decisions are mailed by April 15th, if accepted, the response date in May 1st (I believe). However,are transfer credit evaluation mailed within that 2-week proximity?</p>
