<p>I am looking to transfer for the spring semester (as a freshman) from U Maryland College Park.. I think the school has more what I am looking for in terms of atmosphere/smaller size/location (I'm from New England). </p>
<p>That being said, I am a freshman, and the deadline is November 1st. Therefore, I won't have any sort of first semester grades for them to evaluate me on. I already sent my high school transcript and everything else (3.91 GPA, 1920 SAT- I got accepted to UVM last year but they start fresh every year with records and such, plus this is a transfer into the Agricultural and Life Sciences school so it's probably more challenging).</p>
<p>Giving that I don't have these grades available for them at the time, do I still stand a good chance? Any feedback :)?</p>
<p>-Also, being a spring transfer and trying to get into core science classes... would it be unlikely to get into the ones I need? I'm assuming I'll be registering after everything has been filled up basically, I know at a big school like UMD that gets to be a problem so I don't know how it is at UVM
-Chances of on campus housing? Freshman housing in particular?
(also granted I am accepted, of course)</p>
<p>Given your stats and previous admit I think you should not have a problem, especially as UVM loves OOS student $. Ag school (where my D is) is actually less competitive than arts and sciences. I doubt getting into big core sciences will be an issue, but your choice of smaller electives may be limited.</p>
<p>Students are required to live on campus first 2 years so that is not an issue except for the reasonably likely possibility that you will be tripled.</p>
<p>Best advice I can offer is to talk with your regional representative in the admissions office. They are there to help you. Good luck.</p>
<p>My son got into UVM as a sophomore transfer student this past summer. He was going to transfer from U of Wisconsin Madison. In the end he decided not to for a variety of reasons.
The main one was that the UVM said that they would not have any housing for transfer students. So, my son, not knowing anybody, would have to live off campus with no other sophomores or freshman. And they admittedly said that housing in Burlington was tight.<br>
As a mother I was concerned. He would have transferred if he got housing on campus. Being a freshman may put you in a much better position.</p>
<p>Also, classes were very filled and what he needed was closed. </p>
<p>Call the housing department. Get on the waiting list.
Good luck.</p>
