<p>Obviously, you can get good grades. But, what else can you do to make yourself a stronger applicant? Will listing clubs you are involved with at your current college help make someone a stronger applicant? Please help</p>
<p>EC’s/work experience that relates to your major.</p>
<p>does being involved in clubs really help in the transfer admissions though?</p>
<p>It depends on the school you’re transferring to and what you do in the club. Some colleges care about what you do beyond academics, others are more number driven. Just being a member of a club many not do much, but being a leader or being able to cite performing a large role in club achievements is much better.</p>
<p>Do transfer applications normally have a resume section?</p>
<p>Please help me</p>
<p>@snizzle. Not necessarily. Colleges/universities, especially more selective schools, want to see that you have outside interests that are outside your area of study. That can mean passion for an instrument, the arts, even an outside academic interest. For instance I am a business major, I’m applying to Cornell’s ILR for the fall of 2011, but I have always been extremely interested by Psychology, and Math, so I started an independent research project about Asperger’s. As well as joining my CC’s math club. I also plan on mentioning that I give guitar lessons on a weekly basis. </p>
<p>You want stuff that is going to set you apart from people who are applying to that same program, not stuff that is gonna make you blend in. Hell, even a part/full time job is a great thing to put on an app. </p>
<p>@OP, Yeah most have a resume section, especially if your using the common app.</p>
<p>thanks so much. Do you know how difficult it is for someone to transfer to an in-state university with a sub 3.0 GPA for the sophomore level even though they have many extracurriculars to make up for low grades?</p>
