<p>Does anyone know how big of a role state residency plays in transfer admissions??</p>
<p>its much like freshman admission. They try to keep 2/3 IS. Which school are you applying to? If you're CAS, you'll be against the transfer agreement with VCCS.</p>
<p>so should i apply to a school other than CAS to raise my chances?? how many out of state applicants do they typically get??</p>
<p>Well, if you apply to other schools you might get in, but then youre stuck there. And if you want to enter CAS for political science, can you see yourself being a mechanical engineer? Or a nurse? Apply to the school you want to get in.
If you want numbers, check out their Historical Data page <a href="http://www.web.virginia.edu/IAAS/data_catalog/institutional/historical/admission/trans_by_residency.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.web.virginia.edu/IAAS/data_catalog/institutional/historical/admission/trans_by_residency.htm</a></p>
<p>thanks shoebox, great link.</p>
<p>those numbers dont look as dire as everyone makes them out to be...
i think ill just go for CAS out of state and take my chances.</p>
<p>You'll have a better shot for CAS OOS than any of the other schools. And no, the numbers arn't killer. And i've been talking to a dean from the e-school and he said that average numbers/GPAs do not mean too much since theres a great variety of schools that people are trying to transfer from.</p>
