Hi I just desperately wanted to know if transferring from Penn State Erie to Purdue West Lafayette is easier than transferring from Purdue Calumet to Purdue West Lafayette. (provided I get an amazing GPA and achieve all credits).
Also how probable is the possibility of transferring to a college like Georgia Tech or UI Urbana Champaign from a campus like Penn State?
Thank You
I VERY much doubt it’s easier to transfer from an OOS directional U (Erie) to a campus than an in-state directional (Calumet). As far as GT and UIUC there will be the same issues. What exactly are you trying to do and how much will it cost you? Are you in-state for any of those schools?
Are you in engineering? Then it’s enormously easier to stay on track with Purdue CoE from Calumet than an outside school – even one of great reputation like PSU.
Get a good CC GPA and you can transfer to many state schools.
I’m an international applicant. I am an engineering student yes.
Also do you guys have any advice on what is a better idea?
Transferring from Penn State Erie to Penn State University Park (70% of people do it apparently)
OR
Transferring from Purdue Calumet to Purdue West Lafayette (not exactly sure what the rate of people transferring is)
Some people I’ve asked claim that Purdue is better for engineering, so you should be heading there. But then there is also the risk of not being able to transfer to the main campus successfully.
Others say that Penn State is Public Ivy league and is ranked by wall street journal as the #1 Job Recruiter.
Which is better?
