Is transferring worth it? Please help!

Transfer Students

<p>Hello, all!</p>

<p>I need YOUR advice! </p>

<p>I am a current sophomore at VCU, but I plan on transferring to UVA or to the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities. My major is economics, and as of right now I have completed 38 credits. My cumulative GPA is 3.5. I'm not too concerned about transferring as I am confident that I will be able to get in to both schools. But I am unsure if it will be worth my while to transfer. </p>

<p>For instance: I would have completed all prerequisites for the UMN at Twin Cities economics program except for calculus 2. By how much will this set me back- a semester, two? In order to declare your major at UMN for econ you need to complete all prerequisites. Will it be worth, especially considering that it is a top 15 econ undergraduate program?</p>

<p>Thanks for your time. </p>

<p>Also, if you know any good scholarships to apply for for undergrad transfer students, it would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure undergraduate economics courses at the University of Minnesota are taught primarily by graduate students. I’m not sure if that factors in your decision, but it did for me.</p>

<p>I take it that you didnt end up attending UMN-TC. What decision did you go with?</p>
