<p>Thank you in advance!!</p>
<p>I don’t know about your business school prospects, this was my experience.</p>
<p>Everyone I dealt with was very helpful. If you talk to someone who sounds very young in admissions with an important question, double check their answers, they are probably on work/study and are not necessarily giving you the correct information (this goes for any school).</p>
<p>You may be a junior at SUNY, but you may end up transferring in as a sophomore (like me). UMD has recently changed to a new general education program that requires some very specific things. I am coming in with an AA from Florida and have to retake some science and humanities classes as well as English I, despite A’s in both my science requirements, both my humanities, and both English I and II at my current school.</p>
<p>Their institutional merit aid also maxes out at 5k a year for OOS students, so if your budget is tight, don’t count on much more. Based on my experience, non-federal grants do not exist and Perkins loans are pretty sparse.</p>
<p>Good luck, if you have more specific questions please let me know.</p>
<p>Wow, thanks for the insight – much appreciated!</p>
<p>Do you know where I can find more information regarding their gened requirements? I want to know if mine fulfill a good portion of it, I’d rather not graduate in 2015 (unless it really has to come down to it). That’s crazy that they made you retake all of that.</p>
<p>Also, regarding their financial aid, is is their institutional need-based aid? I know there’s a UMD grant, but I’m not too sure how much is given out to transfer students each year. My budget is pretty tight so I’m trying to be conservative, but then again, for a quality education and the networking I can partake in at their business school, maybe loaning out most of my education will be worth it?</p>
<p>Thanks again; much appreciated!</p>

It’s a little confusing.</p>
<p>The biggest OOS transfer scholarship is the Presidential Transfer Scholarship, which is 5k a year for 2 years. I don’t know what you need to be competetive for it, I got it with a 3.93.</p>
<p>I am an independent student, my EFC is about 4k. They offered no grant aid and only $800/yr in Perkins loans. Perhaps there is more money available in the Fall.</p>
