<p>I'm considering submitting a transfer application to start next fall as a junior. Emory doesn't really offer the major I'm looking for and the relevant departments are being significantly cut (e.g., the economics department was informed they are no longer offering a PhD program).</p>
<p>What does UNC value in transfer applicants? Is it mainly GPA? Also, if anyone here has taken courses in public policy at UNC, I'd love to hear about your experiences.</p>
<p>Current Institution: Emory
College GPA: 3.45
High School GPA: 4.2
SAT Score: 2120/2400; 1440/1600
Instate Resident--though I think this is irrelevant for transfer admissions
Direct Descendant of UNC's First Student
Previously Rejected for Freshman Admissions (Yes, I realize my life is ridiculous.)
