<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.)
ECs: Sociology TA; Editor, Emory Undergraduate Research Journal; Research Assistant; Overhauling the Honor Code for one of Emory's Divisions; Paid Policy Internship; Chief Anti-Hazing Policy Officer for Social Clubs; Significant Appointed NC Educational Positions</p>

<p>I got in with a 3.76 with good experience for this fall. As long as you have around a 3.5 with good extra-cur. ur set. High school stats dont matter but for you send them in. the most important part is the essay/gpa. dude lets be serious you’re going to get in.</p>

<p>I would have felt silly making the thread if I hadn’t previously been rejected as an instate applicant for first-year admission. <_<</p>
