<p>S got accepted to College of Arts and Humanities, though he applied to Smith School of Business. He was also accepted to the Global Communities program. Does anyone know the average GPA of those who transfer internally into the B school? I hear it is quite competitive. Thanks!</p>

<p>Guys, don’t feel “slighted” for not getting into honors (if you didn’t). Scholars is a great program too. Maryland is known for its Living & Learning Communities. It’s definitely something to be proud of.</p>

<p>Golfmommy, if your child was admitted to the business school then it was a direct admit. If child was admitted to Letters and Sciences despite having applied to the business school, then child was not admitted to business. He or she will have to transfer in. You can see the transfer info in a post made earlier by maryversity in this thread.</p>

278

<p>I found that info. I’m not liking this new search function, but here the transfer info is:</p>

<p>I’m just copying from something maryversity put up. If it’s wrong, cast aspersions in her direction ;+)</p>
