<p>I am a freshman admitted by UIUC. I want to study finance in the future but I am admitted by economics in LAS. Is it possible to transfer to business school of UIUC? How about requirements?</p>
<p>One who begins at UIUC in a college other than business gets only one chance to transfer into business and that is into sophomore year and decision is made after your get grades at end of freshman year. Go here <a href=“http://admissions.illinois.edu/pdf/transfer/handbook/bus.pdf[/url]”>http://admissions.illinois.edu/pdf/transfer/handbook/bus.pdf</a> for courses you need to complete (the course lists in that handbook apply to both transfers from other universities who can attempt to do so after freshman or sophomore year and those freshman at UIUC who attempt transfer into sophomore year). </p>
<p>As to chances of successful transfer, the business college takes less than 50% of those who attempt transfer, the median freshman GPA is about 3.6 to 3.7 and having a high GPA is no guarantee of acceptance because the college does a full file review, essays and ECs are important, and it has been known to reject some with 4.0 GPAs.</p>
