<p>hey everyone, i’m thinking about transferring to emory for spring semester this year. i’m a sophomore in college right now.</p>
<li><p>what do i do if i want to go into the business school junior year? how will they judge me to be admitted to the business school? do i just apply to emory college and then apply for the business school when everyone else does?</p></li>
<li><p>who am i supposed to get to write the transfer student recommendation? is that like a teacher rec?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>thanks for any help!</p>
<p>thanks for the quick reply, but i'm not really sure what you are responding "yes" to for the first set of questions. i guess i need to apply to the regular college and then into the b-school (assuming i get in) later in the spring. so will my chances for the b-school be based on my current school grades + emory spring semester grades?</p>
<p>also does anyone know if there is on-campus housing for transfers?</p>
<p>sorry for the high amount of questions but i'm coming up on the deadline in a month and i only decided to definitely transfer about a day or two ago (though i've been thinking about it for a year!).</p>
<p>thanks again</p>
<p>I am not sure how this is going to work because you need to apply to the B school at the end of either Fall or Spring of your Sophomore year. Since your applying for Spring as a transfer, you ALSO need to apply to the B school.</p>
<p>** What classes have you taken at your University? ** There are 3 or 4 Pre-Requisites that need to be fulfilled before one can enter the B school; although I am sure they will waive one or two and let you take them once in.</p>
<p>Also, I would check what GERs you have fulfilled. If not many, your going to have a hard time juggling taking the Pre-Requisites, GERs, and the full Goizueta course load.</p>
<p>Give us more info. and we can help you out. I would also contact the B school ASAP and ask them about the formalities on where the application need be sent (i.e. One to the College, One to the B school; or just One to the B school as a transfer).</p>
<p>You'll apply to the B-school once you get here and complete your pre-req's. If you get accepted, just talk to Libby Egnor at the B-school and she'll answer any of your questions. You don't need to worry about pre-req's right now as an applicant.</p>
<p>Housing for transfers is based on availiability, but they really do try to put you in. I haven't heard of any transfer students who didn't get housing (if they wanted it) this year.</p>
<p>I'll try to answer whatever other questions you might have :)</p>
<p>to dell123. including this semester i have taken (in 3 semesters)--</p>
<p>microeconomics

<p>i read that grades from a transfers previous school do not transfer to emory. how will this affect my potential admission into the b-school?</p>
<p>From what Libby told me, they will accept you into the b-school once they receive your spring grades. Assuming they are acceptable and you have met your pre-reqs, you should be ok. I just honestly do not know if I want to spend a semester at the college.</p>
<p>hey, i already posted my thread.
but i'm gonna ask again.
is 3.2/3.4 GPA from GA Tech enough for Emory transfer?
i'm an Asian male with 1400/1600, 3.7/4.0, and few awards & clubs</p>
<p>so...my acceptance into the b-school will be based purely on my spring semester grades at emory? sorry, i'm still confused.</p>
<p>It will be based on your GPA from your other school, your pre-requisites, and your spring semester grades at Emory.</p>
<p>I asked this question in the admissions forum and didn't get a straight answer so hopefully you guys can help me out...</p>
<p>When Emory writes that "The average length for a short answer essay is one half of a typed page," is that single-spaced or double-spaced? I already wrote them but now I don't know if they are the right length!</p>
