Spring Semester Transfer (ASAP)

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am currently attending Clark University in MA. The academics are great, but this school is way too small for me and it's depressing me. Seeing the same people everyday is getting to me, and I feel completely stuck at this school in a bad area. I also want to double major in Psychology and Biology, but doing so would take me an extra semester if I were to avoid taking Summer courses or a 5th course for the remainder of my career (I am currently a Junior). The problem is that I transferred once already, so I hope that is not frowned upon. Clark is not giving me enough financial aid so I'm on loans at the moment, which is also a problem for me.</p>

<p>That being said, I would like to transfer to MSU ASAP, preferably this upcoming Spring Semester. I e-mailed an Advisor but he said he'd forward my e-mail to someone else due to my questions being specific. I went on the application website, however, and I don't see the option to transfer during the Spring, even though I know it's possible. I know it says transfer applications are on a rolling basis, but is it too late for me? I have a friend there who says he knows people who transfered during the Spring. He said the website stuff is strict sometimes so for me to check on Monday.</p>

<p>Also, here are my stats:
GPA: 2.88
Junior (19.75 hours in total)
I'm not sure if it matters at this point, but I got a 1760 on the SAT.
I joined Student Council and am currently doing work study. I also have Summer job experience, and am Latino. I speak French, Spanish, and have taken Japanese and Chinese courses. I don't know if that would help me. </p>

<p>P.S. I want to go to MSU for grad school so that is another reason why I want to transfer. I'm looking to do Biology or Psychology, although combining them would be best (I have an interest in Genetics and Neuroscience, etc).</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>2.88 is a no. You’re not getting in. </p>

<p>And MSU is going to give you ZERO aid even if you were to get in. OOS is 40k+ a year. </p>

<p>Also, transferring to a school for undergrad because of their grad program is a terrible idea. Hell, my major (anthro) won’t even accept any MSU undergrads into their grad program.</p>

<p>Not to sound mean, but have you thought this out at all?</p>

<p>Anyone with advice? Bump.</p>
