<p>Does anyone know what the average GPA of a transfer student is? If I decide to transfer I just want to know what my competition would be.</p>
<p>Does anyone know that if I get a note from my doctor if I could get a single room? I have OCD and anxiety about far too many things. I wouldn't care where they put me and I could give up my choices of buildings. I feel ashamed even bringing it up but it is a main thing in deciding where I apply. </p>
<p>Does anyone know what financial aid is like for transfer students? Do they still try to meet need for transfer students?</p>
<p>If you transferred to Smith, what was your experience like?</p>
<p>1) no idea
2) even first-years can get singles. there are houses that have many (or only) singles, and students of all classes can get them. I’d check with housing, but a medical single shouldn’t be too unlikely with a doctor’s note.
3) Smith meets the full need of all students, but what you think you need and what Smith determines could be different (but this is the case at most schools)</p>
<p>1) Mine was a 3.94, but I’m sure they go lower than that. I know students who have been accepted in the 3.5/3.6 range, so don’t panic too much. :)</p>
<p>2) Yes, you can get a medical single, and it should actually be easier for you as a transfer. They actually have a better reputation for disability accommodations than Mount Holyoke (where I ultimately decided to go).</p>
<p>3) Like borgin said, they have their own way of measuring need using the CSS PROFILE, so your contribution might end up being more than what FAFSA said. You really won’t know until you apply, though. I would simply apply and then see how it works out. If I remember correctly, my aid offer came pretty much right after my acceptance packet, and my aid was definitely outstanding. :)</p>
