Transfer applicant to Wisconsin

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello Everyone. I am currently a student at the University of Miami in Florida. I am a sophomore and I am considering transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Many people think I am crazy to want that, but I have always loved the school.</p>

<p>Last year I received an overall GPA of 3.75.. 3.9 fall semester and around a 3.6 second semester. I mostly stacked up on journalism courses and graphic design courses as I am majoring in broadcast journalism and minoring in graphic design.</p>

<p>I will be entering as either a second semester sophomore or a junior, but preferably second semester sophomore. </p>

<p>What do you think my chances are? And if you have any opinions as to why Wisconsin might be better or worse, than please let me know. </p>

<p>I am aware that Miami is a great city, but I really do long for that college campus feel.</p>

<p>I dont want to take your thread in a direction that you didn’t want to go in - but I was curious (since I’m applying to both) what about Miami has you wanting to leave? It did seem rather bubble-like with no walking access to a town. I too loved Madison. Your GPA, as a transfer student, I would think, would be fine. You’re coming from a reputable college w/ a very good gpa.</p>

<p>Hey @KContennis. That’s pretty much my biggest issue. I currently live off-campus and I have found it extremely difficult to both get around and get involved ON campus. I do not currently have a vehicle, but it seems to be a necessity. Madison on the other hand is a true college campus… everything is accessible and the campus is awesome.</p>
