Transfer from University of Rochester to Northeastern

Right now I’m at University of Rochester and I am definitely not enjoying myself. If I were to transfer, what GPA would you recommend to have? Also, right now I have about 39,000 in merit aid which I really need. Would I be able to get anything close to that at Northeastern? Thanks in advance!

Northeastern, and most other schools, do not award merit aid to transfers. Based on last spring’s decisions it seems the minimum GPA required is 3.3-3.4 to transfer in. .

Also, you are a freshman. You have only been there 2 weeks. Give Rochester a chance! What don’t you like about the school?

@TomSrOfBoston I originally chose rochester because of the academics, but now I realize that I am not happy with the social life, and would prefer to be in a city that has a lot of things going on. I would also like to be closer to home.

@TomSrOfBoston what resource are you using to see the transfer stats?

@clarinetdad16 The transfer decision thread here on CC from last spring. Look it up.

@TomSrOfBoston - so a small sample of self reported, anonymous posts on a message board?

does the school report stats?
