Transfer questions -from CC to CMC

Colleges and Universities A-Z Claremont McKenna College

<p>I'm currently going to a community college outside of California, and CMC is my no. 1 choice for a transfer school. I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about transfer admissions and what components matter the most? For starters, I noticed that they do not require me to send an ACT/SAT score since I am going to a cc which didn't require one for admissions. I have a pretty high GPA (3.9), am involved on campus (school newspaper editor) and got into an "honor society" which I thought was not really worth my time, but it may give me a little boost in apps or resumes. Also, I am wondering how much leverage a coach at CMC has in admissions...</p>

<p>I am interested in their econ-accounting/financial economics and international relations programs. Since those majors are in the field that CMC is known for, does it mean that admissions will be tougher, especially for a transfer student? What do I need to nail to have a good chance of gaining admission? How hard is it to transfer here? Any insight would be appreciated!</p>

<p>I don’t know the answers to all your questions, but I can tell you the econ-accounting/ financial economics and international relations programs are excellent. I don’t think you will find another liberal arts school with equivalent programs. As for coaches having leverage with admissions, I think depending on the sport and how good an athlete you are, the coach can be very helpful. Contact the coach and show him film or some other evidence of your athletic skills; you have nothing to lose.</p>
