transfer questions

Transfer Students

<p>i had a few questions regarding transfer applications, as my brother is in that process right now.</p>

<p>first, does a 30 ACT in high school look better than a 30 ACT in college? </p>

<p>and secondly does URM status apply for transfers, as it is typically not advertised the graduating classes composition. </p>

<p>also, does a 0.4 GPA decrease in senior year look as if you are a slacker due to "senioritis"?</p>

<p>and lastly, does college courseload play a role, because a 4.0 with easy classes shouldnt be equivalent to a 4.0 with advanced classes.</p>

<p>thanks to all.</p>

<li>I suppose a 30 in HS... Did you get the same score on both sittings?</li>
<li>Better talk to the individual school.</li>
<li>Depends on where you started, I assume. But if it's above a 3.0, then I wouldn't worry too much.</li>
<li>Yes, courseload plays an important role. Schools will evaluate your grades in the context of the courseload you had.</li>
</ol>

<p>Best of luck :)</p>

<p>nate,
I would assume that if a college has an interest in building a diverse student body, that it wouldn't matter to them if a student comes in as a freshmen or a transfer. That's just my opinion though, I have no data one way or the other.</p>

<p>Affirmative Action doesn't just help freshman year! It gives you unfair advantages for transfer admission, graduate school admission, and even in the job-world career wise!</p>

<p>I'm sure race factors in to a certain extent, but I think transfer admissions are a lot more numbers/essay oriented.</p>
