<p>Alright, so.. UConn, Storrs was my top choice and I was admitted to a branch. I had high hopes of getting the full college experience by living on campus so part of me doesn't want to stay home and commute to the branch. I was also accepted to Eastern Connecticut State University and I was wondering if I could attend there for a year and transfer to Storrs? I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this before</p>
<p>Same exact position as you last year. Wanted UConn Storrs got Branched. I went to another college and I was just accepted to Storrs as a transfer so Ill be going in the fall. It is much easier to get in as a transfer. Everything will work out in the end</p>
<p>Any other questions you can ask me because I just got done with the whole process</p>
<p>If I could give you some advice I think you should go to Eastern if you wanna have the college experience. Also because since Eastern and UConn are both states schools you will have a much easier time transferring credits over. The only thing about going to a branch is that they make you wait at least 2 years before you can go to Storrs. But if you do well your first semester at Eastern and apply to Storrs for the Fall of 2015 you should have a very good chance.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!! That was super helpful! UConn has been my dream school and Avery Point is a really nice campus, I just don’t see myself staying in the town I’m living in for another whole two years. I’m going to visit Eastern soon and see if I can manage there for a year and try again for Storrs!
Thanks again :)</p>
<p>Go for it dude. I know how you’re feeling right now because I went through it last year and it sucks. But now its all water under the bridge because I got in. Make sure you do really well your first semester because thats what UConn will look at. Wish you the best of luck for next year!</p>
<p>What was your GPA when you applied to be transferred? If you don’t mind me asking 
I’ll most definitely go for it! Good luck starting at Storrs this fall!!!</p>
<p>I got a 3.2 at the college I was at. I think anything over a 3.0 for you in good courses should be fine. I just applied undecided because I want to apply to the business school for my junior year. The cutoff to apply to the business school was a 3.3 so i just missed it</p>
<p>Ohhh! Hopefully I can manage that at Eastern haha. I wish you good luck up at UConn and getting into the business school next year! Thanks for all the help!</p>
<p>No problem man good luck at Eastern</p>
