Transfer

<p>I am hoping to transfer to the art school at Wash U for fall 2007. What does Wash U require from transfer students? Any Suggestions/ Advice?</p>

<p>Hi there, I'm transferring into WUSTL CAS this fall. I found this link on WUSTL's website, you might find it informative. I think the big thing for people applying to the Art school is the portfolio, which is mentioned under "Transfer Instructions." Here is the link <a href="http://admissions.wustl.edu/admissions/ua.nsf/3rd%20Level%20Pages_Applications_Transfer_transfer.htm?OpenPage&charset=iso-8859-1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.wustl.edu/admissions/ua.nsf/3rd%20Level%20Pages_Applications_Transfer_transfer.htm?OpenPage&charset=iso-8859-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thanks, Where did you transfer from? What was your major?</p>

<p>I transferred from Western Illinois University. There I was a Geography major, but since WashU doesn't offer that, I went with Anthropology.</p>

<p>Do you know if Wash U gives any scholarships for transfer Students? Are you getting any aid?</p>

<p>Yeah, they do, but you have to be from two year colleges.</p>

<p>According to official policy, there are only scholarships for transfers who are from St. Louis Comm. Colleges and members of an honor society at community colleges. However, I believe there was someone on CC who applied to WashU as a transfer and said they received a scholarship. I'm not sure what their particular situation was. As for me, I am only receiving a loan, as my parents make "too much money."</p>

<p>Uch, I am afraid that they are just going to give me a loan too, if I transfer. I just want real money for them to give me-that I will not have to pay back!</p>

<p>Are test scores from High school just as important for transfers as they are for freshmen, or is it more about the grades?</p>

<p>My personal opinion is that it depends on your year in college when transferring. I think that if you're transferring after your sophomore year that admissions will look more at your college grades than HS stats. However, if you're transferring after your freshman year I think they take into account your HS stats more, especially if you've only had one semester of college work.</p>

<p>Kjanebarnum- What will you be entering Washu as? Soph/Junior? What kind of stats did you have?</p>

<p>I'll be entering as a junior. I had a 3.75 in HS with a 30 on the ACT and a 4.0 in college when I applied.</p>
