Transfering into University of Maryland College Park from UMBC

<p>I have 30 credits from UMBC so far and a 3.6 GPA. Will be applying before March 1st 2014
Was part of student government association
Played in intramural soccer and volleyball </p>

<p>Please chance me for my transfer. And would anyone recommend any back up schools I can get into? </p>

<p>I was wondering about this myself. I mean - if I was accepted to UMD and UMBC but started out at UMBC, would I be able to get into UMD as a transfer student later on? </p>

<p>jamiewong - had you applied to UMD before but didn’t get in or did you not apply to UMD originally?
Will you have had one year at UMBC or two?
May I ask why you want to trasfer out of UMBC? </p>

<p>Regarding backup schools - - can you give an idea of what area you are majoring? Without more information - I would just name schools around the area of MD (since thats where you seem to be focusing) like Towson and Goucher and Loyola… really need more info to give targeted “backup schools”. </p>

<p>Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I believe a lot of students transfer out of UMBC because of academic reasons. But don’t get me wrong, UMBC has great programs for certain fields. </p>

<p>I applied going in as a freshman but did not get in. Now I am applying after a year at UMBC to CP.</p>

<p>Majoring in Economics. </p>
