I’m currently a freshman at Providence College looking to transfer for next fall. I was accepted into Isenberg during senior year of high school but chose to attend PC instead. Now that I’m at school I realize I want a larger school with more going on, and due to PC’s smaller size there just isn’t as much action. The core curriculum of PC is too much as well since I want the freedom to take different classes that the many required PC core classes don’t allow me to do. The biggest reason for my need to transfer is financial. It’s not that I cannot afford PC, because with scholarship and other aid I can come out of PC with very few loans, but it’s more that I feel like I’m slowly watching all my money go into sports teams and new buildings and things I don’t really care about. Going to UMass would give me so much more financial stability when I graduate. I also love the business oriented program Isenberg offers. What are my chances of being able to transfer to Isenberg next year? I know it’s extremely difficult to transfer into the business program, but would they be willing to offer me admission again as a sophomore? Here is some info about me:
-SAT 1930- Reading 650, Math 580, Writing 700
-ACT 27
-Accounting Major, Spanish Minor
-Part of the Accounting Association at PC
-Member of the National Honor Society, Tri-M Music Honor Society, National Business Honor Society (In high school)
-MA resident
-5 AP classes, all honors classes (In high school)
Any thoughts about my chance at a transfer application would be awesome, thank you.
The average GPA to transfer into Isenberg is a 3.7; they also have a pretty specific list of classes they want transfers to have (a good friend of mine is trying to transfer in). I’d call, they’ll tell you what you need.
