<p>Anyone know anything about transferring to UMD from outside of the system i.e. from another four year university?</p>
<p>Requirements? Difficulty? Certain schools more difficult to transfer into than others? Thanks!</p>

<p>If you go to "search" at the top of the page and choose "advanced" you can look transfer in the UMD forum to find past posts on the topic.</p>
<p>I dont see any threads with stats of people accepted as transfers :/</p>
<p>Sometimes applicants are reluctant to ask admissions direct questions but it was be the simpliest way to get reliable info. Are you visiting the school? You can arrange for an interview with admissions. Even if you can't meet face to face there's nothing wrong with calling or emailing to say you're at school X now but interested in UMD and ask what sort of stats you'd need to be competitve for transfer.</p>
<p>Well there's a possibility I'll drop out of school and start over by taking classes locally at home. I'm really not sure on my plan yet.</p>
<p>If you want to transfer eventually it's a good idea to keep in mind the consequences of dropping out. It's not the end of the world but it might become an issue when you apply to schools in the future. This link might be helpful.

All the best no matter how you decide to proceed.</p>
<p>Not if I meet the deadline and no school knows I dropped out...</p>
<p>Well, there's no way that schools won't know that you graduated a year earlier than almost all of their freshman applicants. Your transcript will show your grad date. Applications ask you to list all your previous schools. Having a bumpy start at college and dropping out might not kill an application to a new school but if you lie about it and are found out schools aren't going to take that well. I think the linked page gives some really good advice. Seems to me the most important thing is to figure out what went wrong and work out how to have a better, more successful experience the second time around.</p>
<p>Then I wont go, oh well. Life goes on. I'm already in at a school near home so I'm not really worried about it. I'm more worried about what it would take to get into UMD if I wanted to. I'm not exactly failing out of school. I'm doing badly in one class and maybe two. Everything else is C+ and B+.</p>
