<p>I'm an out of state student transferring from Massachusetts and I was wondering if the $37,000+ tuition and fees are worth it. I still haven't heard back from Umass, but i REALLY want to go to Uconn. Also I heard that you must take foreign language if you didn't take 3 years in high school(which i didn't do). Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how difficult it is to transfer to the business school? Are GPA's considered only at UConn?</p>
<p>My niece applied to UConn last year and for our family it wasn’t worth it. UConn was her first choice as well, but compared to offers from other schools it just couldn’t compare. We even put in a call to their financial aid office which I won’t elaborate into but it basically didn’t matter. Their campus is amazing. Their students seem engaged but coming from OOS we took another offer.</p>
<p>Deciding whether it is “worth it” to attend is a very personal decision. You certainly need to weigh costs and benefits. </p>
<p>As for internally transferring into the Business School: [How</a> to Apply - Current UConn Students : University of Connecticut School of Business](<a href=“http://www.business.uconn.edu/cms/p286]How”>http://www.business.uconn.edu/cms/p286)</p>
<p>I am afraid I do not understand your last question.</p>
<p>i meant that does your transfer GPA count or just the GPA you receive at Uconn</p>
<p>Both are considered, as well as your standardized test scores.</p>
<p>VERN…there is a New England program that has reciprocal In State tuition for other new england states… may be limited by major but worth it to check it out …</p>
<p>BTW it is ranked #1 public U in New England …sorry UMASS and U of V</p>
<p>Umass is known for their business school and it is highly competitive to get into even if you are in state. They are 2nd in the country to Ohio State for their Sports Management Program. If are in Mass. and you get into to their business school, the educational value is tremendous for 25K. You would have to apply early or you won’t have a shot. Good luck.</p>
<p>cckerry- it is only by major. That is only offered if there are no public schools in your state that offer it, then you may go to a public school in another state that offers your major for a reduced tuition.</p>
<p>No. This from an alum who feels that he received a very good education at a great price. But I was a Connecticut resident, I would not have paid 10,000 to 15,000 more to attend UConn if I were a Mass or Vt resident. Absloutely no difference in terms of the quality of the undergraduate education. Whether at UMass or UConn, classes, professors, other students, etc., will all be the same. What you get at UConn is a higher profile athletic program and seom newer buildings, those are the differences.</p>
<p>Also–for whatever rankings are worth, I believe that UMass’s undergraduate business school is ranked higher than UConn’s in most of the rankings, e.g., Businessweek. But, again, in terms of the quality of the undergraduate education, I believe there is no difference.</p>
