<p>I am currently a freshman at Boston University but would love to transfer to UNC as a sophomore. Does anyone know anything about what UNC looks for in a transfer student/what the average credentials are for an out-of-stater? Thanks in advance!!</p>
<p>they waitlisted a TON of people last year, last year it was more competitive than ever, if you can shoot for a 3.8 that helps you that much more, but ive heard bu is a very difficult school grade-wise. :(
out of state is not nearly as much of a factor for transfers as it is for freshman.
theres only two fairly short essays, so really illustrate why you need to be there and why they need you</p>
<p>thank you so much for your reply! do you think they consider the fact that BU is also a prestigious school? i heard also that they consider high school a lot, is this true?</p>
<p>for sophomore transfers they are going to use your high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores as a fairly large part of their decision. I'm trying to get in too, so it looks like we are going through this together!</p>
<p>well good luck to you also! i realize my high school grades, while good, would never have gotten me into unc as a freshman, but i'm assuming they don't have the same standards for transfer?</p>
<p>we took a decent number of transfers this year. I know 2 OOS transfers myself so just keep working and it will be so!</p>
