I’m an internal transfer.
I went to a community college before and then transferred to UMD and now I want to transfer to the Business School.
CC GPA: 3.77
UMD GPA: 4.0
Sales Leader at Express in running a 2.3 million store.
Member of the Accounting and Business Association
Volunteer at church which included traveling to latin American country
Worked at Wells Fargo
I now run my own payroll business
Great recommendation letters from my previous professors.
What are my chances?
@AndradeJ it is different for Engineering i just checked. Engineering it is after the semester. Business says Mid to late april or mid June. They will probably focus this week or next for internal. They seemed like they had to get the other application decisions out. Best of luck! I am transferring to a different major once I accept. So i will feel your pain! Good luck!
@KarMarc I did not have a recommendation letter and was admitted. I was told it did not hold too much weight as a transfer student if you write a decent essay.
Also, my portal says I am a non-resident, when I applied as a resident. I have lived in MD my entire life… anyone know why that is?
@CurlyLocks39 Yup it sucks that they make their internal applicants wait longer. I have my registration date for fall semester courses already coming up soon and I don’t know if I will get accepted or not so I might not be able to sign up for the classes I want before they fill up.
@AndradeJ I am an external transfer.
@orvanik Smith will not consider your application until you have a final grade for your gateway courses. See this website, last paragraph on the first page. http://lep.umd.edu/bmgt-lep.pdf. You should also verify that your courses transfer as a gateway course using the transfer matrix (https://ntst.umd.edu/tce/). Btw smith acceptance rate is about 28%. @AndradeJ see stats below:
-3.7 GPA Non-MTAPS MD CC
-3.73 expected GPA by the end of semester
-A & B in the two gateway course (B in Calc, A in Stats)
-Not many ECs (VA volunteer)
-Phi Theta Kappa
-President’s List
-2 letters of recommendation: (Business professor and business department head)
-Essay was okay, didn’t put a lot of effort in it.
-DoD intern
Did not provide HS transcript or SAT since I will have an A.S.
@sbk0021 you applied as an internal transfer right?
i didn’t get an email from the university saying that i had a decision ready but i got one from the music school saying i got in! i eventually checked my portal and it told me i was in
@AndradeJ I am an external transfer from a non-MTAP community college.
@sbk0021 Im confused about the gateway courses. I have completed the equivalents of bmgt220 and math120. But according to that second link you sent me my CC does not have an equivalency for BMGT 230 or 231
@DragonFire16 I’m coming from an out of state CC with 61 credits. 3.94 GPA. I submitted the optional recommendation and I think my essay was decent. I didn’t submit my high school stats and I didn’t submit any test scores.
@DragonFire16 would you mind positing your stats? It would be cool to know a transfer in the same major!
@orvanik my college didn’t offer an equivalency for that class either. I sat with a pre-transfer advisor at UMD and she said that a math level statistics (not the business version) will satisfy the requirement.
@orvanik what school are you coming from?
havent received a decision yet 
@andradej @sbk0021 I’m coming from Carroll community college and have taken their normal statclass. I think I will call tomorrow and try to speak with an advisor to get my decisions on the Lep figured out
what was the course from CC that you said doesn’t transfer to BMGT 230? @orvanik
@patrickbritt 15 Credits completed at a 4 year with a 3.4 GPA. 12 in progress at a MD community college. Solid resume. Member of a few clubs and D3 athlete. 1140 two part SAT (old). Decent high school grades but took a sharp upward turn my junior and senior year.
