Weird Transfer Situation

<p>Could someone fill me in on a weird situation?</p>

<p>So I've been reading other people's posts and it seems as if getting Gen. Ed's out of the way seems to be a big thing for transfers getting into UMD. I haven't taken any English Comp courses yet but I have taken a few Eng. Lit. courses in college and got a 5 on the AP Eng. Lit. exam in high school.</p>

<p>I transferred once from University of Maryland- Baltimore County (3.825 GPA) to Boston University (2.9 GPA) so I'm trying to get in as a junior. I am also in AFROTC which I have mentioned in my essays as my career goals (to be an Air Force officer). I also explained how my financial situation lead me to transfer from Boston. I am also an in-state resident.</p>

<p>how do my chances seem? I applied around 3/31. </p>

<p>also, does anyone know how easy it would be to find walking distance housing mid-June?</p>

<p>I transferred and got in, as an in-state. When I applied, I was in the process of completing a basic statistics class, but they delayed my admittance until that grade was posted. What they told me is that as long as you have basic English and basic math completed, they will definitely look at your application.</p>

<p>And you seem qualified, so I wouldn’t be too worried. </p>

<p>As for housing, because I didn’t get my admissions notification until mid summer, I signed a lease in one of the high rise apartments right off campus a few days before the semester started. There are a bunch of places opening up though, so I think housing should be easy to find. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice. I’m just worried that they’ll think the classes I’ve taken will look like filler though.</p>
