Chris Goodmacher replied to the topic Explaining a Bad Grade in Additional Info in the forum Four-Year Transfers 11 years, 10 months ago

This is definitely worth mentioning in the Add’l Information section. Just explain it in the same kind of way you just did, briefly and in plain English.

Students tend to look like they’re begging for sympathy […]
Mac started the topic Financial Aid Admissions in the forum Community College Transfers 11 years, 10 months ago

Hello,
Most of the schools I am applying to as a transfer are need-blind. However, one (Vandy) is not. Fortunately, my parents are willing and able to pay my entire education if I were to get in. I was wondering […]
Chris Goodmacher commented on the post, Should I Even Apply to Transfer to This College? Case Study: Brown University 11 years, 11 months ago

Hi Miserlou! You could totally try applying (and there’s little downside to trying to apply – you can always just apply next year if you don’t get in). You GPA is a little below the average for accepted transfers […]
Chris Goodmacher replied to the topic Transferring from Villanova in the forum Four-Year Transfers 11 years, 11 months ago

It really depends on what you mean by “quality school.” What schools were you looking at?

A lot of schools post minimum GPAs to apply to transfer as well as the average GPA of accepted transfer applicants. Take […]

Hi jamesyy! Here’s a quick summary of the transfer testing requirements at the US News Top 50: http://transferweb.com/stats/transfer-testing-requirements/ Always check with each school you’re interested in though, […]

Hello,

Here’s a question regarding Academic Renewal. Will AR erase the bad quarters from one’s transcript, or can schools still see the quarters in question?

Alright Chris,

I appreciate your time!
Chris Goodmacher replied to the topic Low SAT and High GPA in the forum Community College Transfers 11 years, 11 months ago

There’s a lot more to transferring than that, so it’s impossible for me to comment.

However, definitely keep in mind that SAT scores matter A LOT LESS in transfer admissions than in freshman admissions, and […]

Hey Anne!

First, congratulations! Second, submit a FAFSA for every school you’re applying to, no matter what, as early as possible (more money is available earlier in the year). I’m not sure why you would need […]
Anneshirley started the topic Fincial Aide and Acceptance for College in Fall in the forum Community College Transfers 11 years, 12 months ago

Hello!

Anneshirley present, and I have a question hopefully you may be able to answer. This is related to Finical Aide. I have applied to CSU’s UC’s and private schools (Stanford, SCU LMU, Mills, USF) and […]

“Basically, as one of my teachers once told me, your application has to be like a woman’s skirt: long enough to cover the subject but short enough to be interesting.”
Classic! hahaha

How exactly were you able to pay 13,000 in student loans at Stanford? Specifically, what did you apply to?
Chris Goodmacher commented on the post, When to Dump Your College: Transfer Mid-Year or Stick It Out? 12 years ago

Transferring shouldn’t affect any federal aid or any aid that doesn’t come from your specific school.

However, if you’re getting aid specifically from your school, then obviously that goes away once you […]
Chris Goodmacher replied to the topic Recommendation Letters in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

@Neagrizz has good advice.
Not sure which professor to ask? Here’s something you can do. Email each prof you’re considering and ask them if they would be comfortable writing a strong rec for you. Use the word […]
Chris Goodmacher replied to the topic Question about Lesley University– Attempting to Transfer In in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

@bentlikebender thanks for your post! I wish I could say something more precise, but you have a chance since you clear the GPA hurdle.

We highly, highly recommend though that you focus on getting better […]
Alana R. started the topic Recommendation Letters in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

I am trying to figure out when/who to ask for Rec letters. I’m pretty sure I have As in all of my classes, so I can’t just choose the professor of the class I did best in. In addition, I have a good relationship […]
