What are the Requirements for Transferring to the University of Massachusetts - Admissions 101

When you are transferring, a lot of the requirements depend on where you're coming from and what your specific experience might be. Our holistic review allows us to go beyond just GPA or ACT/SAT numbers, and look at how a student is doing in their major.

So it really depends on where a student is coming from. A lot of times it's gonna specifically relate to a student's specific circumstances.

-For general admissions, we're largely looking for students to have a 2.7 or higher GPA, and then additionally, if they're in their first year of college, we're looking for them to have around a 3.7 high school GPA, which is recalculated, and then also SAT's around the 1180 mark, although higher is better.

-Additionally, even for non-competitive majors, when we do the review of an application, what's really important to us, I think overall for admissions, but especially for transfer students, is the holistic review. We're able to look at a student's specific situation because that informs our decisions as much as what GPA they have, and so part of that is looking at grades and courses related to the major, so if you're in a biology major, you're trying to apply for biology, I'm gonna wanna see how are you doing in calculus, how are you doing in your intro to biology courses, you know? If you had some not as great grades in your humanities courses, those are still important, but you're excelling in your science courses, which shows that you're ready to succeed.

-Now, the requirements for students in the Mass Transfer Program are usually different. So for our general majors, we're looking for a 2.5 or higher GPA if they're in an approved Mass Transfer Program at one of the state community colleges in Massachusets. They can go to the Mass Transfer website to check out, see for the major they want, what majors are approved and which programs. They can also talk to one of our counselors to kinda discuss what makes sense for what they want.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Spanish
-Depende mucho de donde donde se está transfiriendo un estudiante.Muchas veces va a estar
relacionado específicamente con las circumstancias específicas de los estudiantes. Para admisiones generales, en general vamos pedir que los estudiantes tengan un promedio de 2.7 o más y además, si están en su primer año de universidad, estamos buscando que tengan
un promedio de al rededor de 3.7 en la secundaria, el cual es recalculado and then also SAT's around the 1180 mark, aunque un puntaje más alto es mejor.

-Adicionalmente, incluso para carreras no-competitivas, cuando revisamos la aplicación, algo que es muy importante para nosotros, creo en general para admisiones, pero especialmente para los estudiantes transferidos, es la revisión holística. Tenemos la posibilidad de ver la situación específica de un estudiante, porque eso informa nuestras decisiones, al igual que su promedio,
entonces parte de eso es ver tus notas y clases relacionadas a la carrera, entonces si estás en una carrera de biología, y estas intentando aplicar a biología,

-¿voy a querer ver cómo te está yengo en cálculo, cómo te está yendo en tus clases de introducción a biología, ¿sabes? Si tienes tienes calificaciones no tan buenas en tus cursos de humanidades,
esas son importantes, pero te está yendo muy bien en tus cursos de ciencias, eso muestra que estás listo para el éxito.

-Ahora, los requisitos para los estudiantes en el Programa Mass Transfer normalmente son diferentes. Entonces para carreras generales estamos buscando un promedio de 2.5 o más alto
si están en un Programa Mass Transfer aprobado en una de las community colleges de Massachusetts. Pueden ir a la página de Mass Transfer para ver, buscar la carrera que quieren,
que carreras están aprobadas y que programas.

-Tambien pueden hablar con uno de nuestros consejeros para discutir que tiene sentido para lo que quieren.
