What's required to transfer to Spelman College?

I'm interested in transferring to Spelman College and want to prepare a strong application. Can anyone provide details on what specific requirements or materials I'll need to apply?

To apply for a transfer to Spelman College, you'll need to prepare several components for your application. Here's a detailed list:

1. College Report: This is a common form provided by the Common Application that needs to be completed by an official at your current/most recent institution. It provides Spelman College with a clear understanding of your standing at this institution.

2. Official College Transcript(s): You should submit an official transcript from each college you have attended. The transcripts should verify the coursework you completed at these institutions and the grades you earned.

3. Final High School Transcript: This document should confirm that you graduated high school.

4. Recommendations: You're required to submit at least two recommendations. One must be from a college instructor who taught you in a major subject.

5. Essays: You must respond to several short-answer questions and write two essays (the Personal Essay and the Transfer Essay) on topics provided by Spelman.

6. Application Fee: Spelman College requires a non-refundable application fee of $40. However, you may be eligible for a fee waiver if based on financial need.

Note that while Spelman College does not require standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) for transfer students, if you've taken the tests, you have the option of submitting your results.

Finally, to be eligible to transfer, you must have completed at least one full year of coursework at an accredited college or university and have a minimum Cumulative GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Keep in mind that spelman prefers applicants to have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Remember, your goal is to present a strong, comprehensive profile that displays your academic strengths, personal skills, and potential contribution to the Spelman community. Don't neglect to highlight relevant extracurricular activities or experiences that enhance your application.
