I'm thinking about applying to Bridgewater State College as a transfer student. Does anyone know the application deadline I need to keep in mind for the transfer process?
Bridgewater State University operates on a rolling admissions policy for transfer students. This means they review and make decisions on applications as they come in, until all spots are filled. However, it's recommended to apply as early as possible for two reasons. Firstly, since decisions are made on a first-come, first-served basis, applying earlier increases your chances of getting admitted. Secondly, some majors may have limited spots, so early application could also be beneficial in securing your desired major. If you have specific academic programs in mind, I would encourage checking with the admissions office for details.
Bear in mind, however, that financial aid does have deadlines, so even though the admissions office operates on a rolling basis, you'll want to submit your FAFSA as soon after October 1 as possible to ensure you receive the maximum amount of aid you qualify for. Furthermore, housing availability might be limited for late applicants so if you are planning to live on campus, I would also suggest applying early.
Remember to also send all your college transcripts, high school transcripts, and any letters of recommendation if required as part of your application package.
