Hey everyone, I'm considering transferring to Texas A&M's Mays Business School in College Station. Can anyone share what GPA I need to aim for? I'm a bit worried about meeting the requirement and want to plan accordingly.
Hello! Texas A&M Mays Business School does require competitive GPAs for transfer applicants. While they don't have a fixed minimum GPA for transfer students, they recommend a minimum GPA of 3.5 for all attempted course work at the college level. Please note that admission is competitive and successful applicants typically have GPAs exceeding this benchmark.
Furthermore, A&M notes that certain courses must be completed prior to your transfer application. Recommended coursework includes English composition, macroeconomics, microeconomics, business math and business statistics, among others. Be sure to reference the university's official transfer course sheets for the most accurate information about course equivalents and requirements. Remember that high-quality coursework and grades in these subjects will be essential to your application.
Lastly, A&M does take into consideration other factors in addition to GPA like your personal statement, extracurricular involvement, and your overall fit with the institution. So while working towards a strong GPA, do also focus on shaping a well-rounded application. Best of luck with your preparation and application!
