Applying to Marietta College as a Transfer Student

I'm thinking about transferring to Marietta College. Can anyone share their experience with their transfer application process? Were there any unexpected challenges or important things to keep in mind?

One important thing to remember about transferring to Marietta College is that they take a holistic review approach to transfer students. This expansion includes the existing grades you've earned at your previous institution(s), the difficulty of courses you've taken, as well as your reason for wanting to transfer.

Like every other college, Marietta College expects you to be in good standing at your current or most recent institution and should have earned a minimum GPA of 2.5. Remember to fully explain any unique circumstances that might have resulted in a lower GPA in your personal statement.

The course-to-course articulation agreements may prove to be a challenge to some students. Not all courses or credits can move at an equal value from one college to another, so be prepared for this. Communicating with the Transfer Services team at Marietta College can be especially beneficial when attempting to evaluate which credits will transfer over with you. For example, I've heard that they're really helpful when it comes to evaluating previous coursework and sharing which credits will transfer.

Overall, as with any college transfer process, open communication with your current school and your intended school is key to navigate through the process. Best of luck!
