Interested in transferring to NCSU Poole College of Management

I'm currently studying at another college and I'm interested in transferring to NCSU's Poole College of Management. What are the requirements and process like? Any specific things I should prepare for?

To transfer into NCSU's Poole College of Management, you'll need to complete an application through the Common App and submit your official transcript(s). To be eligible for consideration, you need to have a minimum college GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (though note that this is a minimum –– the actual competitive GPA may be higher).

One unique aspect of the transfer application process at NCSU is the specific course requirements. For business majors, you're required to have taken courses in English Composition, Economics (Micro and Macro), Calculus, and Statistics before transferring. Depending on your current major and coursework, you may have already taken these classes. If not, it would be beneficial to add these classes to your schedule before transferring.

Writing a stand-out essay, demonstrating curiosity, dedication, and passion in relation to the major you're applying for can be a significant component of your application. Additionally, extracurricular activities that demonstrate leadership or interest in business (e.g, leadership positions in business related clubs, related part-time jobs, etc.) could help make your application more competitive. For example, extensive participation in a finance club or organizing business-related initiatives can help show your interest in the field.

Upon submitting your application, a committee will review it in accordance with the next transfer admissions deadline. If you are admitted, NCSU offers enrollment advising to assist in the transition and to ensure your previous credits are efficiently transferred. They can help you to ensure that your transfer credits are properly applied to your course requirements, which can be beneficial to make certain that you're on track for graduation.

In a nutshell: maintain a strong GPA, take the required prerequisite courses, showcase your passion through your essays and activities, and prepare to work with an advisor to facilitate your transition. Good luck!
