The University of Miami uses a holistic admission process in which all parts of a student's application are considered. Every application receives a full and comprehensive evaluation. We base our admission decision on the student's academic strength and how competitive that student is in the applicant pool. The average accepted transfer student has a 3.4 grade point average.
|
| |
| Transfer applicants are those students who are currently enrolled at another college/university, and students who would like to pursue a second bachelor's degree. If you have fewer than 30 college credits at the time you apply, you must submit official high school transcripts, the Common Application Secondary School Final Report and SAT/ACT scores in addition to your core application documents. |

If you have attended more than one college/university, you must submit official transcripts from each college. We will not review transcripts/credits that are indicated as transfer credits to your current institution.

Transfer Applicants are required to provide a college report through the Common Application, which must be completed by a dean or college official who has access to your academic record and your disciplinary record.
|
|
|
 |
|
We require an essay for Transfer applicants. Since each applicant is considered individually, the essay provides the opportunity to present information that may assist the Admission Committee as it evaluates the application for admission. The essay consists of a personal statement (250 words minimum) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to acheive. This can be filled out online through the Common Application.

We require only one instructor/professor evaluation (letter of recommendation). This form can be sent electronically through the Common Application website or mailed to:
