Recommendations for Competitive Applicants | Transfer Student Resources
Recommendations for Competitive Applicants
Once you have determined which major you are applying for, we encourage you to review our recommendations for competitive applicants for the college the major is in.
Transfer to NC State
Meeting these recommendations does not guarantee admission but sets you up to be considered a competitive applicant in the review process.
All transfer applicants are encouraged to complete the university’s
graduation requirement in first-year writing
prior to applying.
AP scores
or transferrable coursework from an accredited institution can be used to meet transfer admission coursework requirements. Use our
Transfer Planner
to plan your coursework and see how your transfer credits fulfill degree requirements.
When selecting a major, keep in mind you must take courses to complete the
degree requirements
for that major for
at least one year
before considering or
applying for a major change
while at NC State.
