We appreciate your interest in Bates and would like to help you determine if we’re a better fit for you as a transfer student. We welcome applications from students who have attended or are attending other institutions, including international students enrolled overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be eligible, transfer applicants must have completed at least one semester at an accredited college or university by the time of the application deadline to Bates. If you haven’t yet completed a second semester at another institution, the high school transcript remains critical; for all transfer applicants, both high school and college transcripts are considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A transfer student is defined as any student who has previously matriculated as a degree candidate at another institution and has earned or is earning credit. Transfer students are eligible for need-based financial aid and are guaranteed campus housing. Though we don’t require a minimum GPA, students who transfer to Bates generally have a college GPA in the range of 3.3 or higher (out of 4.0) in a challenging liberal arts and sciences curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
