Although the faculty consider many things when reviewing transfer applications for their respective departments, they focus primarily on the content and rigor of the college-level courses that a student has completed (or is completing), and how well the student has performed academically. At a minimum, transfer applicants should be sure that they have taken college-level courses in calculus, chemistry, physics (calculus-based), computer programming, and writing, and have a minimum GPA of 3.0. Most accepted students typically have GPAs in the 3.5+ range.
