QUANTUM PREP INSIGHTS

Part 1 of our Transfer Application article, we explored the two main criteria that universities use to assess transfer applications beyond what they already expect from freshman applicants. As a quick refresher, let’s list them out here again: Will this transfer applicant graduate on time without problems? Can this transfer applicant handle college-level work? While a “yes” to these two questions won’t guarantee acceptance, it will go a long way towards making you a strong transfer candidate. But even if

Management has long been a widely coveted degree in the U.K. For those who don’t know, the U.K. offers an undergraduate degree called Management for those with a dual interest in both Economics and Business.

If so, we’d be out of a job. Given our students and parents normally cannot afford to donate buildings or billion-dollar foundations to the university, there are a few alternative pathways
