Transferring to Marlboro
“Sometimes people transfer here as juniors because they have have an idea about what they want to do for Plan, whereas I came here more just for the school, and then I had to figure out what I wanted to do my Plan on. I had to hit the ground running. There's a lot of independence and a lot of responsibility — that can be really hard, but you get so much more out of it.”
- Caley French
The Admissions Staff recognizes that transfer students bring a unique perspective to the process of looking for another college. Their previous experience in higher education has served to clarify, for each applicant, what is and what is not important.
We strongly encourage transfer applicants to visit the college, to talk to students and faculty, and to observe classes.
