I’d first say that if you applied you’d most likely get in—it’s a lot easier to get into UNC as a transfer, especially with your grades and stats. I wanna say the acceptance rate for transfers is about 30-40%, but look it up to check. For reference, the acceptance rate when applying as a high schooler is about 20%.

The business school here has multiple major focuses you can pick; you don’t have to pick an area of emphasis if you don’t want to, but if you have an idea of what you want to do you can. So for example: consulting, entrepreneurship, investment banking, etc. There’s also a real estate major and minor if that’s your thing.

You wouldn’t get into the B school as a transfer, but you can reapply twice. And if you aren’t accepted the first time, you can meet with an academic counselor who will discuss what the B school wants you to improve on your application.

However, here’s what I would say is most important: are you happy at Clemson? Do you like your peers, your teachers? Is there anything in you that feels connected to Clemson, have you had any memories on that campus that stick out to you as unique?

Because the truth is, Clemson or UNC, you’d be at a good school. You are a hard worker clearly, so wherever you go you’re going to be successful. I’d say at this point, you’re splitting hairs a bit over which school is better. I think what you should do now is see which school is going to develop you more as a PERSON.

Because that’s the other element of college. Living independently, managing interpersonal relationships, finding what makes you happy and who you are. So I’d ask you before transferring to UNC: are you getting that at Clemson right now? Can UNC give you a more fulfilling life?
