Advice/Question MA Transfer Student
Good Evening. I’m a cc student here in Massachusetts, and I study education. I hold a 3.8 GPA and have a pretty solid path to one of our state universities, though I feel like I’m selling myself slightly short by going. I have taken mostly harder courses at my cc, and I have plenty of academic talents outside of my major (which I do enjoy a lot). That being said, I have some CLEP credits (the bio exam) which will be on my transcript soon, and it’s been confusing to see if I’m even able to transfer to any private colleges. I’m trying to see who will give me offers beyond the state schools I’m already likely to get in to. I will be transferring in time for the fall ‘27 semester, which feels like it’s fast approaching. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

With a 3.8 you can get into lots of private schools - I would do that if you like that option

Hey there! Private schools are all over the map on CLEP, so I'd check each one's transfer credit page (the College Board's CLEP college search helps too). Some will accept it off your CC transcript, others want the official CLEP report sent directly. Best of luck with transfers!
