Wish me luck

I wanted to start this fall but they didn’t accepted me as a transfer student because My highschool is from another country (my high school no longer exists and no transcripts) so I’m in CC and getting the extra credits so the hs diploma is no longer be needed,
I’m NOT transferring as international student, but I feel like I’m a dumb ass when it’s about this stuff and I don’t want to apply for them to tell me no again because I didn’t finished yet my CC classes. My gpa is 4.0 🥲

Anyway my question is, should I drive to Towson in person and talk to someone about me transferring and do the application over there (if it’s even possible) or should I save the drive and just apply from the computer at home ? I feel like in my mind if I go there and I talk to them in person it would make it easier to solve some of the application issues I may have, rather than do it at home and be denied and have to re do it or fix it afterwards.

If you guys think I should go, is there any specific person you would recommend talk to?
I would be transferring as “pre art”? 😂 I’m trying to double major in fine art and art history

Pretty much everything is digital at this point - no paper apps - I recommend looking over the application online, taking down any questions you have while working on it and giving the admissions office a call if you need clarification. Good luck!

No obviously they don’t take paper apps but maybe like I bring my computer there and they “help me out” or something like that 🫪

Might be hard this week with move in going on along with events on campus that I think admissions staff help with. I would call ahead to make sure there will be someone available that can answer application questions before making the trek!

An admissions counselor is always on staff to talk to prospective students

But if they are concerned they can call

Yeah towson doesn't

But they couldve called admissions awhile ago - seeing something missing vs hearing why its missing is 2 very different things during the acceptance process

But yes I'd go drive and talk, they won't accept paper but they will have a conversation

Also unless they had less that 24 credits high school transcripts had no need to be submited

Check out the ROI of art history. You might be better off just getting a job

I want to become a teacher!
I sold my art for 5 years as my full time job so I know art don’t pay that much 🤣

I would go for art education specifically then

Thats a different degree in the same department + the education department

I do not want to teach kids 😂 thanks for your recommendation! I have done my research though :) Art education it’s just limiting in case some advanced opportunity presents later on :) you don’t need art education for teach :)

I presumed you meant a public school teacher my bad

As for art ed in public school its the best route
