Meet the Transfer Admissions Team | Worcester Polytechnic Institute

The WPI Transfer team is here to support you throughout your transfer journey! Our Admissions team will guide you as you explore academic programs, navigate transfer credits, and look to find your community. Whether you're planning your first visit to WPI or you're ready to apply, we look forward to connecting with you! If you have any questions, please reach out to transfer@wpi.edu and our staff will be happy to assist you!

The Admissions team works closely with our Office of Academic Advising to provide personalized guidance for incoming transfer students. Prospective transfers are encouraged to schedule a Transfer Tuesday appointment with an Admissions counselor to learn more about WPI. Sessions are offered virtually on Tuesday afternoons in the fall. Admitted and enrolling students should schedule an advising appointment with a transfer academic advisor for support in transitioning to WPI academics.

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers What is your favorite spot on WPI's campus?My favorite spot on campus is WPI's Higgins House--especially the formal gardens and meditation pond. The Tudor-style home itself, modeled by its original owner after English castles, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The grounds and gardens make you feel like you stepped into a time warp to the old English countryside. It's a quiet, beautiful spot to take a peaceful moment. Responsibilities: Massachusetts* and transfer students
