Transfer from Service Academy 
I am currently a Freshman at the United States Naval Academy, and am thinking about transferring. I was just curious if colleges look at that as a positive when deciding to admit a transfer, or if it is a non-issue.  Also, do they weigh the grades at a service academy differently than a regular college?  Thanks!

Re: Transfer from Service Academy 

Please take a look at my article, "Credit for Life Experience" which has information about military related credit and experience.  Also see the article, "Get the Credit You Deserve" and "Shopping for a School as a Transfer Student." CollegeTransfer.net articles are located on our homepage in the middle section of the page at www.collegetransfer.net.  The United States Naval Academy is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, this is a recognized regional accrediting association, all of the normal rules for transfer of credit for classes should apply.  You might also explore the opportunity of gaining credit for military experience.  Good luck and I hope this was helpful.
