About
Junior, Class of 2025
Hometown: Hopkinton, MA
Major(s): Public Health
Hi! My name is Mirabella and I'm a junior from Hopkinton, MA. I'm majoring in public health with a concentration in epidemiology, and I also am working toward a business minor. I'm a transfer student, so I first came to UMass as a sophomore. Coming in as a second year, I was anxious about navigating a big school that most other people in my class were already familiar with. But I quickly discovered that the Southwest Residential area and CHCRC provide wonderful communities of people who are always willing to make new friends! I am part of the Public Health Club, Women in Business Club, and I'm also a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma here at UMass. Currently, I'm planning on applying to UMass' 4+1 program to earn my Master's Degree in Public Health. When I have free time, I love to spend time with my friends and listen to music (any genre)!
Can I transfer into the Honors College from another university or college?
Yes, you can! I attended Clemson University my first year and transferred to UMass going into my second year. On your UMass transfer application, there will be an option to be considered for the Commonwealth Honors College. On the CommonApp, the question reads "Are you interested in joining the Commonwealth Honors College, if eligible?". If you're not interested, leave the box unchecked. If you are, check the box and your application will be reviewed for admission into the Honors College. I highly recommend asking to be considered as it can only benefit you! All transfer applications are reviewed holistically for admission into CHC.
