Bulldog Bound Perspective - Taylor May
Meet Taylor May, a transfer student from Jones County Junior College. Being a Bulldog has always been a desire and passion for Taylor. She has chosen a career in business administration due to the endless career opportunities.
"Currently, I am a real estate agent in Starkville and I believe my classes have prepared me to successfully run my own brokerage one day. My favorite event within my program is the Career Chats; I love learning from the people who once sat in my seat. It helps connect the book with real life. If I could tell future transfer students anything I would tell them to get involved! MSU has something for everyone. Some of those clubs are where I met the friends I can't imagine life without."
Taylor May, Laurel, MS

How to get tagged:
Community College Freshmen - If you're bound for Mississippi State, go ahead and Get Tagged! There are 2 ways to become part of our Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG) program.
If you were admitted to MSU as a freshman for Fall 2014 but decided to attend a community college first, just go back to apply.msstate.edu, log back in to your application and click the "TAG ME" button. Please tell us where you're attending community college and update your contact information as needed.
If you're in your first year of Community College but did NOT apply for admission to State as a freshman, you can still Get Tagged, too. Go to apply.msstate.edu and follow the directions to apply to the TAG program.
If you're a community college sophomore or a student planning to transfer from another 4-year institution, then the TAG program will not be the best fit for you. The traditional application for admission for Fall 2015 will be your best route.
