Reasons For Wanting To Transfer

I'm attending El Paso Community College to start off my education. My ambition is to be the first one in my family to be a college graduate. Gain a level of independence, there is still much for me to learn not only in school but in the real world as well. Community College will allow me to complete a degree in a giving environment well also beneficially not costing too much. Thanks to Advanced Placement and Dual credit courses, I have completed some of the requirements needed for my degree. Therefore, I wish to transfer to a bigger university so that I may have an opportunity in my majoring field. I'm not a native El Pasoen however it has become another place I call home. Although I wish to experience more of a diversity in other cities.

As a child I received my first scholarship from the Big Shoulders Fund in Chicago and was able to continue attending my elementary school although my parents could not afford to pay the tuition expenses. They have always been transparent with me about their financial struggles and done their best to pay for my education regardless. From the moment that I received that first scholarship I understood that it was my responsibility to do all that I could in order to be able to attend the college of my choice. I went on to attend high school on a scholarship and became a part of a work study program in order to decrease additional expenses. No aspect of my childhood had taught me how to fit into a prep school, however I was grateful to be there because to

My reasons for transferring are entirely academic. I have made many good friends at Rutgers, and I have studied with some wonderful professors. However, I am eager to gain a sophisticated understanding of Mathematics as well as Computer Science. An institution excellent in both Math and CS would be a better choice for me.

I felt as though I didn’t really love what I was studying, that I wasn’t really connecting with other students who shared my academic interests, and that my options were limited when it came to exploring things I really had an interest in, such as community/public health. I want to transfer to George Mason because of the multicultural campus community, the excellent academic programs, and because of Mason’s ideal location. My uncle, Eugene Koranteng, attended Mason after coming from Ghana to the USA, and made his mark as a triple jump record holder. He told me that he wouldn’t change a thing about his college experience! I also have friends who attend George Mason and share with me new people they’ve met, as well as new cultures they’ve learned about and embraced! Although Mason’s campus is large, George Mason still keeps class sizes small. I have realized in going to CNU that a small campus is great, but when a campus is so small, the people tend to be homogeneous. At Mason, I know that there is so much to do, to learn, as well as, so many different people to

As Ernie Harwell once quoted: “It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.” This quote sums up the feelings that come to mind as I fill out this application to transfer to Rutgers New Brunswick. My experience so far at Rutgers has taught me a lot about myself, and the people around me. It taught me that I am a part of a bigger picture, and each of us as individuals have a huge impact on the society around us. However, I have come to peace that it is time to move on from the Newark campus and pursue my degree at Rutgers New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences. New Brunswick would be a more logical option for my studies due to a shorter commute from home, and a better computer science program.

Going to community college was not part of the original game plan when deciding where to apply junior year of high school. The original plan was to attend a college I was accepted into in New York city and it seemed as easy as clicking accept until it came to planning out the financial logistics and reality took the upper hand. Almost two years later and I feel the relief of being debt-free but there also lies the lingering feeling of regret. The difficulty lies within having to stay home for two years and a consistent feeling of being held back while watching high school classmates make moving strides toward their desired four-year institution. The inability to relate to my closest friends and feeling less than others led me to have a low

After graduating High School, I moved to Massachusetts with my step-father who I met when I was 13-14 years old. My mother moved a few months later. I moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts and applied to college at UMass Lowell and Merrimack College. I was encouraged to apply to a Community College because it was cheaper but I never liked the idea of a two years college for then transfer to another school. However, I started as a Biology major and pre-med student in Merrimack College but then had to transfer to UMass Lowell before my second semester. I moved because it was an expensive school to afford for a low-income student without a scholarship, and I also did not want to acquire a massive school loan debt before medical school. I transferred to UMass Lowell as a Biology major after my first semester of freshman year. I then became a Psychology major with a minor in Sociology and Developmental Studies and graduated in May 2016.

For nearly two years, I have been attending Tougaloo College. Before attending Tougaloo, I was educated in the Jackson Public School System. I am a Jackson native. I was raised by a single parent. My secondary academic career was mildly successful. I graduated high school with honors, and received numerous awards and honors such as being inducted into my high school's Hall of Fame. On another note, during my time at Tougaloo, I have become very knowledgeable on an array of topics. I have experienced much growth while being a student there. Tougaloo has instilled in me many of the necessary tools that are needed to truly thrive in the academic world. Studying at Brown, will grant me with the opportunity to experience a number things that

My failed attempt to create a DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) chapter for AACC, is one of the examples of lack of enthusiasm. AACC requires a club to have at least 30 members for it to be official and receive funding. The main reason I seek transfer is for a better academic education. Since AACC is a 2 year institution, transferring is inevitable. I will have to transfer to a 4 year university to obtain my degree. The main thing I hope to achieve from transferring this to have the opportunity to reinvent myself and achieve my academic aspirations. College is a time where you get to really find out who you are; you get to experience new things, people and places. I aim to get the most that I can from the college I transfer to. I know that Harvard will provide me with such experiences. Never mind the fact that Harvard is the leader in education and innovation. Things such as Final clubs and Division 1 sports are some of the things that really drive me to dream of becoming a Harvard Student. The experience one receives from attending a prestigious institution such as Harvard is enough to chance one’s world

It's finally time. The moment I choose what college I will be attending. This is the moment where my life changes and I start my college career. I knew I wanted to go to a community college and eventually transfer to a university after getting my degree. I had a list of options, Macomb Community College, Oakland Community College, and Mott Community College. Mott was the first one to get the boot. Mott doesn't have the exact program I was looking for. The career I am pursuing is a legal assistant or also known as a paralegal. Oakland Community College sounded like the school for me. I am moving to Rochester Hills after high school so the location was ideal. I know people who attend the school so I could get some extra help if needed, and It's not expensive. Once I did some research, I realized that Oakland's paralegal program is at

My transition to Oak Knoll was excellent but arduous. I loved the spiritual community and the close knit class. But, I had a harder time adjusting academically. The rigorous academic classes at Oak Knoll resulted in a drop in my GPA. These grades don’t reflect my work ethic and I enjoy the challenge of a more difficult school. These were enhanced expectations that I couldn’t meet at the time. My lowered GPA resulted from a sickness that extended through my sophomore years. Once I was better, I was able to do better in school, which shows in my previous year grades. These year’s show my true academic potential. I am confident that I will be successful at the college I plan on

Transferring to a four year school has never been a question for me, it is and always has been, a non negotiable expectation I have for myself. I am currently attending Mohawk Valley Community College, a two year school which I will be graduating from in December, after only three semesters, with an associates degree in International Studies. I chose a community college initially because I was unsure as to which field I wanted to major in. Before I made my decision however, I was presented with the idea that I should save money and go to a community college where I could change and explore different majors without any serious financial repercussions. This turned out to be the best decision I could have made at the time, as not only have

Recently, after I decided to join the military I decided it was time to begin attending school again. Many reasons influenced my decision. The biggest reason I could come up with is the fact that while utilizing tuition assistance I do not entail any financial obligations as long as I receive a passing grade in all my courses. Being in the military has also made me realize the importance of achieving a higher level of education. In order to be set apart among your peers you need to prove you are attempting to better yourself at every turn. Education is a great way to prove that. Not only that, education is one thing no one can ever take away from you. I'm applying to Colorado Christian University to see what amount of transfer credits I will

One any given day across America thousands of people are for many reasons. Some people move for financial difficult, career change, pcs moves or family reasons. Some people might say the reasons I moved might be good or bad. In my mind the reasons I moved was for all the right reasons which was a family choice.

(1) When I was a child, my family moved around a lot. (2) Over a period of 15 years, we lived in 4 places: Sacramento, California, St. Louis, Missouri, and Cleveland, Ohio. (3) My mother never complained about having to move so much. (4) She always made us feel as though we were embarking on a big adventure, but, in retrospect, I am sure it was hard on her to move so often. (5) Because she grew up in the ‘40s and ‘50s, she never considered a career other than being a housewife. (6) Being Mrs. Edward Bentley was her job, and she did that job very well. (7) No one ever asked her whether she wanted to move. (8) If the company said it was time to move, we moved.
