Why I Want 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.

My home is only 35 minutes from the university. Living this close provided me with the choice to live at home and lighten the load of my growing student loans. Going to USI would give me the chance to be more involved in my brother’s life and watch him grow up. Another positive was the ability to have networking connections for my future career in the Evansville area. I plan to stay in Southern Indiana when I am older and attending school in Evansville will provide me with connections to hospitals and therapy departments where I aspire to eventually be employed. The main concern keeping me from deciding right away to transfer, was that I had already signed an apartment lease in Bloomington which I could not get out of. Unless I could find somebody to take over my lease, I would find myself stuck in Bloomington the following

Many students who may not have the best grades or have the top act score can find it hard to get into many of the schools they dreamt about going to but starting out at the community college level allows you to get your foot in the door with school , and allows you to become a stronger student. “That is the understanding- that you will grow a little bit with your first English Class, a bit more with your first psychology class, a whole lot more with your first biology class, physic, and chemistry.” While attending the local community college grow as a student and a learner so when the times come to transfer a stronger student is entering that

I was born on October 6th 1992 in Modesto California. I was raised in the West Side, which is predominately known for its poverty, gangs, and violence. The neighborhoods that I grew up in were heavily populated by minorities such as Cambodians, Mexicans, and African Americans. Within these minorities there were separate gangs that would all fight amongst each other. For example the Cambodians had the Asian Boyz and the West Side boys, Mexicans had the Norteños and Sureños and the African Americans had the Crips and Bloods. I never affiliated myself with any of these gangs but was often exposed to their lifestyles either through my oldest brother or by simply living on the wrong side of town. My oldest brother was gang affiliated and he

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.

After extensive research, I came to the conclusion that the University of North Carolina at Greensboro was the best school for me. I am transferring to receive my Bachelor’s degree in Public Health. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro offers an amazing program in Public Health, which is completely online. The Bachelor’s degree in Public Health is a program designed to receive your degree by completing courses at home. I am eager to learn all of the material required for me to be successful in the career of my choice. My ultimate career after receiving the Public Health degree is to become a Medical and Health Services Manager. I hope to achieve this goal and make my family proud. Even though I will not be physically attending the university, I love the diversity of the university and the surrounding area. I have visited the university many times and the people are always nice and helpful. I hope to communicate with classmates via email and become a more sociable person. I promise to work hard and be very successful in all of my

Countless numbers of college freshman transfer out after their first year of studies. Many return, some don't. Unfortunately, many of these students felt displaced and found that their expectations were not met by the university they attended. Attending community school gives students the opportunity to earn college credit while taking the time to select the 4-year institution that is right for them. Because there is little financial investment, most students

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.

UNC Wilmington has been my top pick for the college I want to attend to obtain my Bachelor’s degree in Business ever since I was a Junior in high school. I applied for the fall 2016 to spring 2017 semester my senior year of high school and was not accepted into UNC Wilmington. I knew I had a big decision to make and I needed to figure out what I was going to do since I was not accepted into UNC Wilmington. I had been accepted to other universities and I could have easily attended one of them instead but I knew where I really wanted to be was UNC Wilmington. I finally made the decision to take one year at Cape Fear Community College and work hard to get my GPA up to where it needs to be in order to be considered for the fall 2017 semester. I realized that

When you are done with community college, you can transfer to a 4 year college, working on your intended major. However, you can apply for need-based aid or merit based aid, sometimes making four year institutions considerably easier to pay off, or even free if you receive a full ride scholarship.

By the time most students start thinking about the credits they had previously earned at the community college it is too late and they have already lost them. This is the most difficult part of the transferring process due to the fact that

To prepare myself for this new chapter in my life, I have taken many steps to help prepare myself for the fall of 2017 at Morehead State. In the spring of 2017, I chose to transfer to a community college to help improve my grades and my GPA. (Seeing it went from a 1.3 to a 2.6).  I have talked with advisors that have helped to map out the rest of my college career to have me reach my goals. I have researched all courses needed for my intended major of Health and Physical Education. I know which credits I have already earned and which of those credits will successfully transfer over. I have taken a closer look and

Students beginning their higher education at a community college have a breadth of accessible opportunities at their fingertips. Community college is a smart option for persons seeking a quality education at a lower price, it is an invaluable stepping stone to attending a 4 year university, and it provides an occasion to interact with people from diverse cultures. Advice I would give a community college student planning to transfer to a four year university is to use their time wisely and take the community college experience seriously. Use this beneficial stage between high school and a four year university to learn how to manage time, complete and turn in assignments by deadlines, work diligently to follow teachers’ instructions, and strive

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

Describing the process where credit hours earned at a community college transfers for acceptance at upper-level institutions, articulation ensures a student’s time and effort correctly awards. By meeting with transfer counselors, prospects can ascertain existing articulation agreements employed at colleges and universities of interest in addition to other requirements of consequence. Nevertheless, the pitfalls of transferring individual coursework opposed to entire curricula or specific degrees can evolve into a painful cautionary tale. Generally speaking, most students benefit by transferring an associate’s degree rather than individual courses affording far closer scrutiny. Additional or unexpected course requirements following a transfer
