Is it bad to transfer colleges your senior year?
I've had quite a unique college experience. I transferred after my freshman year for financial reasons (I lost my athletic scholarship due to injury), after a semester at my second school, I realized I hated it and their weird credit/grading system, so I transferred again. This is my 3rd semester at my 3rd school and I'm thinking of transferring again for a number of reasons: 1) I currently live in an apartment off campus and it is getting expensive, so I would have to commute. This new school is very close to my home (within 5-10 minutes) whereas my current school is about a 2 hour train ride, which would cost me about $2,000+ for two semesters. 2) Money is definitely an issue for me. It is near impossible finding a job at this school, and I'm currently depending on my parents for money, which I HATE. If I am at home, I am guaranteed a job. Maybe even a job as a substitute teacher or coach... jobs that will strengthen my resume. 3) I am planning on continuing my education by going to graduate school at the new school after I graduate with my B.A. The thing is, I am an English major and I will be going for my Masters in Education. Their Masters program requires that I take all the English undergrad classes that are required for the major if I have not taken them at my previous school. So, I would have to take their undergrad classes either way, as an undergrad or grad student. Sorry if this is confusing! 4) I also thought that having a degree from the school I plan on going to grad school, I will have a better chance at getting accepted to their Masters program. The only thing I am concerned about is the fact that it's my senior year. I have already compared all of the requirements and I would only be 2 classes behind, which I plan to take this summer, so being in school longer is not an issue. I guess the fact that I will have attended 4 schools in 4 years might also look bad when I'm applying for jobs, but I understand that that issue is controversial. I had a teacher in high school that did the same and actually encouraged transferring more than once for the varied experiences. I think that it is arguable that my different experiences could be valuable to me as a future teacher, but that's not what all interviewers may believe. It's hard enough to find a job as a teacher, I don't need any extra setbacks. Do you think it would be a good idea to transfer?
Can I transfer to a University from one year of Community College?
You seriously described my whole entire plan that I had when I was a high school senior! And you know what I did? I followed it! I am almost finished with my first year of being at a community college. And I saved roughly $12,000 that I wouldn't have if I went down the path of being a freshmen at a university. I applied for my first choice for universities in November and then got accepted in December. I would have, however, applied in early October because for me the signing up for dorms had already started by the time I was accepted. So I have no clue if I will get my top choice of dorms. Sometime in the next few months, go and visit the university that you are interested in. Make sure that you get a one-on-one meeting with this university about transfer credits. Or at least make sure that you get in contact with someone at the university about transfer credits. For me, my first semester class schedule was basically made by the university because they recommended what they would accept for credits. Also pay attention to how the credits from the community college to the university would transfer. A class at the community college may be 4 credits there but only transfer to 3 credits at the university. In regards to that "30 semester hours of required transferable coursework at another college or university", that is about the credits. You need to earn at least 30 credits that would transfer at the university. If you were to not meet those 30 credits, this does not mean that it was a waste of time. You would be just a freshmen then. For me, I have to have 24 credits to be considered a transfer student. Which a transfer student is different from a freshmen. I know for a fact that because I will be a transfer student that I won't be placed in the freshmen dorms. You'd be treated like a sophomore. Another little thing that you should know is that you have a way better chance of getting into a university if you are applying as a transfer. This is because they won't care too much about your GPA in high school, they care about how you do in community college. Universities have a lot harder of a time turning down someone who'd be a transfer student than some high school graduate who has never stepped foot in a college classroom. So YES, your whole plan (that is the same as the plan that I've stayed right on track with) is possible! Go for it!
Can i transfer to a University after one year of community college?
Hey, Steph! Great question. :) In the majority of cases, yes, this is possible. There are a few colleges that either don't take second-year transfers or any transfers at all, but for the majority, you can transfer once you've earned a full year of credit. (Even though some credits will still be in progress when you apply, that's usually not a problem.) This is particularly true if you're transferring from a community college to one of your state's public universities. However, it should definitely be stressed that having only one year of credit, including half of your credits still in progress when you apply, will absolutely put you at a disadvantage at most colleges, especially more selective ones. It's common to see notices on transfer admissions websites saying that interested students are advised to not apply until they are at full sophomore standing, which typically means they try to apply for the start of their second semester as a sophomore, not their first. This is because they want to see that you've really proven yourself and will be able to succeed at higher-level courses. At the college where I worked in admissions, largely working with transfers, only about a quarter of our admitted transfers came in with only one year of credit. We also required that they submit more information than usual and we put a lot more emphasis on their SAT scores and high school transcripts than we would have for other transfers, making it a bit harder for those applicants. So you just want to be absolutely sure about the policies and suggestions of the colleges in which you're interested. What you can always do is e-mail the transfer admissions counselor at a college and ask them how many credits they recommend you earn before applying. Finally, if it makes you feel better, I started at a community college and fully planned to not stay there for the full two years, but I ended up actually staying even a little bit longer than that because I had such a fantastic experience. It also helped me build my résumé so that I was able to get into much, much better institutions than I would have with just a year of credit. You may also want to keep that in mind. :) Good luck!
Nursing program transfer advice for a first year community college student?
I just graduated high school this year and am attending a local community college to get transfer requirements done so I can transfer into a nursing program to become a registered nurse. I want to go into some sort of healthcare job, as I love biology and the human body in addition to helping people. However, upon looking into nursing programs in my state (CA), I see that I really only have about 2 or 3 options for public school nursing programs, and that of those, all of them accept around 24-30 students each year out of 150-200 that apply. I have confidence in myself to do well in my classes these next few years at community college, but it's still a daunting and competitive number. I'm going to meet with my counselor again soon but she's not exactly specialized in the area of nursing. I'm worried that I won't have a Plan B if for some reason I'm not able to get into a nursing program. Does anyone have any experience in transferring into a nursing program from a community college? What was your experience like? What other advice do you have? I hate stressing out about this so early, but I just don't want to be spending countless years in community college trying to transfer into a program somewhere :/
Can you transfer to UCLA after freshman year in another college?
You can try…and possibly be accepted….if your SAT Score and grades are good. There is no “law” or “regulation” saying no…as far as I know. Good luck!I might add this: the tuition at any UC Campus is currently over $10,000 a year..while at any California State University the tuition is about $4000 or more LESS…. The quality of undergrad education is good at the Cal States….mostly taught by Phd.s while many classes at UC’s are taught by graduate students. I would take all the above into consideration before transferring to a UC for a BA. For graduate school it might make more sense to attend a UC?
