Any advice for transfer students from community college? Curious what extracurriculars/other than grades stuff you’re putting on your app, if you’re willing to share!

I’d probably feel more comfortable giving advice if I knew it was good advice– i.e., I don’t know if I’ve been accepted to the uni I applied to yet.

I think it really depends on the university. I was all geared up and ready to ask my supervisor at my current job, supervisors from volunteer work I’ve done, for letters of recommendation…then found out that for my transfer app, they don’t even accept letters of rec. It’s just transcripts, and personal statements.

From what I’ve heard; it’s best to apply as a transfer student once you’ve actually acquired your Associate’s/two-year degree. 

I guess my best advice I could think of would be to keep up the GPA as much as you can, and really give some thought to what it is you want to major in and why, and what you’d like to do in your future field of choice, what you’re passionate about and why– that’s generally what the’re asking for in the personal statements. Maybe take some notes when you’re brainstorming about this, so that you have somewhere to start from/a jumping off point for the statement when you do apply.
