Helpful Transfer Resources Compilation

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Hey Everyone,</p>

<p>I'm working on a project that aims to compile all the most relevant and helpful resources for students looking to transfer from a CCC to a US (website links, data, financial aid info, links to TAGs, important info about TAGs and these type of contracts, ASSIST info, etc etc). </p>

<p>It's been a couple years since I graduated so I'm a little out of touch. </p>

<p>This site was a great resource for me when I was looking to transfer so I thought I'd reach out to you all. </p>

<p>I was wondering if you could post your thoughts on what resources you think would be helpful to consult for new CCC students looking to transfer to a UC? </p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Ms. Sun’s blog and website is pretty helpful (She also responds to your email, which is pretty cool)</p>

<p>I second Ms. Sun. She also has her own list of resources for students ([■■■■■■■■■■■■</a> - Community College Students: Resources](<a href=“http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/cc-resource.htm]■■■■■■■■■■■■”>http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/cc-resource.htm)).</p>

<p>I also found [University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/]University”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/) very helpful for understanding how numbers work in the admissions game. The site isn’t updated frequently, but it is a great database for information about the applicant pool. I even used the site for a statistics project. </p>

<p>This is the systemwide UC site: [University</a> of California - Transfer](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/index.html)
I would invite students to peruse the official websites for each UC campus, which you can find on Google, for transfer and financial aid information. I highly advise new students to visit the department websites for their major to get a sense of what life is like after transfer. </p>

<p>For UCLA, here are additional admissions statistics: [Statistics</a> - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/stat.htm]Statistics”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/stat.htm)
And their TAP site: [UCLA</a> - Transfer Alliance Program](<a href=“http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/tap/]UCLA”>http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/tap/)</p>

<p>This is the new TAG application website: <a href=“https://uctag.universityofcalifornia.edu/index.cfm[/url]”>https://uctag.universityofcalifornia.edu/index.cfm&lt;/a&gt;
Students should visit each campus’s website to MAKE SURE they’re eligible. </p>

<p>Lastly, lurking on College Confidential does wonders to inform transfer hopefuls. ;)</p>

<p>I hope this helps your project.</p>

<p>Edit: This Q&A doc has transfer answers from all of the undergraduate campuses. I can’t copy/paste the link, but you can get it from Ms. Sun’s post. </p>

<p>More info about UCLA’s TAP: <a href=“http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/tap/pp_ug_admissions.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/tap/pp_ug_admissions.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>UC Berkeley information sheet with admission statistics:

<p>Financial Aid info and calculators (grey box on right):

<p><a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST; should be the first step, of course. </p>

<p>All links that I wish I had found sooner.</p>

<p>I commend your valiant effort, but knowing how CC works this thread will ultimately fall off the first page and be lost. A few weeks ago I saw a thread asking what was IGETC. All they had to do was click the UC Transfer FAQ thread to see the answer. </p>

<p>Another case I saw applicants attempting to determine how many applications a school received for the past year. Then someone posted a direct link to the official school website displaying the number and yet people still speculated.</p>

<p>Yes, perhaps we should add [Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“http://lmgtfy.com/]Let”>http://lmgtfy.com/) to the list.</p>

<p>I think that just might become my standard answer from now on.</p>
