How many schools are you applying to for transfer

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey CC,
I am a second year at a California Community College student and I am in the process of filling out applications for transfer. My major is Accounting, and I am applying to 8 schools, I am really thinking of cutting it down to 6 or even just 5, but I am just scared of not getting in anywhere.
I currently have a 3.9 GPA, and I have a few extra-curricular activities that I am going to list on my app.
So I was wondering how many schools are other transfers applying to?</p>

2

<p>Six so far.</p>

3

<p>Probably 11 but I haven’t really decided yet. </p>

<p>I think what is more important is what schools you are applying to, not how many. If you are applying to only UCs you will probably get in. I heard that they recommend you apply to at least 4 UCs because you will probably get into at least one of them. </p>

<p>But if you are applying to only Ivy League schools or something of course your chances of being accepted are a lot lower.</p>

<p>I’m mainly looking to apply to UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UC Riverside , University of Southern California, San Jose State, Long Beach State, and San Diego State.
I tagged to Riverside so technically I will have already gotten into one, but the others I am not so sure. This list could change as in throwing out some, adding new ones, etc…</p>

5

<p>2 maybe 3. It depends on how well I do this semester.</p>

6

<p>@mermaker, are those ones you know you will very likely get into, or are you currently at a four-year and will just stay if you don’t get into them?</p>

7

<p>Since it costs about $60 for each application, I’m only going to apply to school where I would go if I get accepted. I’m currently at a CC. I tagged UCSC, so I’m pretty sure I’m in at that school. I’m also going to apply to UCSB, and If I get in, I’ll go there.</p>

8

<p>Hard to say at the moment, though the only ones I have in mind right now are Texas A&M and UT Austin since I can’t think of anything else at the moment with a 3.5-3.8 GPA.</p>

9

<p>Only applying to 3 due to two major constraints:

  1. Have to stay local.
  2. Offer desired major or comparable program.</p>

<p>If it weren’t for #1, I would probably apply to 8 total.</p>

10

<p>I applied to 2 (Michigan and Michigan State). It made sense to me because I didn’t see myself going out of state, and application costs add up quickly if you apply to 5+ schools when you’ll only be attending one.</p>

11

<p>I applied to one school for Spring '13. If I don’t get in I’ll sapply to 5 or 6 for the fall.</p>

12

<p>I have applied to 3. Portland State U, Depaul University & Loyola U Chicago. It was 4, but I looked at it again and realized that the program I was looking at wasn’t the extremely high tuition/cost-of-living. Now I am axiously waiting for a reply to my 3.</p>

13

<p>applying to just one school for spring.</p>

14

<p>I go to a community college in seattle, wa and i’m planning on applying to 5 schools.
University of Washington (Sort of my safety school)
UC-Berkeley
UCLA
U-Mich
Georgia Tech.
I’m just taking my chance and hoping to get accepted to at least one of the last four schools. Just submitted my application for U-Mich yesterday for fall,2013 term.
Do any of you know how long U-Mich’s admission process take?</p>

15

<p>I’m applying to all of the UC’s except Merced and Riverside. And, additionally, 15 privates…I know it’s a lot haha.
@kevinsalee: I e-mailed U of Michigan and they told me that they begin making decisions in January.</p>

16

<p>I applied to 6
Cal Poly Pomona
CSU Long Beach
San Diego State University
UC Riverside
University of La Verne
CSU Fullerton</p>

17

<p>I’m only applying to one: University of South Carolina-Columbia. There are only 3 public universities in South Carolina that offer a Social Work major, and SC is my top choice (and where I’ll most likely go) if accepted (which I think I have a good chance at, since Social Work is such a small department at SC with only 143 undergrad students in the Social Work major, compared to the 30,000 student population at the school). I’m also an in-state student at a community college who has taken most of the gen. eds for the Social Work major, and I also have a 3.2 GPA, and the required major for admission to the Social Work program is a 2.25. I’d like to think that I have a decent shot at admission. Wish me luck!</p>

<p>As of right now, 4 schools. UIUC, UW Madison, Iowa, and Miami U (florida).</p>
