<p>I am a community college student from OK
I was worried when i heard that there would be a really big disadvantage if we intended to transfer in Fall. 'Cuz I will receive my Associate of Science this fall?
They said it was hard for me to be admitted or receive any scholarships.
any comments?</p>
<p>Sounds to me like your counselors don’t know what they’re talking about, or they’re trying to keep you at the CC longer >:|
As far as I know, it’s more common to transfer in the fall than other quarters/semesters.</p>
<p>like wooyoung said, sounds like bs to me.</p>
<p>ive never heard of CC being a disadvantage at transferring. maybe things are diff in OK lol. im from cali and CC’s are big advantages for students to transfer. especially during the fall.</p>
<p>There is often limited scholarships for transfer students (with or without an AA/AS degree as part of the CC experience). Colleges regularly accept a certain number of transfer students each year. Stanford accepts about 20 transfer students per year, each of the UCs accept hundreds of transfer students each year. You just need to pick a set of matches (schools that you are in the upper 25% of their applicant pool - compare your stats with freshman admits or see if they have transfer stats available - for ex, UCLA posts their transfer stats and the ave transfer GPA is about 3.6, and then they list also ave GPAs by actual major).</p>
<p>With all that said, some college specifically have scholarship money for transfers. Time to start researching some target schools and start asking more specific questions about the transfer climate for each of your target schools.</p>
<p>I mean that I will apply in the Fall to be admitted and gone to uni in spring! It is not as transferring in the spring! I’m sorry for make u misunderstand!</p>
<p>not all UC’s admit students in the spring. but even then there is no difference that im aware of.</p>
