<p>I've seen them there a few times last year seeing people and I'm just wondering what they exactly do, like the one for UCSB that comes to Moorpark College if anyone knows exactly what they do and what kind of pull they have as far as admissions or financial aid or anything please let me know what's up</p>
<p>They are there to assist you with the transfer process in general, specifically to provide information and advice about the school they represent. No pull in admissions. </p>
<p>I saw a transfer counselor for the school I hope to be admitted to after applying this upcoming fall (Davis), and was walked through the online application, and TAG application as well as had major and college specific questions answered with more insight than my regular academic counselor at CC. She was also able to link me to additional scholarship resources and was a help at telling me places to see when I visited the campus.
Simply think of them as an extra cheerleader rooting for your success, and a wealth of information that you can hear firsthand.</p>
<p>I don’t think they can pull any strings in admissions or financial aid, but they can answer any question you can think of. They are also great when you need advice. They’ll tell you what they think will give you that advantage when applying. I know some of them even help you with your admissions essay.</p>
<p>Something you should be aware of also is that they’re not admission officers. They’re not the actual people that are going to be reviewing your applications, so just because you have any favorable interaction with them isn’t going to help you in the application process. They’re hired to promote the school and to answer questions you may have about the application process.</p>
<p>So they help you with the TAG, the application, give info about the campus and things to do, will answer questions about admissions (but do not personally participate on that process), encourage you to go to their campus instead of other campuses, and try to match you with scholarship resources at their campus so that if you have more funding there you are more likely to go there, and also occasionally assist with the personal statement?</p>
<p>So they’ll also pretty much tell you based on what they’ve seen over the years, your chances of admission?</p>
<p>Okay thanks for the answers</p>
