Hi,
I’m currently a student at a community college in my 2nd year (3rd semester). I have completed roughly 30 credits or so.
I am starting to do my research for schools I want to transfer to and have a few basic questions…
Is there a window of time when universities accept admissions. For example, I want to apply for Fall 2016, a school I am considering (SUNY Binghamton) says the deadline is May 2016. However can I just apply now? Or do they start accepting applications later?
My current GPA is 4.0, do I apply before completing my associates? I still have 2 semesters to go, and I hope to keep my GPA, however will the school still accept me when I still have 2 semesters to go?
Also could someone explain the application process to me step by step (I did do my google research, just want to hear first hand).
Since I will be applying to at least dozen schools, how do I efficiently use my time…
- Do I mail each University a package containing the physical application form and my essay? Where does my essay topic come from or can I choose to write anything?
- Also the transcripts from my CC will have to be officially sent over right so there is no point in me obtaining a physical copy for myself?
- What about my extra curricular activities, I hold an executive position in the student council, how do I show them that? In the essay or is that somehow included in my transcript?
