real talk: every college transfer student should hear this

[@CheyenneTrac]

Hi all!! I know it's college admissions season and if you're here watching this video considering the transfer student route, I highly recommend. If there is anything you want me to cover about college life, the college admissions process, how I got into USC, transferring from a community college, feel free to leave me a comment of what you would like to me talk about!

[@malahm9164]

I am thinking about doing this but unsure about what school I want to transfer to. I know that in order to transfer successfully without losing credits you have to do the right courses... do you know if there is a sort of blanket class plan that the good CA schools all mutually accept that would allow me to qualify for multiple colleges at once and I can decide from there?

[@CheyenneTrac]

@@malahm9164 I would recommend starting on GE courses! UC's and CSU's utilize the IGETC, which you can Google for those requirements. As for private CA schools, they usually have their own GE requirements but for the most part also follows what the IGETC outlines. If you have a few schools in mind, I would recommend looking up their GE requirements to see if there's anything in particular they look for :) hope that helps!

[@malahm9164]

Cheyenne Trac great advice, thank u so much!

[@turinreza]

you should pin your comment to the top.

[@wn8269]

hi cheyenne i hope ur well, just out of curiosity at what age did you transfer and would u say it'd be difficult for a 23 year old to fully experience the college life? i know it's a bit of a weird question but for me due to certain circumstances im expecting to graduate around 24 but will be transferring to uc at 23 and havent had a chance to experience college life. i really want that hogwarts harry potter type wizardry waking up every morning excited type vibe idk if that's too much

[@sincerely_moni]

This is 100% me! I'm 23 in community college and waiting on my transfer decision from the one & only school I applied to while everyone from "my class" is graduating this year.. but this validates that I'm not alone

[@bigupbig2198]

This is me I applied to one school and just got the email of being waitlisted now I have to wait 2 more months to see if I get in fucking great

[@justcallmeteacup4711]

@@sincerely_moni You're definitely not alone! I'm 22 and just now transferring. Several family and friends my age are already talking about pursuing their master's 😅 it's awkward but I'm grateful I went to CC otherwise I'd have never found my passion

[@yaboyk1156]

This is going on right now, first week of class, class was on Monday and I cried after the day because a freshman asked me for advice of how not to make the mistakes I did in community college, and when I got into my car, I balled my eyes out in the car because I saw myself in him but also reflected on the past and where I’m at right now. I’m so nervous this week but also excited for this new journey. Thank you for this video.

[@krist6289]

I work for a community college in California - Orange Coast College. Thank you for sharing your thoughts especially how you are facing imposter syndrome. This is something I will definitely advise my students about. You are deserving of your spot at the university you transfer to and you bring an important perspective to your classmates. Statistics show that transfer students add so much value in terms of retention and graduation rates and universities do recognize that. Good luck. You got this!

[@roselynholloway7863]

How is working there

[@mrpenguin3133]

I’m on my second year at the university I transferred to and I never knew about the term “imposter syndrome” but thats exactly how I felt throughout my time here

[@natassiac.7051]

I'm transferring into Binghamton for the fall semester as a junior. I'm only 20 and haven't reached campus yet, but I still get this feeling like I'm behind and that I'm not as deserving of going to a good school. This video was really reassuring 🙏🏽

[@jenniibelle]

hey any updates? how’s life after transferring? I am a sophomore in community and I want to transfer to a university but I’m worried about the social life and not having known anyone 😭 afraid everyone’s cliqued up already

[@jjjlove2260]

Thank you! I needed to hear this. I can relate so much to wanting to do so many things in life, but at the same time feeling confused about my career paths every now and again. I hoping it all works out soon for all of us :)

[@aslaans.5654]

applied to transfer to USC and a few other universities this cycle, just waiting on decisions. thanks for this video, it was really reassuring.

[@delgande]

Where'd you get accepted?

[@fallinginfiction]

I’ll hopefully be transferring by spring of next year, so this video was definitely helpful and reassuring. Thank you. 😊

[@rizzzzj]

I feel relatable to many things on this video and comments here as I transfer to UBC from CC as age of 23. I even transferred to uni without knowing my major lol so the syndrome was real cuz everyone else was doing job hunting while I was still struggling learning about new field, which made me behind sm. But then I realized I will be able to do that at my own pace cuz literally, "everyone has own timeline"

[@runningintostyle]

Im transferring this year and this video helped ease a lot of what I was stressing about so thank you so much for this video

[@CheyenneTrac]

i'm so glad to hear that!! good luck in the transfer process :)

[@ashtastiic]

I’m currently a freshman who’s currently transferring to Rice and hopefully I can start the fall semester as a sophomore there! I’m so nervous and I had major imposter syndrome and I’m scared of the difference and difficulty of college work in the uni level. Thank you so much for this video! 💕😊

[@amarishuang2243]

Could I ask if you’re transferring from a CC or another 4 year? I’m also thinking abt transferring and idk what I should do the first few years before!

[@ashtastiic]

@@amarishuang2243 Yes, you can! I’m transferring from a CC. What questions do you have about first years?

[@amarishuang2243]

@@ashtastiic thank you!! I’m currently a senior in hs and I’m debating between going to my local state school vs CC for my first year and then transferring. I know the transfer process next year will probably be different depending on where I go, but I was wondering what you needed to complete your application? Was the personal statement essay for the transfer application similar to the one first year applicants (hs seniors) write?

[@ashtastiic]

@@amarishuang2243 No problem! Happy to help :) It all depends on which school you’re thinking of transferring to after you have gotten what you wanted from your CC. For example, the two universities in my city (unfortunately, there’s only two) use the Common App, and one of them doesn’t require that you answer essay questions, but Rice does that you do so. For example, as a transfer student, I had to answer the same exact questions that they would typically require for first-year applicants except, one of the questions was about why you wanted to transfer specifically there at the school and why you would make a great fit for them. Usually, they require they same thing that you would need as a first year applicant. Like your standardized test scores, high school/college grades, EC’s. It really depends on the school that you want to apply for. I actually wasn’t planning on transferring so soon this year, but I also thought about it for a while and decided that Rice was a great fit for my academics and generally, for myself.

[@amarishuang2243]

@@ashtastiic thank you so much!! that’s really helpful. I wasn’t really sure what the writing supplements and if I needed a personal statement, so your response helped me a lot. my next biggest concern was also whether or not my credit would transfer, at Rice did most of your CC credits transfer through?

[@airmarkvalladares7874]

I really needed this, I am transferring to a big university after a two year break, and I am nervous as hell.

[@nabi5864]

I transferred from Santa Monica City college to UCLA.... I was mentored by UCLA Alumni within my major and even had direct interactions with the current UCLA professors before tranferring ... This all made the settling in part absolutely smooth

[@eduardoaldas3739]

Excellent testimony! Your sincerity and real concern for helping other college students have some insight into transferring were spectacular.

[@daphnengu]

Thank you for this video! It really opened my mind because it feels like society is pressuring me to apply to top universities. There are so many things that I don't know yet, such as work-school balance, finance (tax), and many more. It's very good to be reminded that we all have our own paths to our careers, not everyone has to start straight into an elite university. So thank you so much! I really needed to hear it!

Community College Freshman here! This video made me feel SO SO validated! Lots of times I would have anxiety about transferring bc I planned on going to go CC for 2 years to get my Art Associates degree which means I would be a Junior by the time I go to a University/Art School. I worried that since I didn’t get to experience university as a freshman, so many people would be ahead of me and there are days where I beat myself up thinking that I should be good at what I do as an artist by now but yet I’m still learning to go better. So this really helped my anxiety to degree tremendously so thank you!🥹

3.9! I also talk about the other GPAs that were taken into consideration in my admissions in my my most recent video :)

My GPA in high school was 3.67, and my GPA in the first year of university was 5/4.88, and the SAT 1580. I have research in politics and sociology, a project on sustainability, and the author of novels. If I transfer, is it possible for me to be accepted into ivy?

[@stephanierobles440]

Do you think the rank of your current university is a factor of whether or not I will be accepted when I try to transfer to a more selective school?

[@mdsnmel]

i'm not sure if this plays a role in it, but I know more selective schools mainly look at the type of courses you took and how it compares to classes they have at their university
