In the United States, most community colleges have the principle of proximity, that is, the nearest community college to a four-year university is generally the most convenient and easy to transfer credits. Like Santa Barbara
city
The popularity of College (hereinafter referred to as SBCC) comes from its close proximity to the University of California, Santa Barbara. Among the students who successfully transfer to Santa Barbara every year, the number from SBCC is always the first.
In addition, there are transfer agreements between two-year community colleges and many four-year comprehensive universities in the United States. When community college graduates meet the requirements in the transfer agreement (GPA, compulsory courses, etc. ), to ensure that in accordance with the provisions of the transfer agreement, transfer to a four-year comprehensive university to continue the third year of undergraduate study. Take California for example. The community college in California has transferred.
Admission guarantee (TAG), that is, guarantee transfer agreement. In addition to the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), the University of Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of San Diego (University of California, St.
Diego) has no transfer agreement with a few other schools and the competition is fierce. Most other universities in California have signed agreements with California State University. As long as you can complete the basic education courses and professional courses required by the target school, reach their GPA scores and submit an application, it is absolutely guaranteed that you can transfer to the school you want to go to.
Second, fully realize the importance of course selection and credits.
Be sure to find out which credits are recognized by four-year universities before choosing courses every semester. As for credits, each school's curriculum is different, so when transferring, some course credits can be transferred, some can't, and some can be transferred, but they are not necessarily the same academic weight. There is a certain credit requirement for transferring from a community college, and graduation from a four-year university is another credit requirement. If you want to graduate smoothly, you should be extra careful when planning courses.
Third, join a community to enrich college life and enhance personal experience.
Different from domestic universities, American universities attach great importance to students' comprehensive quality, social skills and spirit of making contributions to society. Internship, work, volunteers, achievements in activities and so on account for the vast majority of chapters in the application form, and the proportion of these activities used as reference in the final decision is almost equal to academic achievements. The application for university transfer is particularly important, which will directly let you fill in an experience about participating in activities. If there is no such social interaction, no matter how good the grades are, even if the GPA can reach a perfect score of 4.0, "Sorry, we don't need such students". On the contrary, many results are not the best, because experienced seniors who have been admitted to top schools abound. If you really can't find opportunities for social activities, then various clubs in the school are your best choice.
Fourth, actively use the school's free resources.
The school's free resources can not only help you learn English, choose courses, modify your resume, but also provide you with transfer information. The names of such service centers in each school may be different, but they all change.
Occupation, service and other words, such as student service.
Center. To some extent, school counselors are omnipotent. You can usually make an appointment in advance. Many places can also wait in line for random talks on the same day and wait for counselors to answer questions.
Academically, you can discuss with him what major is best for you; Which school has the best professional projects; How many credits are required for each specialized course; Ask him to help you arrange the class schedule to ensure the smooth transfer of credits; The application time of different schools ... in short, the consultant will provide you with anything you need, and if the consultant doesn't understand it for a while, it will help you find a more suitable person in charge.
Fifth, make good use of the Internet to obtain first-hand information.
For example, Assist.org:
This is a very useful website for students who transfer in California or want to transfer to California public universities. Assit provides the most accurate and up-to-date transfer information about California. It will clearly list the curriculum credit transfer system of California community colleges and other public schools.
When you have a thorough understanding of the above aspects and are fully prepared, you can apply to transfer to your favorite four-year university. I believe that after two years of unremitting efforts and careful preparation, the famous American schools are really not far from you!
Sixth, ask more people who have experienced it and take fewer detours.
In community colleges, special attention should be paid to being good at consulting people who have experienced it. Senior students and sisters, whether they have successfully transferred or are transferring, you can find them through various channels. These first-hand fresh experiences make up for the general standards given by the school and greatly increase your transfer success rate!
