You should consider applying to Occidental College! its a great liberal arts college in Los Angeles, with excellent programs, professors, and alumni. I transferred here myself and I am incredibly happy that I did. Occidental is one of the top liberal arts colleges in the nation, with some of the most interesting and inspiring students and professors. Also, Oxy is incredibly generous with their financial aid packages and they love transfer students. I think you would fit in well here and enjoy your last two years of college!
Jessica Murphy Glad to hear you are applying! To answer your question, I would say yes and no. It's hard because as a transfer you miss out on the first year experience (if you're coming in as a sophomore). When you're a first year nobody knows anyone and everyone is just trying to make friends. So when you transfer in as a sophomore there are some established friend groups and people have already been seeing each other around campus for over a year. But Oxy is a great community and if you put yourself out there by talking to people, smiling at people, and just being a friendly person it won't be hard to make friends. Also, classes here are small (between 10-30 students) so you'll get to know the people you have classes with pretty well. Just don't be afraid to talk to people, everyone here is really nice. And remember that making genuine friends takes time, and although you may feel alone at times true friends will come.
you might want to consider doing a semester or two at community college. it's so much cheaper and you can finish all of your gen eds there and only have to pay for a year and a half to two years of college. also getting good grades in community college is much easier and it helps your application a lot more. i failed out my first semester and i knew no schools would accept me with my gpa so i did a semester at my local community college and got As and got accepted into a good school for the following year. you also have time to work and save money and think about what your goals are for university.
If your study abroad credits are on your loyola transcript, you do not need to list the institution you were at in France because they are considered Loyola classes on your transcript and not transfer credits. I studied abroad last semester so I've talked with a lot of advisors about how my credits from abroad work and it sounds like our universities do the same thing. Good luck on your applications!
i'd recommend you check out FIT. it's a SUNY school in nyc & the first 2 years are community college priced! they have both communications and film programs.
It's true, everyone's college journey is messy in some regard. Just remember that employers don't care how long it took you to get your degree, they just want to see that you graduated!
Oh man, poor you 😭 Applying to universities is actually the most stressful and annoying thing ever, and you have to customize your essays for each university. What on earth are you going to say about why that's the university you want to go to when you have to apply to so many? JUST LET ME FINISH MY EDUCATION
i’m so proud of you for continuing your education in spite of all these obstacles! no matter where you end up or when you end up there, you will be doing great things!
If you plan on going to a private university in NYC you should consider Fordham University. They have a beautiful campus and I've heard they have pretty good scholarships
I feel you, I transferred schools and majors 3 years in. Got into the new university, but then there's pre-reqs to start for the new major, steep requirements to even get into the upper level programs I need to graduate and so on..I'm done at this point but actually nowhere near done????/
This is my fear. I Need to transfer but.... I’m changing my major and that’s whole other pre-reqs and stuff the college won’t accept from before and I’m stressed and I haven’t even transferred yet
I don't know much about the university applications in the US. But I am trying to get a postgraduate scholarship abroad and it's really stressful and hard. I can relate, Good luck
have you looked at scad? it's def expensive & idk how easily transfer credits go through but they have a lot of cool majors & programs! im an ad major and i love it a lot & their film program is pretty dope and it could always be a minor. Also the application is super easy (at least the freshman one was) but i think you can use common app as a transfer! also have lacoste campus & hong kong which is so cool so yah idk if you'd be interested at all, but I def recommend looking if you'd want to! & if you ever wanna come tour or visit contact me & i will help you!
Been at a community college for 3 years with a shitty 2.6 gpa in business accounting, I'm trying to transfer this year but already got rejected from Cal state fullerton, SJSU and SDSU. I'm waiting on the answer of sonoma state, uc riverside, uc irvine but I know the future for that is grim. I cant do another year of community college smh
DementedEeyore64 this isn't always the case and as someone who went to both a private and public university I can assure that public schools may be cheaper but unless you're applying as an instate student it can just be as expensive as a private sometimes. On the other hand private schools are more expensive but can award you very good aid that can actually end up being cheaper than going to a state school.
Good luck with everything; it’ll will definitely be worth it in the end! I’m in my second year of college right now and am planning on doing an exchange in France next year (which is how I found your channel haha) Anyway love your videos and good luck with applications:)
I got into the best uni in my country, I didn’t go, no regrets. Uni is bullshit. You have 45k views, you know how many views I have - Zero . Uni doesn’t mean anything for success, so why bother with it? Just do a course enough to get the job you want, if you don’t get in, I mean. You will figure it out either way, Don’t stress
hey! i worked in my college's admission office, and if other colleges run things similarly to how we did, you probably should not list your exchange school if they didn't issue you a transcript. typically, if a school is listed but an accompanying transcript hasn't come in, the applicant stays in limbo for a while. and depending on the admission office's timeliness in communication, you might not be notified until it's late in the process. just my two cents!
I'm a senior and let me tell you IM AM SO OVER IT!! this whole process has been such a nightmare! My plan was to apply early action, I wanted to get done early not worry about it, had my fafsa, common app, both regular and supplemental essay done, had one of the letters done, However my schools required a counselor letter right...well I asked my counselor if she could write it, she said yes, BUT WAITED A FUCKING MONTH TO GET IT DONE, SO THEN AFTER EMAILS AND EMAILS, SHE FINALLY WROTE IT..AFTER THE FUCKING DEADLINE!!! So now I just finished my applications but one school hasn't emailed me back to confirm that they have my stuff, and when a I call, it is a computer machine and not a person at a fucking office. Then one school tells me my app is incomplete but won't fucking tell me what I am missing. 🌚
I’m a senior in high school and applying to a bunch of out of state school and finding places that offer my major (neuroscience & premed) and it’s so fucking stressful, but I’ve learned something fairly early on that hasn’t failed me yet and it’s: if you’re doing what you like to do, you’ll end up doing something you like. I think that lesson has just held especially true throughout my high-school experience and now into my college app experience. I’m no longer concerned with where I’ll end up or what I’ll do, because as long as I am currently doing something that makes me happy and pursuing *that*, I’ll be happy. And I think the same thing hold true for most people, do what you want and you’ll figure it all out :)
Hey! I have the same majors as you and just wanted to share the university I attend because the programs here are good, especially the neuroscience program. It's called George Mason University and it sits right outside Washington D.C. I am also an out of state student and I came here because the tuition here is below what an out of state price tag usually looks like but still provides and amazing quality education. We have our own Neuroscience research institute called the Krasnow Institute which is putting out amazing research.
This is so interesting to me because I live in New Jersey and there basically no requirements to transfer to a state school. I just spent the last four months going through the transfer process so I know how stressful it can be. Thankfully there is a law in New Jersey that basically says if you are transferring from a community college with your associates to a state school they have to take all your credits. So even though I haven't taken so of the prerec I need and have taken some class that the state school I am transferring to doesn't even offer, I am still transferring with 64 credits.
You do sound like your on the border of having an existential crisis, and man do I relate. I forget how old I am - 32 maybe? I literally don’t count. I’m FINALLY graduating with my bachelors degree at the end of January!
I was applying to transfer colleges last year and was getting rejected by one after the other (including my dream college that I had gotten into in high school but had some financial aid problems so I couldn’t go). I was depressed and miserable for ages until I heard back from the very last one and got in with aid. I’m so much happier and at peace now. Incidentally, I stumbled on the video you made last year about being rejected and related so much to what you were feeling. I’m so sorry you’re still going through this but I promise it’ll be okay. I’d make sure to check the transfer rates of the colleges you apply to, because some private colleges have low (1-5%) acceptance rates, which is the mistake I made. I wish you the best!!
This is so relatable. I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer and it is a frustrating process and it's stressing me out. I ended up just saying "fuck it" and only applied to one school, and waiting to hear back is the most nerve-wracking thing I've ever done. I just wanna get my degree and move on, ya know? I hope things go better for you this year!
also, a lot of those requirements for california schools are because most if not 90% of the transfers are from ca community colleges where students follow IGETC. and in the IGETC there are these classes and general classes that you are supposed to take to prepare you for college and they cover your general ed too. but at the same time they want you to take the prereqs for your major, which is why only some classes are required and not the whole IGETC.
I agree with the private school choice. I’m from NYC and I’m applying to SUNY schools to transfer but I’m also applying to 9 private/ out of state schools that give generous aid. After I got into schools my senior year of high school the private schools ended up cheaper than my state schools. I’m in my last semester of community college and I stopped writing my common app essay to each this video. I hope it all works out, it’s stressful. If you go on collegeessayguy blog, you can type it into google and just put transfer after it in the search and it’s the most helpful website
I went through a very similar situation. I was in nursing school almost done but I didn’t love it so I quit and changed my major to mass communication and media with a focus in journalism. It’s so broad and like you said applicable to different shit. It’s hard and I feel like I wasted money in nursing school, but I’m almost done and I’ll be doing shit I actually love which is v important. You’re smart and determined so you’ll figure it out too.
since you mentioned you're living in new york, branch out and take a look at some suny schools not just private!! they're great schools, and low cost tuition. from family and friend's experiences, they're quite easy to transfer into. best of luck to whatever you decide to choose tiff!
I just turned in my common app today and it was literally the best feeling in the entire world like holy shit it literally sucked the life and soul out of me
Most new england state schools don’t have bullshit pre reqs. I transferred from University of Vermont to UConn without any major problems with my credits. I know a lot of people who come to UConn from private schools and have no issues with their credits either. Maybe check out some public school programs up here! The Cal and UC programs are weird as fuck
I want to just say that people who do not want to waste their year after not getting in should really apply to a government college or university in India. or any other country in that rank. We might not have many liberal arts colleges but if you are sure about your subjects and ant a nice education especially in tech with guarantee of getting placement in campus. India is growing fast and the education here is getting advanced, people loudly talk about the stereotypes they hear, but it is no very different. The growth is evidence that large proportions of jobs and firms in 20s and 30s will be in India. hope students in future use this advice. Fees is also much lower here.
Tiffany, put all ur effort into Essays, even community colleges put all their minds into how well video essays are more so than HS grades. Every state. They look into grades, but they look for what you want in the future thru vid essays, I help people with that they wanna know who you are. If they didn't ask for an essay, then idk just helping! U can make up your credits in English to try again! Or go to second and third choice Universities. Hey I live in NYC, what area are you in> I'm from Brooklyn! We can be friends! Maybee even collab one day on beauty video, no pressure.
The University of Missouri has the best journalism school definitely! We have our own network-affiliated commercial broadcast station that students get to work at and actually report/produce real shows for all of mid-Missouri. Also we have the strategic communication emphasis in the j school that is really good for social media/PR/digital stuff. (:
I literally am going through this now! I just got my associates in video arts and technology but was never passionate about my film classes, only my media classes. I’m currently trying to transfer to an animation or visual arts major at a cal state or uc from nyc and it’s a struggle!!!! Just crossing my fingers at this point ._.
Are you sure that your AP's don't count as English Requirements for the UC's? I know at least at Berkeley, if you get a 5 on AP Literature you have passed out on both English requirements and do not need to take English at all.
I personally go to UC Berkeley and I know for a fact that you can skip out on the English requirement entirely with just a 5 on AP literature. Hopefully Tiffany can see this and be able to apply to some UC’s! :-)
yeah I transferred to a private school in my senior year so I would've been screwed if my school had any sort of specific course requirements. thankfully they had none because it was a program specifically for nontraditional students
Okay, so I applied to colleges back in November 2016, right out of highschool, when the country, politically was going to the dogs. My stressing and procrastinating on applications was actually what caused me to find your channel (the rejected from every college video caught my eye). So, me bring a lazy, stubborn doof took my SAT w/o essay, not realizing that UC's (I live in CA) now required them, so come the final week of Novrmber, I hadn't applied to a single school, and just zipped through 6 CSU apps in 2 days, hoping to get in somewhere, I got 3, and am attending CSUF right now :) Good luck girl !!! :D
Man, I'm in the same boat. Been in school for like a little over 5 years now, had to move to LA and even if I get a transfer acceptance, it's going to set me back way more than I'd like. Especially considering that I had less than 20 credits to graduate before at my last college, but circumstances didn't allow me to finish there
Good luck!! Im actually in the same situation right now. I have to study for 4 exams to get in different major(s) because I have a bachelors degree in massmedia and communication, wich I dont want to continue (but It was great, dont regret anything :D ). So... the stress. Love your (not only) school related videos and the podcast is BOMB!
I feel you on the stress, it might not be bad idea to contact Loyola about transferring study abroad credits if you're unsure. Also, don't know if this is something you'd consider but a lot of schools in NYC (and elsewhere probably) offer continuing education courses that are pretty much exactly the same as what students take and are taught by the same faculty but for a fraction of the price. You don't have to fill out an application or be a graduate, you just take them. I know NYU and SVA offer a bunch. You won't get a degree, but sometimes in certain feilds (esp creative ones) it's more about what you can do and not what degree you have. Anyway, just thought I'd mention that but do ur thing. Good luck with everything!
We all have a mess up college experience, but I think you shouldn’t pay money to transfer your AP scores, I think they are a waste of time. I hope you do get accepted, but if that doesn’t work out, have you consider going to a community college. Because that’s what I did , then I was able to transfer because my Gen Ed were similar to my college and it was easy to transfer my credits. But please honey don’t give up, I know it’s a pain in ass. Just have faith and believe in yourself. 🙏🏾
I hope everything works out for you tiffany !!! Your college experience has been so wild so far and very complicated it seems. I am a freshman in college, I am 20 because I took a gap year after high school. I am an English major and I'm also kind of confused about what I want to do in the future but I think I may minor in journalism as well! Best wishes!!!
I can relate so much to this!! I'm moving to Seattle from New Orleans next fall so I am hoping I get accepted to at least one of the schools I've applied to! Transfer applications are the worst but waiting to hear back is even worse! Good luck!!!
I'm in the transferring process right now and you're right. This ish is so hard and thinking about it is a recipe for a mental breakdown. I don't know how to answer these essay questions, I've sent my SAT scores wayy too many times these past two years that I'm afraid of totaling the costs. Thankfully my last deadline is feb 6th, too bad I still have an essay to write. Can it be summer already?
you'll be just fine! I did a complete 180 after a year and a half and I will graduate on time and everything. also I'm shocked at how many graduates I know working in an area not even related to their major. communications and media will be widely marketable :)
Girl I feel. I’m applying to grad programs and it’s literally the most stressful:irritating thing in the world. They make it so hard to get anything done 🙄 good luck!’
hey! im working on transferring to an art school in LA (that i can't afford but i want to see how much aid they'll offer to see if it'll be worth it) and the apps are so confusing! all i do is call them, figure out who's job it is to help people with this shit (bc it's someones job) and then get their email bc talking on the phone is dumb. i dont want it to sound like im telling you what to do, that's just been really helpful for the approx. 1 million questions i've had about the process. good luck dude~
Why don't you go to community college and take english courses and then transfer to UC schools? You can possibly even do a mini course which its only 8 weeks a class
Lol I'm doing my applications right now. Getting sick and tired of talking about how passionate I am about this and that and this and that and this and that.
also there are some super helpful videos on writing your essays for the personal insight questions!! hope you get in! i'm also waiting to get word back from colleges since i'm a transfer student too!
I go to unlv and we have a lot of majors if you ever want to consider it...also there's a lot opportunities here in Vegas...it's not in cali but to consider it...also there a re a lot of scholarships u can earn
I love this college series you are doing and your podcasts! I’m a high school senior and going through all the motions of college and applications and it’s extremely stressful so it’s nice to see I’m not the only one terrified of what’s going to end up happening
I am a senior and I just applied to 18 colleges so I definitely feel your pain. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go anywhere yet, but I’m hoping for the best. Good luck 💖💖
Also if you have a question just call the admissions office of the school you’re applying to!! They’ll know how to help you accurately classify information on your transcript and things like that.
Private universities are so expensive and one year at a private college is like four or more at a public. I would look at going to CSU Long Beach for film. It's one of the best in the country plus it's a hell of alot cheaper.
Or CSU Northridge. Plus those classes that you need aren't that difficult you can always right appeal letters and take the classes you need while you are attending there. Yes and list all schools you where at.
Third times the charm Tiffany you will get in somewhere I have a good feeling! Can you do your skin care routine ? Your skin is perfect! You're so naturally pretty!
I think it's about COMMON SENSE. This is a 30 year PLAN. Money FIRST. People INVEST in you. Funds come first. I am HIGHLY FUNDED. Why my interests is curious.
Loving all the pen-in-hand videos honestly
I just hope you graduate before me lol. You worked so hard and you deserve the best tiff. Love youu

It’s hard and I feel like I wasted money in nursing school, but I’m almost done and I’ll be doing shit I actually love which is v important. You’re smart and determined so you’ll figure it out too.
since you mentioned you're living in new york, branch out and take a look at some suny schools not just private!! they're great schools, and low cost tuition. from family and friend's experiences, they're quite easy to transfer into. best of luck to whatever you decide to choose tiff!
I just turned in my common app today and it was literally the best feeling in the entire world like holy shit it literally sucked the life and soul out of me
Most new england state schools don’t have bullshit pre reqs. I transferred from University of Vermont to UConn without any major problems with my credits. I know a lot of people who come to UConn from private schools and have no issues with their credits either. Maybe check out some public school programs up here! The Cal and UC programs are weird as fuck
I want to just say that people who do not want to waste their year after not getting in should really apply to a government college or university in India. or any other country in that rank. We might not have many liberal arts colleges but if you are sure about your subjects and ant a nice education especially in tech with guarantee of getting placement in campus. India is growing fast and the education here is getting advanced, people loudly talk about the stereotypes they hear, but it is no very different. The growth is evidence that large proportions of jobs and firms in 20s and 30s will be in India. hope students in future use this advice. Fees is also much lower here.
good luck t-ferg im sure it will all work out!!!
Your lighting makes your eyes look like Kaa's from the Jungle Book
I'm at loyola right now in the film department and i want to kms. I want to transfer so bad but I'm nearly done.
Colleges might reject you, but we (your viewers) don't
Tiffany, put all ur effort into Essays, even community colleges put all their minds into how well video essays are more so than HS grades. Every state. They look into grades, but they look for what you want in the future thru vid essays, I help people with that they wanna know who you are. If they didn't ask for an essay, then idk just helping! U can make up your credits in English to try again! Or go to second and third choice Universities. Hey I live in NYC, what area are you in> I'm from Brooklyn! We can be friends! Maybee even collab one day on beauty video, no pressure.
Alisa Karter I’m from Brooklyn too! I’m watching this video at The library in grand army plaza
Mega awesome I don't live too far from there.
Move to Costa Rica where life is easier 🐬🤙🏽
Hope for your part you get into a good college.
The University of Missouri has the best journalism school definitely! We have our own network-affiliated commercial broadcast station that students get to work at and actually report/produce real shows for all of mid-Missouri. Also we have the strategic communication emphasis in the j school that is really good for social media/PR/digital stuff. (:
I literally am going through this now! I just got my associates in video arts and technology but was never passionate about my film classes, only my media classes. I’m currently trying to transfer to an animation or visual arts major at a cal state or uc from nyc and it’s a struggle!!!! Just crossing my fingers at this point ._.
I love your eyes
i live in nyc. u should try the new school and fordham
Goodluck to everyone!
Are you sure that your AP's don't count as English Requirements for the UC's? I know at least at Berkeley, if you get a 5 on AP Literature you have passed out on both English requirements and do not need to take English at all.
Sijia Zhang some schools don’t take AP grades as transfer credits
At 1:58 the caption says they only accept ONE English ap score for transfer students. She had to take a class to fulfill the second semester English.
I personally go to UC Berkeley and I know for a fact that you can skip out on the English requirement entirely with just a 5 on AP literature. Hopefully Tiffany can see this and be able to apply to some UC’s! :-)
Taylor is dat u :/
Try athabasca university! It's an online university and you can take individual courses and programs!!!
yeah I transferred to a private school in my senior year so I would've been screwed if my school had any sort of specific course requirements. thankfully they had none because it was a program specifically for nontraditional students
Okay, so I applied to colleges back in November 2016, right out of highschool, when the country, politically was going to the dogs. My stressing and procrastinating on applications was actually what caused me to find your channel (the rejected from every college video caught my eye). So, me bring a lazy, stubborn doof took my SAT w/o essay, not realizing that UC's (I live in CA) now required them, so come the final week of Novrmber, I hadn't applied to a single school, and just zipped through 6 CSU apps in 2 days, hoping to get in somewhere, I got 3, and am attending CSUF right now :) Good luck girl !!! :D
Man, I'm in the same boat. Been in school for like a little over 5 years now, had to move to LA and even if I get a transfer acceptance, it's going to set me back way more than I'd like. Especially considering that I had less than 20 credits to graduate before at my last college, but circumstances didn't allow me to finish there
Good luck!! Im actually in the same situation right now. I have to study for 4 exams to get in different major(s) because I have a bachelors degree in massmedia and communication, wich I dont want to continue (but It was great, dont regret anything :D ). So... the stress.
Love your (not only) school related videos and the podcast is BOMB!
I feel you on the stress, it might not be bad idea to contact Loyola about transferring study abroad credits if you're unsure.
Also, don't know if this is something you'd consider but a lot of schools in NYC (and elsewhere probably) offer continuing education courses that are pretty much exactly the same as what students take and are taught by the same faculty but for a fraction of the price. You don't have to fill out an application or be a graduate, you just take them. I know NYU and SVA offer a bunch. You won't get a degree, but sometimes in certain feilds (esp creative ones) it's more about what you can do and not what degree you have. Anyway, just thought I'd mention that but do ur thing. Good luck with everything!
you should check out Marymount Manhattan college, it’s a small private school with an amazing communications program (lots of internships) !! :)
We all have a mess up college experience, but I think you shouldn’t pay money to transfer your AP scores, I think they are a waste of time. I hope you do get accepted, but if that doesn’t work out, have you consider going to a community college. Because that’s what I did , then I was able to transfer because my Gen Ed were similar to my college and it was easy to transfer my credits. But please honey don’t give up, I know it’s a pain in ass. Just have faith and believe in yourself. 🙏🏾
I hope everything works out for you tiffany !!! Your college experience has been so wild so far and very complicated it seems. I am a freshman in college, I am 20 because I took a gap year after high school. I am an English major and I'm also kind of confused about what I want to do in the future but I think I may minor in journalism as well! Best wishes!!!
I can relate so much to this!! I'm moving to Seattle from New Orleans next fall so I am hoping I get accepted to at least one of the schools I've applied to! Transfer applications are the worst but waiting to hear back is even worse! Good luck!!!
Dude I live my whole life by "It's a mess but it's like, oh well"
I'm in the transferring process right now and you're right. This ish is so hard and thinking about it is a recipe for a mental breakdown. I don't know how to answer these essay questions, I've sent my SAT scores wayy too many times these past two years that I'm afraid of totaling the costs. Thankfully my last deadline is feb 6th, too bad I still have an essay to write. Can it be summer already?
I REALLY like when you do university transfer videos, because I'm going through the same thing but as a freshman. Please do more
you'll be just fine! I did a complete 180 after a year and a half and I will graduate on time and everything. also I'm shocked at how many graduates I know working in an area not even related to their major. communications and media will be widely marketable :)
Girl I feel. I’m applying to grad programs and it’s literally the most stressful:irritating thing in the world. They make it so hard to get anything done 🙄 good luck!’
hey! im working on transferring to an art school in LA (that i can't afford but i want to see how much aid they'll offer to see if it'll be worth it) and the apps are so confusing! all i do is call them, figure out who's job it is to help people with this shit (bc it's someones job) and then get their email bc talking on the phone is dumb. i dont want it to sound like im telling you what to do, that's just been really helpful for the approx. 1 million questions i've had about the process. good luck dude~
Why don't you go to community college and take english courses and then transfer to UC schools? You can possibly even do a mini course which its only 8 weeks a class
YOURE SO FREAKING CHILL ITS CRAZZZYYY also ur gorg!! 🦄💖💙💜
Lol I'm doing my applications right now. Getting sick and tired of talking about how passionate I am about this and that and this and that and this and that.
also there are some super helpful videos on writing your essays for the personal insight questions!! hope you get in! i'm also waiting to get word back from colleges since i'm a transfer student too!
I go to unlv and we have a lot of majors if you ever want to consider it...also there's a lot opportunities here in Vegas...it's not in cali but to consider it...also there a re a lot of scholarships u can earn
apply to fordham! and sarah lawrence!! literally only 3 minutes in so I hope u don’t mention them later but just felt like commenting lmao
Try playing KT Tunstall's song Someday Soon while u figure your sh*t out good luck!
I love this college series you are doing and your podcasts! I’m a high school senior and going through all the motions of college and applications and it’s extremely stressful so it’s nice to see I’m not the only one terrified of what’s going to end up happening
if u have any questions about dodge @ chapman let me know! I'm a freshmen PR & ad major and I love it!
If you can, you should try to visit some of the schools you are interested in. That really helped me when I was writing my transfer essays.
Literally going through the exact same process rn! private schools in cali and everything. transferring is a hot ass mess
aw was hoping you'd transfer to UCSC at the same time as me and we'd be friends. :-((
ya you would need the two english courses for all uc's and cal states. i'm not sure for privates but a lot of them want those classes too.
Good luck with your apps. I hope the schools love you like some tasty bacon.
as another transfer student the process is hard! waiting til june sucks but you got it girl
i go to tulane i am willing to march across the street over to loyola rn and demand these answers lol
You will get through this Tiffany 👍👍👍
But I am still confused about what year you are ?
n y u n y u
Have you considered The New School?
What did you do on your gap year? I’m on a gap year now ☺️
anyone else think she sounds a bit like kesha??
have you thought about schools in FL?
Thanks i was waiting for this video 🔥🔥❤❤
Mine was messy! Lmao good luck
I am a senior and I just applied to 18 colleges so I definitely feel your pain. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go anywhere yet, but I’m hoping for the best. Good luck 💖💖
Also if you have a question just call the admissions office of the school you’re applying to!! They’ll know how to help you accurately classify information on your transcript and things like that.
Good luck!
Got it.
Private universities are so expensive and one year at a private college is like four or more at a public. I would look at going to CSU Long Beach for film. It's one of the best in the country plus it's a hell of alot cheaper.
Or CSU Northridge. Plus those classes that you need aren't that difficult you can always right appeal letters and take the classes you need while you are attending there. Yes and list all schools you where at.
*write
Please, whatever you do, DON'T major in Communications!!!
Can you try for once playing video games . Lol
Third times the charm Tiffany you will get in somewhere I have a good feeling! Can you do your skin care routine ? Your skin is perfect! You're so naturally pretty!
Wishing you the best!
I think it's about COMMON SENSE. This is a 30 year PLAN. Money FIRST. People INVEST in you. Funds come first. I am HIGHLY FUNDED. Why my interests is curious.
