Transfer admissions from one college to another have become a visible phenomenon in today's academic landscape. Many students are beginning to start their post-secondary education in a community or junior college with the intent on transferring to a four year institution. Some estimates show that well over half of American students who have earned bachelor's degrees have studied at more than one institution. Determining whether, when, and how to transfer has become a highly complex, costly, and often stressful process for many students. Selecting appropriate target schools, maintaining exceptional grades, taking the right academic courses, developing interesting activities and skills, planning summer experiences, and writing outstanding essays, which have taken on a significant role in transfer admissions decisions, can all make a major difference in gaining admission to the institution of their choice.
