Hey! I love the information you gave! When do you think is the best time to start your application process as a transfer and start mapping out your essays and stuff?
hi hi !! i’m currently attending community college and want to transfer next year after completing my associates .. my high school GPA was average but i currently have a 4.0 in the honors program at my community college. My dream is to go to a top school !! Do you have any advice/ have any info for community college students and transferring ? I’m also applying to Northwestern and Brown for reach schools
Hi! Unfortunately, I don't have any "extra advice." All of my advice, details, and tips that helped me are in the video. I hope the video helped! Good luck for applications & I hope you get into your dream school.
Hi Rhea, would you mind letting me know how you honed down on your “reach” schools? I find it difficult to differentiate them all from one another(they are all great afterall!)
Hi Rhea, was the 3 extracurriculars you listed the only ones you sent on the common app? Also, why did you include figure skating even though it doesn't match your theme? Thank you for the vid, it was very helpful!
Hi! Thanks for watching my video & the question: Yes, these 3 were the only ones I listed because I wanted my application to be extremely focused and I included a lot of detail for each extracurricular in the explanation portion. The reason I decided to include figure skating instead of another extracurricular that aligned with my interest in the gender gaps pertaining to public health was because I have been a competitive figure skater for 15 years, and I spent almost all of my free time at practice, competing, and traveling for competitions. I thought this was an important piece of information to include because figure skating is part of my personality and values. I also think it's interesting to have 1 or 2 things outside of the "main theme." This was also where I listed all of my awards & accomplishments for figure skating. Hope that helped!
Hiii, thanks for the video! I wanted to ask you what essays did you need to write to get into these colleges? I looked at the transfer application and couldn’t find a usual common app essay there, so I assume that it’s not required unlike at the first year application?
it's been a moment since i graduated from my undergrad, but when you transfer in the states, you have to go through the common app again. Additionally, each school should have their own specific essays.
Were your extracurriculars from high school, college, or a mix of both? I'm not sure how much of high school I should include in my app if I'm applying as a freshman
Hi! They are from my first 6 months in college. Personally, I focused on what I was doing in that first year of college to really build a theme and center my application. Figure skating could be consider a mix of both because I have been skating my entire life.
Hi! Unfortunately, I got a new computer and do not have access to any of my essays anymore. However, at 5:25 I talk about specific tips and essay advice. I also tell you the topic that I wrote about in detail. Thank you for watching & I hope this helped!
Hi , I just have a really simple questions . So for starters I’m currently attending a uni but am transferring to community college due to financial reasons . Do transfers from cc still have to explain their reasoning as to why they are leaving community college 😭 . I was just wondering if such a question still remain . And whether the essay of a cc student would be more about why they want to attend the university. It’s honestly just a general question and do I have to explain the reason as to why I left my previous institution… thank youuu
hi Rhea I notice that you changed your major when applying for transfer, so I wonder is it necessary to mention the reason for changing major in why transfer essay, or just mention that the new major is not available in current school?
HI! I just added the extracurriculars and stats in the description box above - hope that helps! I don't plan on disclosing my previous uni because I don't want to offend anyone or influence other people's opinions on that specific university, especially in future videos. However, I will say that it was a large, public university. Thank you for watching my video & I hope you get into your dream school!
Hi! all of that info is in the description section under the video. If you click show more its towards the bottom and I included my grades/ scores as well as my top extracurriculars. Hope this was helpful!
What if my other interests and passions are sort of separate from my major? I am a human bio major for pre-physical therapy and ofc I am passionate about the human body and how the recovery/healing journey of the body impacts human beings…buttt I’m also super passionate about creative things like film/videography, dance, photography, etc. Should I include both on my website or try to tie those interest back to human biology?
Hi! Great question: I think for a stronger application, it would be really interesting to see an application that ties these passions into your major, specifically how these interests strengthen your major! Film/videography, dance, photography, etc. definitely require critical analysis, learning about various theories, an understanding of political & social issues etc. that are really beneficial for a career in human bio for pre-physical therapy. I would pick one interest to elaborate on, so your application is more focused, narrow, and easier to the reader to follow. Hope this helped! Thanks for watching!
Hi! I am thinking of creating my own website or blog related to my own major. If you're okay with sharing, what was your website called? I would love to see what it was like as a reference.
Thanks for your reply Rhea! But I really cannot come up with an idea about the video introduction :( I guess if I submit a video that is not good, that will affect my application negatively. So, I would not submit it.
Hi! I did my freshmen year at a large public university and then transferred to Northwestern University for my sophomore, junior, and senior year. Towards the end of the video I give more info on my acceptances, rejection, etc. For privacy reasons and to be respectful of my prior uni and my friends + professors that are still there, I won't explicitly name that university but it was a large public university. Hope this helped!
@@rheadhar24 Yes! This is very helpful. I have already started watching these transfer videos. Northwestern was my top choice for journalism and I ended up not getting in. I am now at a large state school, but just based on the experiences I've had there so far and the freshman orientation, it doesn't feel right and I feel absolute dread about moving in. This video is incredibly helpful to try to boost my application this time around and potentially be accepted into Northwestern for my sophomore year.
I'm so happy for you! You seem like such a kind person and you're so pretty and I am so glad to hear you love your new school!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!

@@rheadhar24 thank you 😍💫
Hi great video it was really helpful. Would you say ap scores matter from high school?
Hey! Do you know if universitys look at perivous high school grades for freshman transfers?
Hi Rhea, was the 3 extracurriculars you listed the only ones you sent on the common app? Also, why did you include figure skating even though it doesn't match your theme? Thank you for the vid, it was very helpful!

Could you make a video reading your common app essay or any essay you wrote for your transfer application?

Should i appear for SAT or not if i have take transfer in mit like colleges??

Hi did you apply for financial aid?
hi Rhea I notice that you changed your major when applying for transfer, so I wonder is it necessary to mention the reason for changing major in why transfer essay, or just mention that the new major is not available in current school?
Hi! Personally, I think the more details you can give, the better the essay will be.
if you don't mind me asking, where did you transfer from?? you don't have to say specific school but like was it a state school or another elite?
i have the same question lol
what college did you transfer from and could you talk more about your stats and extracurricular pls?
HI! I just added the extracurriculars and stats in the description box above - hope that helps! I don't plan on disclosing my previous uni because I don't want to offend anyone or influence other people's opinions on that specific university, especially in future videos.

@@rheadhar24 thank you so much for responding queen
hi! what were your stats when you were accepted?

Hey Rhea! Thanks for your video :) I wonder when you applied to Brown, did you submit the video introduction?
Hi! I did not submit the introduction video, but I REALLY wish that I did.
Thanks for your reply Rhea! But I really cannot come up with an idea about the video introduction :( I guess if I submit a video that is not good, that will affect my application negatively. So, I would not submit it.
Hi Rhea! Why do you want to submit the video? Does that increase your chance to get in?
Which school did you come from and which school did you transfer to?
Hi! I did my freshmen year at a large public university and then transferred to Northwestern University for my sophomore, junior, and senior year. Towards the end of the video I give more info on my acceptances, rejection, etc. For privacy reasons and to be respectful of my prior uni and my friends + professors that are still there, I won't explicitly name that university but it was a large public university.
