student I am looking to improve my chances of getting accepted to the University of California. What is the probability of a transfer student getting accepted to a four-year university from a community college and what are the requirements?

Also, in fall 2016 at the University of Southern California 8,750 applications from transfer…

My decision to return to college was purely random. There was no pondering over the decision; no weighing in the pros and cons, no thinking it through or any real thought behind it. I literally woke up one morning and said to myself “I think I’ll go back to college” and I made the call. I called the College of New Rochelle and made the appointment for the admissions test. And before I knew what was actually happening, I was a matriculated college student. Now let’s back up a little to a time…

A third area that funding is being directed to is athletic facilities and coaches’ salaries. Money is often spent on new practice facilities and locker rooms so that colleges can increase recruiting efforts. When colleges are able to acquire good players for their athletic teams they can increase revenue generated at the games. The problem is that the revenue generated doesn’t go back into the university’s system to fund education. The money instead goes to coaches’ salaries and bonuses along…

Due to the growing prevalence of cheating in a Higher Education setting, Universities should create and enforce legitimate repercussions to those students caught cheating, in order to avoid the collapse of Higher Education, as we know it today. As Professor Doom writes, graduating cheaters degrades the institution from which they come, no matter how sparse. While a degree is a degree, they are only as strong as the establishment from where they come. Students should realize that the degrees they…

to their, even you really want to go to the four-year university. Attending four-year university is much expensive than attending Communication College, so I gave up to transfer at that time because that is my only choice. However, time goes by, and gradually I can not help thinking to transferring and learn higher level study. How much I desire to learn instead of going back to Japan and starting a work. I really want to go to the university. To do that I need my family’s support, I knew it,…

One way or another we all had conceived a dream; dreams can be inspiring, but many times dreams can lead to disappointments. For instance, many times immigrants migrate to the United States to pursuit the “American dream” despite the risks they may encounter. Growing up I didn’t really hear “these stories” until later in life. Many families feel the need to go to el otro lado for better opportunities and to be able to provide to their families. Both of my parents are immigrants and just like…

Keisha Jenkins. According to the RMMDI (Abes et al., 2007, as cited in Patton et al., 2016) multiple identities may be differentially affected by contextual influences. In the incident at SPCC, Keisha, a Black female student, felt unsafe on campus and had to take time off from work because she felt particularly affected by the incident. Though Keisha’s other identities, such as her sexuality, may not have been salient in her experience of the incident, she felt that her identity as a Black…

people thinking it will have a negative impact on the college football games like it will turn into the NFL (National Football League). Issues of gambling will come to people’s minds when paying college football players like point shaving. Many universities make a lot of money off their football programs. It’s fair to say that players should get some money from the profit they raise from attendances and merchandise. That video games used their names or pictures on their games to sell, and most…
