The yearly De Anza College Transfer Day Fair was held October 24 at the Sunken Garden. Representatives from UC and State schools, as well as private universities were on location to assist prospective transfers. Tuition fees were a hot topic at the event. Tuition for an undergraduate can range from $12,000 to $40,000, varying by differing circumstances.
Students worried about the high cost can turn to financial aid in most cases. Help such as scholarships, grants, loans, workstudy, etc. is available or students can get the FAFSA information at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Popular majors in different schools might have special requirements. Student should do the research on their specific major.
UC hopefuls, should submit a well thought out personal statement, as it is important. The personal statement serves as a platform for the admission offices of the schools to get to know about one's unique background and interests.
Lean Brown, a representative from UC Los Angeles, said to students, "You should start your applications and personal statements early and don't wait until the last minute. The deadline is on November 30."
Most private and out-of-state schools have different application deadlines and requirements.
The Transfer Center is available to answer additional inquiries and is located on the 2nd Floor of the Student Services Building.
