Applying to Private Colleges | |
Considering Applying to a Private College?
Many private colleges and universities utilize a holistic approach to reviewing prospective transfer applicants. This approach usually considers your academics (e.g. GPA, enrollment, rigor of coursework), and personal qualities.
To learn about your personal qualities, universities may require personal essays and letters of recommendation.
You may consider participating in activities such as student government, volunteer experiences, internships, or work experience to enhance your learning and application materials.
For advice on getting a great letter of recommendation, read here.

Transfer Alumni Spotlight | |
Meet David Nunez
In 2022, David Nunez transferred to CSU Fullerton as a Journalism major.
What do you enjoy about your transfer university?
I really enjoy that compared to my workload at Fullerton College, my time as Cal State Fullerton is relatively easy and enjoyable. I think it is mainly because my journalism professors at Fullerton College prepared me so well with the basic building blocks that has helped me succeed at Cal State Fullerton and my journalism internships.
What transfer advice would you give to future FC transfer students?
Talk with your counselors frequently and often! They will guide you on your path to transferring and will let you know about important due dates for things like paperwork or applying to schools. Also visit the transfer center as well! All of these resources are available to you as Fullerton College students and are designed to make your transfer a seamless, stress free, process.
