The priority application period for fall 2011 admission to a California public university has almost ended. Tonight, at 11:59pm, there will be students online hoping to hit the submit button before the application sites shut down for what will likely be a year.
If you're reading this post after the deadline has expired, consider this a cautionary tale and plan ahead for the application period next year between October 1-November 30, 2011 for California State University campuses and November 1-30, 2011 for University of California campuses.
The following steps will increase your likelihood of being admitted to a CSU or UC campus in fall 2012:
1. Meet with a counselor to discuss your transfer plans and/or attend a "Transfer Ready" workshop in the University Transfer Center (check www.grossmont.edu/transfercenter for spring 2011 workshop dates)
2. Choose your major and transfer institution in spring 2011 so you can develop an educational plan for completing all transfer requirements by the end of spring 2012
3.Write out a semester by semester plan that includes all the courses and units you need to complete by the end of spring 2012
4. Check the Transfer Center website or Facebook occasionally to make sure you are up to date on the latest transfer information
5. Research and apply to more than one campus so you are more likely to be at the university by fall 2012
6. Attend a CSU or UC application workshop early in the application priority period and submit your application as soon as you get all your questions answered
