If you are applying now or will be in the near future keep in mind that the application process can be made simple by planning ahead and by asking a lot of questions.
Many colleges use the same application form for freshman, returning students and transfer.
Fill it out completely and make sure it is as neat as possible. If you receive financial aid, you will need to submit both academic and a financial aid transcript to your transfer college. To be official, these transcripts must go directly from the registrar and financial aid office at one institution to the appropriate office at the college you are applying to. Besides faculty, employers or people you have worked with on community projects are good choices. The college generally wants to give you the space to write about aspects of your life that may not necessarily be on the formal application.
