Fall 2024 Transfer Fair (Virtual)

I went into the UMD breakout room and it was a Q&A throughout the call talking about the requirements for some majors and what credits transfer

In this event I learned about different opportunities. Some of the things I learned was about Bowie State University are they don't know if all the classes will have an online or remove option. This is a good thing to know before hand so that I can be prepared with a mode of transportation. I also learned that their application is currently open till Fall 2025. Knowing this will help be prepared beforehand and to make sure I get everything I need to be done by then. Another thing I learned was about are scholarships. These include the Transfer Scholarship and I can apply for a donor scholarship. Being prepared and learning about this information before will help be a lot.

In this transfer fair, we learned a lot of things about universities. For example, I learned that the University of Maryland that they have appointments for advising. I also learned for UMBC that students can apply for scholarships and they require a GPA of 2.0. I feel like this information is important because we get information on transferring and university which is our future.

While attending for a second hour at the Transfer Fair, I was able to get answers to my questions regarding how to apply to MTAP and how I can speak to someone. I also got the page to see a 4 year plan regarding my major. I was able to get references to other majors that UMD College Park offers when waiting for a LEP.

I learned alot about how to transfer and who to contact and what to expect.

I had a great experience at the Fall 2024 Virtual Transfer Fair! It really helped me understand how to smoothly transition to my dream four-year university after finishing my associate’s degree. It eased a lot of my worries about getting in, finding scholarships, and even sorting out housing. Plus, the session was well-organized and packed with helpful info, making it easy to compare different universities.
