Workshop Description:
Thinking about transferring to Stanford from community college and wondering what it really takes—academically, financially, and personally? Hear it straight from current and recent Stanford transfer students as they share the steps they took from local campuses to The Farm. You’ll learn how they built rigorous course plans, balanced jobs and family, found mentors, and turned everyday experiences into compelling stories for essays, recommendations, and interviews. We’ll discuss choosing classes that demonstrate readiness for upper-division work, securing research and clinical opportunities as a pre-med, navigating timelines, and making smart use of advising. Panelists will also cover financial aid, scholarships, work-study, housing, and what day-to-day life looks like after transfer—study strategies, finding community, imposter syndrome, and wellness. You can come, ask your questions and get answers specific to your situation. Most importantly, come hear directly from the source instead of second hand or bad information or people that have no clue about the admission process. Whether you’re early in prerequisites or preparing to submit, you’ll leave with concrete next steps, a clearer sense of fit, and practical tips to present your strongest, most authentic application from community college to Stanford.
