Fullerton College Transfer Fair: What to Expect?

Has anyone been to the transfer fair at Fullerton College? I'm thinking of going and would love to know what to expect and how to make the most of it. Any tips or experiences would be awesome!

As someone who's helped many students prepare for transfer fairs, I'd suggest that you first start by researching which colleges and universities will be attending this fair. This will give you an idea who you'd like to meet with to discuss potentially transferring.

Take time to prioritize the schools you're most interested in - you might not have time to speak with everyone. Aim to ask specific questions about each institution's transfer policies, majors or programs of interest, financial aid and scholarship opportunities, housing, and the general campus culture.

It also wouldn't hurt to start putting together your 'elevator pitch,' which is a concise introduction that includes your academic interests, career goals, and what you're looking for in a potential transfer school.

Here's how you could structure your day:

1. Arrive early if possible, as booth representatives will be most alert and attentive.

2. Focus initially on your 'top priority' schools - devote your energy to these discussions while you're fresh.

3. Take thorough notes directly after each conversation - after talking to multiple representatives, things may start to blend together.

4. Towards the end, if you have time, explore options you initially considered lower-priority. You never know what opportunities may present themselves!

To wrap up, follow up with the representatives you talked to. They meet many people during these events, and showing your continued interest will make you stand out. A quick email expressing appreciation for their time and any further questions will serve you well.
