Admission & Transfer Process

Step 1

Before Uniprep

George had a hard time through his high school years. He took a GED test instead of finishing the school and decided not to attend college. However, four years after he got a job, he realized that he wanted a decent college degree for a better career.

Step 2

After Uniprep

George was not exactly a qualified candidate for a college in the first place. Thus, Uniprep suggested a transfer strategy -- attending a relatively less competitive 4-year college as a stepping stone, and then transferring to his dream school. George immediately enrolled to one of the Uniprep-affiliated colleges.

Step 3

Bridge School

After several counseling sessions with Uniprep, George started to dream of working in an Investment Securities company. Uniprep suggested him to take more business classes from another college as a non-matriculating student, in order to show his passion and capability to the admission officers. He studied hard with the Uniprep's professional tutors and was able to keep a perfect GPA, high enough to be on the Dean's List.

Step 4

Essays, Documents

Uniprep advised him to participate in an economics research program as an undergraduate intern. Since he successfully handled this immense responsibility, the recommendation letter he got from his supervisor was one of a kind, and his resume was professional as well. His final admission essay also reflected his unique philosophy in stock business, based on this research experience.

Step 5

Acceptance

After months of preparation, George finally received admission letters from UC Berkeley and University of Southern California. Now he is majoring in Economics, hoping to be an investment banker after he graduates.
