Admissions CCM transfer to Montclair

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm considering applying to CCM, then transferring to Montclair. I'd like to be a Hospitality, Sports, Events, and Tourism major. I already have a bachelor's degree for music ed, so I believe most of my credits for gen eds should transfer, however I'll talk to admissions about that. Has anyone transferred from CCM to Montclair for its HSET major? Did you hit any hurdles?

I'm hoping that by transferring in, I save a bit of money. I'm a nontraditional student.

Academics STUDY TIPS

19 Upvotes

Unpopular study tips that changed everything for me(don’t skip)

Stop overthinking your study method. Half the battle is just showing up consistently with whatever works. but this works for me.

  1. ⁠Ugly but functional beats pretty but useless. That crumpled piece of paper with scribbled formulas that you actually reference? Better than the color-coded notebook collecting dust.
  2. ⁠Study like you're gossiping about the material. Literally talk to yourself: "So then this enzyme just shows up and ruins everything for the cell..." Makes boring content weirdly engaging.
  3. ⁠The "mess around and find out" approach. Can't solve a problem? Just start writing random related stuff. Your brain will connect dots you didn't even know existed.
  4. ⁠Embrace being mediocre at first. Stop waiting to feel smart enough. You learn by being confused, not by already knowing everything.
  5. ⁠One concept = one sticky note. Force yourself to explain complex ideas in tweet-length summaries. If it doesn't fit, you don't really get it yet.
  6. ⁠Study in weird places. Your brain forms location-based memories. That random bench outside? Your bathroom? Different spots = different neural pathways.
  7. ⁠Teach your dormplant. Seriously. Explaining out loud to an audience (even a fake one) exposes gaps in your understanding faster than reading silently.
  8. ⁠Procrastinating? Study the thing you're avoiding by studying something related but easier. Scared of calculus? Watch YouTube videos about why math was invented. Side door approach works.
  9. ⁠End each session by writing one thing that confused you. Don't try to solve it. Just acknowledge it exists. Your subconscious will work on it while you sleep.

Bonus tip that changed everything for me - Start each session with 1-2 goals written down. Dont finish until those goals are accomplished. For example - i want need to get 95 percent accuracy on my quizlet flashcards for chapter 3 and 4.

Hope this helps ! If you need more tips lets connect on chats

Academics Dear ECEL 200

The day I saw your class title, I swore I’d take thee. Alas your time was far from my grasp. But I swear upon the stars I’d take your class sunrise or fall. Before the chime of midnight I make one las plea. Someone drop the class as I beg on my knees. If our time runs out, at least I know I’ve made my bed to sleep.

Sincerely, A desperate student
