Jacob

Hi! I’m Jacob, a fourth-year Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics (MIMG) major at UCLA. My transfer journey began at UCSB, where I was originally a pre-biology major. While there, I had the chance to work as a general chemistry lab learning assistant, helping over 50 students through hands-on lab work. I also briefly tutored 7th and 8th graders in debate, teaching them how to adapt and approach problems strategically—something I’m really passionate about.

 

When I decided to transfer, I quickly realized how overwhelming the process could be. There were limited resources, unclear course requirements, and it felt like there wasn’t much of a support network. But through trial and error, I figured out how to plan my courses, craft a narrative for my application, and manage my coursework.

 

Now, I’m a learning assistant at UCLA, working with biochemistry students to help them better understand the material and problem-solve in a way that sticks. I’m also a research assistant for the Magnetic Resonance Research Labs at the David Geffen School of Medicine, and I’m currently working on getting my EMT certification as part of my pre-med journey.

 

At UniSpring, we want to help you overcome the same obstacles I faced during my transfer process. Whether your reason for transferring is academic, personal, or something else entirely, we’re here to help guide you through it all, step by step.
