I am planning on transferring to another university but have done no courses from the major I desire to do because my current university doesn’t offer it. Do I apply as a first year or transfer student?
You will have to apply as a transfer. If you applied as a first-time student, you would be required to do everything a brand new student has to do - placement tests, orientation, first-year courses, etc. Any previous coursework would not be accepted so you would be retaking everything you already have completed. There really is no benefit to doing this.If you applied as a first-time student you would essentially be lying on the application. This could be found out later and it could have negative consequences.
Important question about transferring to another University?
I am currently in a small private university in North Carolina. It is accredited, but i was thinking of transferring to a bigger University, like BYU, I finished my freshman year, and now entering my sophomore year, I was thinking of transferring in my junior year, to begin at BYU as a Junior, so that in two years i can graduate. Do you think it is advisable to do so ? Also, will I finish in time ? The reason I want to do this is because BYU has an excellent Accounting program, and that's my major. Thanks.
Transferring to Michigan State University, Question regarding Communications Majors?
I am getting ready to transfer from Eastern Michigan University to Michigan State University. I am going in the business world once I graduate however I am unable to get into MSU's business school (GPA a bit too low). Even still, Communications seems to be a great choice for me as it has always really interested me. My question is, will a communications degree hinder my goal of entering the business world? Will larger businesses view a communications degree as inferior to a business degree? Any thoughts are appreciated
Can I transfer university twice?
First Question: You can transfer as many times as you want. I have transferred twice my self, but just know that you have a limit on how many credits you can transfer over. So you are risking in graduating at a later time and risking in retaking courses over. Second Question: No you will not be able to achieve 60 credits your first yr. 60 credits usually means junior year status, which means you need to complete at least two years of course work to achieve 60 credits. I don't understand why you need to go to UC Berkely and then Stanford? Why don't you just get 60 credits at the school your at now and transfer to Stanford from there? Third Question: Well first off you will not be able to transfer to U.C Berkely your sophomore year because you will not have 60 credits until your done with your sophomore year so you will need to transfer your junior year. This is why i'm advising you not to transfer twice and just some how get to Stanford from the school your are going to now. Your question: will I be regarded as the same transfer applicant like any other transfer applicants who have not transferred before? I mean, theoretically, do I have the same qualification as other transfers do?) This question is unclear. If you transfer your considered a transfer student and go through the same process all transfers go through. Qualifications should be stated in the school website, but usually requires 60 college credits in order to transfer.
Transferring from community college to university...?
Hey there folks, I am in 11th grade, and currently studying to take my SAT in May. I am going through all the study books and SAT prep guides, and I'm noticing that this stuff is really hard. Now, I'm not trying to be a downer or anything, but just realistic, and reality here is that I am probably not going to do very good on the SAT. So I had some questions about Community College. First of all, do they check your SAT scores? Will they decline to accept me if I do bad on the SAT? I definitely want to transfer to a university after community college, so how does that work? Do I stay at community college for 1 year, study a little bit more, take the SAT again and apply for a university? A lot of people say that you will save a lot of money if you go to community college for 2 years, and then transfer after that. Is that true, and if it is, then why is that so? Also, if I do end up staying in a community college for 2 years and then transferring, will I still have to attend university for 4 years? Therefore having to do a total of 6 years of higher education after high school? Or will I be able to get a bachelors in 2 years from the university, because I had already finished 2 years that the community college? Arrrgh! This whole college business is really confusing!
Questions about transferring from one college to another mid semester?
It is my second semester in college (freshman, spring term). I am moving away and curious to know how transferring would work. Since I am so new in college would they also need any high school testing scores? I know they will need transcripts sent from my current school but what else would normally be needed for the process?
How hard is it to transfer from a UK university to a US university?
That depends on the universities in question. Some U.S. universities are more connected and can handle transfer students from the UK better than others (especially if they are offering study abroad programs in the UK through establed agreements).First create your ‘MAP’M- Money (what is your expected limit?)Scholarships are awesome but they are not always easy to come by.A-acceptance ( how will you fitin on campus?)This means accepting your credits and views on Donald Trump. Some universities are more conservative or liberal than others.P-placement (knowing the state or region)Keeping in mind California universities are quite competitive to be accepted into now. Focusing on the location now will lead to the universities that are the best fitfor you.While I would recommend talking someone familiar with American graduate schools. Your best bet is to start doing independent research. A quick Google search for ‘The best universities for international students in the U.S. ‘ will let you know what to look for in universities not on the list.From there make your short list. Which I recommend should be no more than ten.Pay attention to the transfer requirements.You can go this website Welcome(Common app). It does not include every university that is transfer friendly but certainly helps for those that are.P.s. Do not be afraid to email your questions to a university. Sense visiting will possibly be a challenge it is a faster and cheaper way to get your questions answered.Best of luck!
Questions about community college transfer?
Okay, so I'm a junior in highschool now and I am confused about how cc transfers work in California. -So let's say you take 2 years of cc then transfer, do you take four more years at university after the two years or do I just take the remaining two years for credits? - what classes would I take at cc? Like my general courses such as math, english...? -do you get a degree of some sort after you complete cc or do you just go to four year university to get bachelors after cc? -how do I transfer from cc to four year university? -how do I tell my mom that cc isn't as bad as she thinks it is. She expects me to get a schlorship and go to a four year university, but I frankly don't believe that would happen because its very hard to get a scholarship. So how can I approach this to her without her getting mad? Thank you for taking the time to read this thank you.
Transferring To a University after one year of community college?
To underscore an earlier post I made of how hard transferring into top universities is, here is a list of transfer acceptance rates for 2012. As you can see, every top 12 school accepts less than 10% of transfer applicants. Most of these numbers have dropped since 2010, and I am 99.9% confident they are going to decrease even further in 2013. In other words, second chances at prestige are going to disappear in the near future. Unless you are already at a top 25 school, you can almost always write off any chances at top 12 colleges, even with perfect grades, stellar recommendations, and amazing extracurriculars. There is good news. For students who failed to get into a top 25 school as a freshman, there are opportunities at redemption for transfers with high college grades. I'm talking about schools like Rice, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, and Emory. You will notice most of these schools lie outside of the top 15, and their backdoors are shutting fast. I predict the "boundary" for transfer students will be pushed outside of the top 20 within the next 2 or 3 years, so you better apply for transfer while you still have a decent chance. Below is a condensed list of the transfer acceptance rates, followed by a more detailed list with freshman acceptance rates, differential between freshman and transfer, and last year's transfer rate. Harvard University: 1% Princeton University: 0% (No transfers) Yale University: 2% Columbia University: 5% California Institute of Technology: 6% Massachusetts Institute of Technology: 9% Stanford University: 4% University of Chicago: 4% University of Pennsylvania: 9% Duke University: 2% Dartmouth College: 3% Northwestern University: 8% Johns Hopkins University: 11% Washington University in St. Louis: 7% Brown University: 11% Cornell University: 21% (Skewed due to guaranteed transfers) Rice University: 20% Vanderbilt University: 31% University of Notre Dame: 40% Emory University: 28% University of California - Berkeley: 22% Georgetown University: 11% Carnegie Mellon University: 12% University of Southern California: 25% University of California - Los Angeles: 26% University of Virginia: 35% Wake Forest University: 26% ~David
