GPA scores are a combination of high school scores and undergraduate scores to evaluate competitiveness. Whether you apply in the United States or transfer to another school, the GPA generally reaches 3.7. If you want to transfer to a good school or a hot major, GPA requirements will be higher.
Most schools do not need to provide SAT/ACT scores, but providing good SAT/ACT scores can help you get extra points when applying. Especially when applying for top universities, it will undoubtedly add icing on the cake to your application. At the same time, you need to submit TOEFL scores, and the transfer requirements are the same as those of Shen Meiben. The top 20 institutions should be at least 1 10, and the top 30 institutions should be at least 100. If your grades are good and standardized in this freshman application season, but the application results are not satisfactory, you can try to change from freshman to sophomore and strive for the first two schools.
Second: Don't treat the additional materials rudely: Write the paperwork as required.
Documents are also a very important element in the transfer application. Transfer documents can be divided into three parts, the first is the main document of CA, the second is the reason for transfer, and the third is the additional document of the school. Among them, why to transfer and why the school is the most difficult in the attached documents. Everyone should determine the final target school as soon as possible, so that they can start writing early.
Compared with the freshman application, the recommendation letter of transfer application is a little more complicated. There are generally three kinds of transfer recommendation letters, namely academic recommendation letters, personal recommendation letters and professional recommendation letters. The corresponding referees are school teachers, classmates and friends, and off-campus staff, among which the recommendation letter from university teachers is generally more important.
Third: Don't ignore the importance of activities. American universities are not just for top students.
In migration, activities play an important role in making up for the deficiency of standardized results. Extracurricular activities, such as school clubs, academic competitions, campus speeches, bands, etc. A that can be used as a soft background. But in the choice of activities, you can't just fill in the activities you did in high school, but you must add the activities after you went to college. After all, if you apply for undergraduate transfer now, the admissions officer will only be more interested in your college life. Compared with the application of freshmen, the transfer activities should be more targeted, that is, they should be more suitable for the majors they apply for. Students are advised to take more than three extracurricular activities in the school year when they transfer to another school, two of which are best related to the main application direction. In addition, it is also good to have internship experience or scientific research experience, which is reflected in making full use of resources and improving professional level at the university level.
These details about the transfer requirements are likely to determine whether you can be admitted.
Fourth: Don't challenge the authority of universities. Local students are taken care of more than international students.
First of all, the California Department basically can't accept freshman to sophomore, but can only accept sophomore to junior. In addition, more than 90% transfer places in California Department will be allocated to community colleges, so don't think that your GPA4.0 will be advanced appropriately. A large number of students with high GPA are rejected every year. I basically think it is not standard to transfer from non-community to California.
Fifth: If you want to transfer in autumn, don't take the risk of transferring in spring, because it is easier to transfer in autumn than in spring, and there will be more vacancies and admission places.
Transfer in spring or autumn. Autumn applications generally begin in August, and most universities close online applications in February or 10 of the following year, and the latest deadline is around March of the following year. Spring applications start around June, and most of the deadlines are August 1, September 1, September 15, June 10 or June 10. The application deadline of some schools is relatively late, which can be 1 1 October or 1 1 October. Generally speaking, there are fewer options for transferring in spring, which makes it more difficult. In addition, the record of transfer in spring will affect the application in autumn. After applying in spring, some schools will no longer accept applications in autumn of that year, which requires at least one year's interval and should be considered in advance in application planning.
Sixth: Don't fight an unprepared war. Each college has different transfer requirements, so you need to get detailed information from official website in advance.
For example, the engineering projects of the University of Southern California, new york University, Northwestern University and Columbia University, and the computer projects of Cornell University, Boston University and Rice University are all very popular. There are no specific transfer requirements for applying to engineering schools, but many schools require students to complete certain basic courses before applying, such as Cornell.
Moreover, not all business schools offer undergraduate majors, so it is necessary to clarify in advance whether there is such a major. Each major has different application and transfer requirements, and some majors need some basic prerequisite courses, so they need to be confirmed before planning and applying.
