First, for example, in the official website of Indiana-Bloomington University in the United States, it is clearly stated that they only consider the credits of professional courses taken by domestic universities, and the credits of basic courses are not considered for transfer. For example, if a student is a sophomore majoring in finance, and has taken specialized courses such as monetary banking, bank investment theory and basic accounting, plus basic courses such as Marxist philosophy, introduction to Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping Theory, college English and Chinese, the total score is about 45 points. When applying for transfer, such as Indiana-Bloomington University, the school can consider transferring credits only for specialized courses, and not for basic courses. In addition to the above-mentioned schools with special regulations, many schools accept all credits and consider transferring.
Second, students who generally apply for transfer have some university study experience, so American universities have slightly lower GPA requirements for transfer students than freshmen. For example, Iowa State University requires freshmen to have a GPA of 3.0, while undergraduate transfer students have a GPA of only 2.5. In addition, some schools require SAT or ACT scores when applying for freshmen, but they are not required to provide SAT or ACT scores when transferring students.
Third, the deadline for transferring credits is usually one night later than that of the previous one. For example, the deadline for applying for new students in Boston University is February 1, and the deadline for applying for transfer students is March 1. Therefore, when you meet a classmate who is consulting for transfer, don't refuse him because it's getting late. You need to confirm in detail when the deadline for transfer students in this school is.
4. At the same time, it should be noted that when applying for transfer, it depends on whether American universities need students to produce transcripts from China University. WES and ECE are the common certification bodies selected by American schools. Some of them need to be certified by the Ministry of Education of China.
5. If you want to change your major, because the courses you study in China and the United States are very different, some courses will not be accepted by American literature. If you want to change your major again, there will be very few credits that can be recognized basically. Therefore, if you want to consider changing your major, you should finally have a similar major, and at the same time be prepared to apply as a freshman. Therefore, we don't admire the way to change majors when changing schools.
6. Will American universities issue credit conversion reports at the same time as their admission notices? Some universities will issue a transfer credit report when recruiting transfer students, clearly telling students how many credits you have been exempted and how many credits you need to study.
7. Under normal circumstances, it is acceptable for American universities to apply for credit transfer when they are freshmen or sophomores in China, but when they apply for credit transfer in their junior year (more than 60% of the total courses have been completed), many universities no longer accept applications for credit transfer.
