California weather and Sanfrancisco spoil me I guess lol. I went to NY last summer, and pretty much don't like it there lol.
I am willing to go anywhere for school though lol.

@Leo: I am pretty sure that Cornell didn't give out any FA to admitted international transfers last spring, yet I don't think the situation is the same for every admission period. Yea, even if being admitted, I would go somewhere else without FA
.
@Huy: Given that ad com at prestigious institutions, especially ones at Ivies, evaluate the application more holistically, I think we both have chances.
Ahhh it seems soo long ago when I was in your shoes, spending weeks polishing the personal statements in particular and the application packages in general, then waiting anxiously during April for the admission results ( and in my case, for the waitlist results). Grinning at the big packages, banging my head against the pillow when tiny/thin envelopes came....Good luck everyone and I hope things will turn out great for you!
Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
SMU is very white dominated. Students and teachers don't mean to be racist, but sometimes they can be so poorly informed about other cultures and backgrounds it can get awkward and offensive. Remember... you're in a white community...in TEXAS lol. My CC was very diverse, so I did have quite a shock after my transfer to SMU.
Also, Cox grad is way better than undergrad. Undergrad faculty/student quality may err sometimes, but a degree from SMU business grad school is well respected.
Anyway, I've seen quite a few transfer students from CA. Wonder why?

How are you doing right now Serena? Is it hard to adapt to a white dominated communityOriginally Posted by SerenaDang
Anyone hear from any other schools?
A very very good school that folks on CollegeConfidential say is not too hard to transfer into is NYU (except their Stern school of business, which has transfer acceptance rate like 12% including both internal and external candidates). Otherwise folks say that if a student got good grades and solid recommendations, she would have a decent chance to transfer to NYU. Has anyone tried this out? It might be a different story for international students needing financial aid though...

one of my friend in CC got accepted to NYU's Stern last year, but he had to give up because they didn't give him any financial aid or scholarship. he ended up going to UCI like me cuz Paul Merage gives him half of the tuition. Paul Merage just started their undergrad program a few years ago. they are giving out money to attract students. not sure about this year though, cuz budget cut is hitting hard on the UC system.
I think without financial aid/scholarship, NYU Stern is way too expensive.

Yeah, NYU is pretty much famous for its shady finaid/scholarship for int'l students. I do agree that NYU Stern of USC Marshall are way too expensive
Levan, why didn't you apply to Tulane? How is Tulane in general?
I got the first one though. Tulane University in New Orleans.
yeah. he comes from Vietnam too. Da Nang. I think he got Regents last year, which was like $7000. then he had couple grants more from Paul Merage itself. tuition last year was just $28,000 so he pretty much got half of it. and he lives with his relatives here, so he doesn't have to pay for room and board.Yeah, NYU is pretty much famous for its shady finaid/scholarship for int'l students

oh, I think last year I got offer from Tulane, but I didn't consider about that. they don't have the major I want. sometimes if you wanna be the best, you need to rub your elbows with the best.

Tulane for my major is not bad
I am waiting for Paul Merage also.
mấy bạn cho mình hỏi, mình hiện là sophomore của một trường 4-yr college ở bang Illinois. Mình đang có ý định transfer sau năm senior (năm junior mình study abroad) liệu có được nhận ko? Mình muốn vào một trường nào đấy danh tiếng hơn và có hoạt động ngoại khóa mạnh hơn trường mình. Và mình cũng muốn vào trường nào có cho full- scholarship liệu có mơ hồ quá ko? Xin mọi người giúp mình với. Mình cảm ơn!
Sau năm senior là graduate rồi thì còn transfer j hả em?

There is this guy I met in the dining hall here, who decided to transfer to Brandeis 5 days before his graduation date!!! His previous school was also a 4 year institution, so it seems like there's a chance - albeit teeny tiny - that we can pull it off.
Another thing is, after 4 years in college, we may feel like we want to move on and learn other new things out there, out of the college/student/classroom/teachers bubble. After all this time college might be enough for us. I mean, for example another new student orientation week may look like sooo childish and silly, and we'll be like, oh c'mon

Wherever you transfer, they will require you to finish at least 2 years of residency. It is not the matter of get in only, but also are you willing to spend an extra year also.
hongyen (04-12-2011)
lol yeah. I agree that we should move on. I mean, what's the point of transferring in to another 4-year college and staying there for 2 more years when you will graduate soon? if you still love going to school, you can apply for grad school and study for 2-6 years. but I don't see why anybody should transfer to another 4-year college after junior level.There is this guy I met in the dining hall here, who decided to transfer to Brandeis 5 days before his graduation date!!!

em nói nhầm ạ, em muốn transfer năm senior, là hết năm junior í anh. Dạ vì ở trường em hoạt động extra-curriculum quá yếu và em muốn có nhiều trải nghiệm hơn. Liệu transfer có trường nào cho mình full-tuition ko anh ? hoặc ít nhất cũng có scholarship hay financial aid gì đấy ạ? em cảm ơn !
Thank you for your consideration! I'm actually really debating right now. But if not transferring, I feel like dying inside staying at this school for another year.There is this guy I met in the dining hall here, who decided to transfer to Brandeis 5 days before his graduation date!!! His previous school was also a 4 year institution, so it seems like there's a chance - albeit teeny tiny - that we can pull it off.

I see your point here. But my college life has been such a miserable experience so far.
Does anyone knows which school still has transfer deadline for students enrolling next Spring Term? Could you please let me know?
Hongyen, these threads in College Confidential offer some suggestions:
Top 20 Universities Spring Transfers
Spring Transfers
Usually spring transfer deadlines are in Oct- Nov. However as I recall, Brown has the same deadline for Fall and Spring transfers. Also, Mt. Holyoke does accept spring transfers and the deadline is Nov 1. Yet it might be different when you're an international students. You should check with each school's admission office to be sure.

@Serena: thank you a lot for sharing
Just a few thoughts:
Regarding Tulane admission, as I told Leo earlier, the school is a really good one academically; however, we need to consider a few other factors as well. New Orleans is a comparably complicated city. Also, it's where you want to go after graduation that matters. The ones who do financial services probably prefer Dallas or Houston to New Orleans. Many graduates from Louisiana choose to come to Texas for jobs actually (I'm from Louisiana). Furthermore, BAC, JPM and GS
Could anyone please comment on this?
P/S: Everyone seems to get the half-tuition scholarship from there already huh
@hoadang91: Bạn Hoa dạo này active trong đây quá ta. Congratulation for your acceptances.
Hồi đó mình cũng định apply vô Tulane sau khi đọc cái email nó gửi. Vô tìm hiểu thì nó không có cái major của mình, làm buồn 5s
Chào bạn Huy
@levan: hah! yes, I cant deny the fact that Tulane location is kinda ghetto =) but the program is great and my mentor even told me to borrow money to go there if I get accepted (which I didn't LOL). If you go to Tulane, you can still look up for jobs in any city in Texas w/ a better looking resume lol =D And Louisiana has crawfish festival which is kinda awesome!
Btw: my mentor went to Dartmouth and Yale law school

beside what RogueXgirl said above, you also need to check whether Spring admission is available for your major. for some majors like biology or engineering, admission is available in the Fall only.

các a chị cho e hỏi chút nhé:
1>Học năm đầu rồi transfer để năm thứ 2 sang trường top trên học thì requirements thường gồm những gì ah? Có phải gửi lại SAT score ko? (e muốn transfer từ UNI ranking 95 lên 1 trong 3 trường Umich hoặc Carnegie Mellon Uni hoặc U of Illinois( UIUC)
2>Transfer lên những trường top như thế thì GPA phải khoảng bao nhiêu ạh( transfer from UNI rank 95). 3.7 đã ok chưa nhỉ? Mấy trường top như vậy chắc admitted qua transfer khó lắm phải ko ah? Apply freshman còn reject đầy ra.
3>Ngoài GPA ra, mình có cần submit Rec letter vs Extracurricular act như apply freshman ko? Chắc là có phải ko ah?
4>Có a(chị) nào đã từng transfer thành công lên 1 trong 3 trường trên có thể cho e contact dc ko ah?(Đặc biệt là Umich ) E muốn học hỏi kinh nghiệm
Cảm ơn các a chị rất nhiều
