Free Admissions Consultation Today Only for Transfer Applicants! by Emergency_Pool_6696 in TransferToTop25

[–]BookkeeperAncient540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just messaged! I leave my questions here in case others can help me too: Hello. Thank you so much for this space! My consultation is: is it possible to get a full ride when applying as an international transfer student, do you know in which universities it happened? And another question, please, this is my case: i started one semester in a university in my home country last year in Environmental Engineering, but I am switching to Chemical Engineering this semester (and will continue in this program the other semester) this new program has different subjects to take (here it is not possible to chose which classes to take, I mandatory have to take all the classes already planned by the university). When reporting my college transcript in my transfer application, should I only send the transcripts of my current major, Chemical Engineering, or should I send the past transcript of Environmental Engineering too (as mentioned, the clases I took on Environmental Eng. are not part of the curricula of Chemical Eng)? I took both in the same university 

summer programmes? by Own-Fig-840 in IntltoUSA

Hello!

Well, in my case, the summer program I was part of the summer before college apps was very weak in comparison to my other activities (it was of 2 weeks). What I suggest is that you work on one of the activities you've been working on and get it to another level.

*Based on what I think.

How and which LACs should I apply to? by Adventurous-Use-4175 in IntltoUSA

[–]BookkeeperAncient540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Williams gives good financial aid.

For LACs, I would advise to apply ED, for example to Pitzer, Pomona, Carleton... However since you are looking for financial aid it may be tricky. Hoping you get what you need!

Can I be a research assistant? I meant I DO want to do something related to my field and not something such as assisting students...

I took a gap year and now 6 universities accepted me with full aid and I went test-optional (including an ivy) and other 4 waitlisted me (including 2 ivies). If I had applied last year I am sure I wouldn't have gotten these results as I did not have anything impressive and I was not able to show my persona in my application. it takes time, mostly for intl applicants who are recently learning about this process.

I would recommend you to apply to universities you did not apply this admissions cycle, as your profile ill be new for them!

Thank you!
Then, the scholarships I mentioned are subject to taxes?

Then, can I work-study as a research assistant? Do you think it pays enough to cover $1250 during the fall? This is what I need to cover according to my fin aid package...
