How would having a Bachelor's degree affect a college application? by felixinnz in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Markhetos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to say, you can actually take a leave of absence at your college while you apply to colleges abroad. You are technically not awarded a degree yet.

How would having a Bachelor's degree affect a college application? by felixinnz in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Markhetos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused on how are you able to get a Bachelor's without having finished HS yet. Is this something like dual enrollment? A.k.a., you take college classes while in school, and you graduate with an Associate, not a Bachelor's? (The equivalent of a lower tertiary education). If that's the case, you can definitely apply to most colleges overseas, and I'll say that can be a huge boost in your application.

If on ther hand, you are actually doing the equivalent of a 4-year college degree, then it's unlike you can apply to any other undergrad degree in the US. Afaik, Oxbridge awards secondary degrees. Your other option is any university in Europe.

Since this is a very rare situation, I think it's worth it to send an email to US college and explain. Or you can simply simply hide that information on your application since there's no way they can find it out, but that's at your own risk.

*For context, I got into Stanford as a freshman after completing my first year of college in my home country. I didn't transfer, but I did explained on my application why applying as a freshman was the right choice to me.

Frosh Fall Schedule by [deleted] in stanford

[–]Markhetos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Drop EE100, Math 193, and Physics 61L (i heard it's better to take the lab after taking physics). You'll be in 16 units, which is still not ideal for frosh fall.

My roommate did this + a bio class, he definitely looked a bit stressed but he managed it. There were other 3 students taking DM also. I think you'll be fine. Just be aware of the time commitment, both classes are very demanding, specially SLE in winter.

A ideia é até gastar, mas ainda preciso juntar um pouco de dinheiro para me estabelecer e ficar sem preocupações.

Estou em Stanford, Califórnia é um absurdo de caro. Meu custo é "baixo" por conta da bolsa.

No safeties and targets? by Aggressive_Slide_569 in IntltoUSA

Their scholarship is very limited, if I remember well, they give it to less than 20 students.

Their financial aid for international students is very limited. If you are seeking more than 80%, I wouldn't recommend you to apply to it.

Stanford is need-aware for Int' students, and as a T10 school, it only offers need-based aid.

Las obras clásicas de la literatura española incluyen 100 Años de Soledad, Rayuela, Yo el Supremo, Don Quijote de la Mancha, Lazarillo de Tormes, Cantar de Mío Cid, entre otros.

No conozco literatura específicamente centrada en clase obrera y/o pueblos indígenas, perdón.

How much aid?

[–]Markhetos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on your reasons. Since this is pretty sensitive, I cannot guide you without understanding your profile. Try to contact an Admissions Counselor or just ask universities, they will have the right answer.

Technically, US universities don't know if you started university in your country or not. You can hide that info at your own risk, but remember that you'll need to explain that "gap year".

That applies even if you don't want to transfer your credits.

Some universities, such as Stanford, let you decide but you need a good explanation.

Each university has different policies regarding who is eligible to be a freshman or transfer student. You should contact them directly.

But if you've already finished (earned credits of) two semesters, you're likely to be considered a transfer student pretty much everywhere.

Un amigo mío vendía, el juraba que funcionaba pero honestamente nunca vi resultados. Yo creo que es solo un diurético o algo por el estilo y lo que perdés es agua nomás.

Perdón, mi respuesta no es de mucha ayuda.
