<p>Hello,
I'd like to know, can I get bachelor's degree in two years so that I'm able to obtain graduate degree?
If yes, will this be issue when applying to good university? I mean will two year tuition be
drawback for me?<br>
I'm international. Are there any 3 year degrees in the US?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>If you google “three year bachlor”, you’ll find quite a few schools with such programs.</p>
<p>Despite the 4 year program at most schools, you can graduate within 3 years with some overloading.</p>
<p>Graduating within 2 years is impossible unless you have have racked up some 10-15 AP credits and goes to a school that will count all of them (usually not top private colleges).</p>
<p>The time it takes you to graduate won’t affect your graduate school chances.</p>

<p>Are you still planning to apply as a transfer student, or are you going to take a gap year and apply as a freshman for fall 2014? Have you been to one of the EducationUSA offices in Georgia, and if so, what did the counselors there suggest that you do? If you haven’t, here is the contact information: [EducationUSA</a> - Find an Advising Center](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/Georgia#.T7EG_OtYvkU]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/Georgia#.T7EG_OtYvkU)</p>
<p>Most bachelors degrees require about 120 semester hours of credits. This works out to about 15 semester hours of credits each semester for four years. If a student can receive a significant number of credits based on scores from AP, IB, or other exams, AND if the student is able to take more than 15 credits each semester, AND if the student also takes a lot of classes in summer school, it is possible to finish in two calendar years. However this will only work if nothing at all goes wrong. It is easier to finish in three or three and a half years, especially if the student takes summer classes.</p>
<p>If you want to go to grad school, I do not recommend that you try to get through everything that fast. It would be better to study at a normal pace so that you have the right amount of time to dedicate to your classwork. </p>
<p>If the problem is that your family has limited funds, you should do your first degree in Georgia (or another country that is very cheap for you), and then apply to graduate programs in the US.</p>

I’ve visited counselor. She told me that in case of transfer I won’t be eligible for financial aid, so I’m going to start undergraduate studies in Georgia (won’t be problem as counselor told me.Still will be able to apply as freshman). Despite my low GPA, she said, it’s worth trying. There’s very little chance for me but I want to shoot for it. My GPA may be a little higher (3.3/3.4) but It’s still to low. So I’ll try to get as high SAT scores as possible.
I don’t want to leave out even such a mere chance. I will know my exact gpa in 1-2 weeks and visit counselor one more time.</p>
<p>thanks for help. really appreciate it. </p>
<p>P.S. sorry for using too much "I"s.</p>
<p>Are you sure this is a credible counselor? I think many schools will not let you apply as a freshmen if you begin college in your country.</p>
<p>absolutely. I contacted her through Education USA website. She said I can explain everything in my essay so that it won’t be a problem. As it appeared, many applicants from Georgia do so</p>
