<p>Currently at a Canadian undergraduate school (about to finish my first year). Curious if it would be possible to transfer to a US institution, and what I should be doing now to increase my chances, etc.</p>
<p>If this is the wrong board I apologize (wasn't sure if it should go in int'l students forum).</p>
<p>I am doing the exact same thing. It’s actually no different from a U.S to U.S. transfer.</p>
<p>Oh awesome. Anything you can tell me about it? Not even sure where to start lol. </p>
<p>I’m about to finish my first year (doing biology, chemistry, and non calc-based physics). I was originally gonna do pre-med but I really want to do physics now and will essentially need to start over in the fall with calc based physics. I am planning to do the first year physics courses at my institution but after that first year THEN I want to transfer (so still more than a year away).</p>
<p>Are some schools more open to intl transfers than others? So far my grades are ok, my GPA is 3.5 but that’s only from 1 semester (still not done 2nd).</p>
<p>Bumping this.</p>
<p>If you want to go to a good school, you’ll need to transfer after your sophomore year at the latest. Most schools don’t accept current juniors as transfers.</p>
<p>Well I’m not. I guess technically I would be transferring AFTER my sophomore year at the latest. But since I’m kind of starting fresh with physics it would essentially be me transferring after my freshman year. I dunno if the schools will see it like that.</p>
<p>Bumping this.</p>
<p>They will look at the number of credit hours you have, not your level in a certain subject. The very latest time that you can transfer (usually) is starting at the new school the fall of your junior year.</p>
<p>Well then that is what I’d like to do. Any info on how?</p>
<p>I’m Canadian too, and I’m thinking of doing the transfer thing starting from a 2-year community college in the US… would I be at a better advantage going from a US CC to a US university rather than starting at a Canadian CC/university?</p>
<p>I’m not sure but please don’t get my thread off topic, you can always make your own</p>
<p>Um… the hell? </p>
<p>It’s not like there are people clamoring to answer your thread so it doesn’t matter what I ask, and if they answer my question it doesn’t mean they won’t answer yours. My question is relevant to this topic so I will do as I please. You want to delete it go ahead and try.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if I need to take the SAT’s or anything? We don’t have them in Canada. Will they even want to look at my high school marks?</p>
