<p>Okay so before I start, I want to make sure that sarcasms and insulting replies are really not appreciated especially because this is extremely important for me. PLEASE only reply if you know something or just want to help from the good of your heart.</p>
<p>I'm an international student and my GPA has been fairly low. I took a gap year to fix it and to be honest, when you see every one of your mates go to unis and colleges, you start questioning yourself. So I decided to apply for community college and bump my GPA up and then maybe from there I'll apply to a four year institution. I even got accepted to this community college in Nebraska which starts from January 12th. </p>
<p>To be honest, I like traveling a lot and I want to go to one of those free-tuition European Universities; plus I thought maybe it'd be easier on my parents because they can't afford expensive universities. But my question is, can I transfer to, let's say, France or Germany with an Associate's Degree? Since I'll be completing the first two years of study in a community college, will they accept the credits? I even have a DELF-A1 certificate (French Language Cert.) </p>
<p>Is there a way for me?
Thank you in advance :)</p>
No, they won’t accept the credits. In fact, unless you already took a fair number of AP classes in high school, an Associate’s degree is required for American applicants to enroll as a first-year student at a German university. (For example, not a single German university teaches calculus because that’s a high school graduation requirement in Germany. Ditto for calculus-based physics and a first course in organic chemistry.) </p>
<p>FYI, a Bachelor’s degree is structured completely differently in Europe than in the US. In Europe, every single class you take would be for your major (and maybe a minor). No general education requirements, no free electives. On the flip side, college only takes 3 years instead of 4.</p>
<p>I’ve tried to submit my AA for admissions into a U in Germany (Hamburg), was offered a place for year 1. I do believe it’s a case by case basis. I also got accepted into a U in Belgium (KU Leuven) using my AA for admissions, but also had to start from year 1.</p>
<p>It’s not impossible to enter a Uni in EU. But if you want to be a strong applicant, might suggest you take GCSE A levels for admissions purposes (I’m assuming you won’t need to do alot of studying if you took A level subjects which you have covered in college before)</p>
<p>just giving personal opinion, there’s no real fix way to gain admissions.</p>
<p>You could just use your As and Os to apply into Unis in EU, its easier.
I’m not sure about Canada. Best is to pick out afew Unis in Canada, drop them an email and see what they say.</p>
