<p>Hi,I'm currently enrolled in DU 1st year Eco honours, I wanted to transfer to a us college or was looking at McGill in Canada. I had science in class 12 with overall score being 90.6%
what are my chances of getting accepted to McGill for their economics course?</p>
<p>Transfers are tougher than regular undergraduate admissions. However, from the few stats you’ve posted, no one can give you a reasonable prediction.</p>
<p>Also, I’d suggest looking up the percentage of transfers admitted to better gauge your chances at McGill.</p>
<p>Get in touch with McGill and ask them whether your credits will be eligible for transfers or not…</p>
<p>Um so would it be better if I applied as a freshmen applicant?
(Since I was looking at their joint honours course whose duration is 4 yrs )</p>
<p>If you have completed one year at DU, most likely the chances are that you can’t apply for freshman admissions. I know that US universities don’t allow this. Best thing to do- get in touch with McGill and explain your situation.</p>
<p>But, what if i dont want to transfer my credits etc. as in completely ignore one year of du education?
mmm and btw uni of maryland told me that i should apply as a freshman and not as a transfer due problems in transferring of credits etc.</p>
<p>which du college were u in???</p>
<p>sri venkateswara college</p>
<p>why d hell u want to transfer to a us college???venky’s economics is quite prestigious in its own self.</p>
<p>@sarasaxena- Even I am in a “prestigious” college. Still I want to get out of here!!</p>

Transferring credit has nothing to do with Transfer admissions. Most colleges & universities in the US will consider you only for transfer admission, if you have matriculated into another college/university anywhere in the world, after graduating high school. The degree of “tolerance” varies from school to school. It is not up to you to “ignore once year of du education”. Once you gain admission into the US college/university, your previous credits (all or some) may or may not transfer to the new school, depending upon other policies (specific depts/majors etc).</p>
<p>OTOH, several freshman application (right out of high school) enter with many college credits already, based on AP/IB coursework or dual enrollment.</p>
<p>may i ask u why do u want to still get out of here???</p>
<p>sarasaxena, there’s always a wealth of reasons for leaving our overpopulated, over-expecting, opportunity-impaired, college-less nation. I’m sure shibboo has better reasons than you can dream of.</p>
<p>
Wow. Just wow. Exactly the reason I despise India. Not the things you pointed out. But your ideology.</p>
<p>I’m realistic about our country - but that doesn’t mean I’ve given up on it. I’m ready and willing to help make it better. I can be realistic and optimistic, but at the same time no one in their sane mind can say that facility-wise, India is a superior nation.</p>
<p>The reasons I mentioned have definitely directly or indirectly contributed to you applying to foreign universities, otherwise you would be slogging for one of many competitive exams right now.</p>
<p>india sucks.everyone knows this but dont admit it!!!</p>
<p>Wow guys. Wow.</p>
<p>I agree there is a disparity in development throughout the country - primarily because of it’s mammoth size - and population. If you choose to accept the dark aspects, also admit that there are world-class opportunities and infrastructure, there for you to make use of. South Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangaluru, Gujarat, Hyderabad are testament to this.</p>
<p>You can hate on India and it’s supposed ‘dirtiness’ all you want, but the truth is, it doesn’t help. Direct that energy in improving it.</p>
<p>Also, it is understandable if 50-something bureaucrats talk of hopelessness - considering the slow pace of reforms. But when 18 year old kids talk like this … just disheartens me.</p>
<p>India isn’t some hopeless case. Look at the village folks- they have such a tougher life than most of us and yet they make their ends meet… </p>
<p>We the lucky ones in cities shouldn’t say that our country is gone to dogs and expecting anything to happen is useless and pointless. Whenever such thoughts come into our minds don’t forget this- those people in villages who lead their lives in a different and harsher environment than us, are the ones which vote more than us. At least the least we people can do is stuff like voting.</p>
<p>At the same time even I don’t like loads of bits about us and our country. But there are an equal number of reasons that I love about India. I don’t like the traffic in Delhi due to lack of sufficient infrastructure and yet I love the Delhi Metro. I don’t like most of railway stations and yet I love the smile and lively nature of the people inside it. But again we have lots to catch up…</p>
