<p>A bit about my story.
I recently graduated HS in Mexico. I am enrolled in a university and I'm planning on going, however I truly regret that I didn't applied for any university in the States. I really want to pursue a career in the US, so I'm thinking about applying for next year, but I'm very lost. </p>
<p>My IB coordinator told me that many students in my school have done this, and he also recommended me in applying as a Transfer student. The common app is closed until August, so I really don't know what is the main difference between applying as a Freshman and as a transfer student.
Plus, I'm not an American Citizen, and like I said my current university is here in Mexico so I don't know how many classes are elegible for transfer credits.</p>
<p>Anyways, I appreciate all the future help</p>
<p>If you have taken any coursework beyond high school, you have to apply as a transfer student. Depending on your coursework and your university, some of it probably wont transfer. </p>
<p>You need to be prepared to pay for 4 years at a university, and you should assume that you will be returning to your country for your career. If you gain entrance to a university, you need to be aware that you are asking to be educated in the US and are coming for your education, not for a career in the US. </p>
<p>Thanks for the info.
But why ? Is it impossible to start a career in the US?</p>
<p>US immigration laws are tough. Millions of people want to come to the US to live here permanently.<br>
If your intention is to stay in the US (which you are not supposed to do according to your student Visa) you need </p>
<p>to be sponsored by a relative or
be sponsored by an employer who says that there are no American candidates available in the country for that position.
It is tough and difficult. </p>
