<p>Hello,
First of all allow me to thank all the members at College Confidential for all their highly rated work, but as you already see guys i'm here cause i have a problem and i believe that i can found the solution here, anyway I'm Moroccan citizen living at F</p>
<p>If you will have completed a year of full time post-high school college coursework when you enter the new school, then you will be considered a transfer applicant at any US college. </p>
<p>If you have completed less than a year of post-high school college, then some schools will consider you a fr applicant, it will depend on the number of credits/sem in college. If you have less than a year of college, then you need to go to the college websites and read their definitions of a fr and transfer applicant.</p>
<p>Does your university award credit per course passed (semester? year?), per year-long subject passed, or per year?
If you don’t have any credits, as it sounds like, you’d apply as a freshman.
If you have credits, each university has its own policy.
In addition, there’s basically no scholarship money for international transfers.
Note that registering after your bac but not going to university in the Fall because you had no money and had to work is viewed differently from not going to class because you couldn’t be bothered.</p>
<p>Start by reading through everything (and I do indeed mean everything) at <a href=“https://www.educationusa.info/[/url]”>https://www.educationusa.info/</a> Then make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center that is closest to where you live. There are two in Morocco: <a href=“https://www.educationusa.info/Morocco[/url]”>https://www.educationusa.info/Morocco</a></p>
<p>The counselors there are expert at helping students in your country find good places to study in the US. They will be able to answer all of your questions.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your answers, i really do appreciate it, but i will re-try to explain my situation for you guys, as i already said : down here at Morocco we follow the francophone educational system which is different than the Anglo-saxon system followed by the U.S.A, there’s no credits hours down here at morocco, my main issue is : i have enrolled in a University as an Undergraduate student and this is my 1st first year, but i have unsubscribe from it before the completion of the academic year cause i’m interested now in studying at the U.S.A, so from all the informations above should i apply as a Transfer student or a Freshman student ?, i’m waiting your reply impatienly, please agree my meaningful greetings and salutations…</p>
<p>Sincerly,
Mohammed Amine Asri .</p>
<p>Even if you don’t have any credits, we still need these answers to help you:
Does your university award credit per course passed (semester? year?), per year-long subject passed, or per year?
“credit” means they consider you have the right to “pass” into the higher level. So depending on your university (because even in the francophone pattern, each university has its own system), it could be that you “pass” class per class, must “pass” all subjects for the semester, must “pass” one year of one subject, must “pass” all subjects for the entire year …
If you only registered (inscription administrative et p</p>
<p>OK. In my opinion, you have no chance if you apply as a transfer student, because you did not follow the university courses and any transcript would eliminate you right away.</p>
<p>I suggest you apply as a freshman. Many people take a year off after high school, mostly to do traveling or working or just doing a project. It would not be unusual for US colleges. How were your bac grades?</p>
<p>Zazekme does sound like a freshman applicant (took the bac and filled out the inscription, then did something else with his year) but he’ll need to prove <em>what</em> he did with his time: travel? work to earn money (if so proof by bank statement or employer recommendation?) English study? volunteering? helping family with something (ailing elder, etc)? Zazekme can’t just say “I took a gap year” and have nothing to show for it. (“I decided I’d spend a year playing videogames” wouldn’t work very well with admissions :D:D)</p>
<p>Thanks a lot guys, from your words i did conclued that i should apply as a freshamn student, i intend to apply for litterature, after all i do have great grades in all languages starting from arabic, to french and English, but the thing that is confusing me is to proof why i did waste this year, so basically i’ll choose traveling, so is this enough as a proficiency ?</p>
<p>Well to be true to you MYOS1634 i did pass the 1st semester Exams but i didn’t do well cause i wasn’t interested of this programm, and i have unsubscribe from the university before the 2nd Semester Exams, so basically i haven’t complete a full academic year, so what should i do? apply as a freshman or a transfer student ?, thanks a lot for all your answers guys, i’m really thankful .</p>
<p>I don’t know how universities handle students who registered, took half a class, then withdrew.
(I know that in some French patterned universities, students have 12-14 different classes that meet year-long for 1 to 1 1/2 hour/week or at various moments throughout the year, and the actual “validation” of the class comes in June with a big '-hour final exam.)
And you can’t “choose to say you travelled” if you didn’t travel. You will have to explain how exactly that year has been useful to you, your growth, your learning…
A gap year is not “why you wasted a year” but rather “Why you DID NOT waste a year by deferring your schooling - what did you do that was so much better?”</p>
<p>Well to be true, i was working on a Webradio project named Zazek, i’m an expertised website maker so basically i was working, this is a futur project not yet done but on june 15 everything will be setup, is this enough as a proficiency ? .</p>
<p>Go meet with the people at EducationUSA. They will be able to tell you exactly what you need to do to apply to colleges and universities here. They work with students like you every year, and they know whether or not you need to get any information from your old university. Truly. They are the experts. We aren’t.</p>
<p>Yes, working on a webradio project that is about to go “live” would be an excellent way to spend a gap year.
As Happymomof1 said go see EducationUSA experts, explain that you spent a gap year, demonstrate with a sample, and indicate you have a bac in Life and Earth Sciences, registered at the local university in law but didn’t actually attend and don’t have any credit due to gap year work, would you be considered a transfer or a freshman applicant?
(I also know of a common scourge in some french patterned universities: “ghost” students, who register because it keeps them in status for health insurance or for something, but who aren’t actually “students” in class.)</p>
<p>Thank you a lot MYOS1634 you really did help me , anyway i’ll apply as a Freshman student and i will see the admission decision in the end, and trust me i have learn a lot of things this year in coding and programming (XHTML/CSS, PHP/MYSQL, Javascript, C/C++) truely amazing boys, thank you a lot i really appreciate it

<p>You need to listen to other members and talk to Education USA or the specific colleges you plan to apply to. What you have stated here gives NO clear answer to whether you are considered a fr or transfer applicant, and you may very well need to apply as a fr to some colleges and a transfer to others.</p>
