<p>i graduated early to attend ou in spring 2009, but wanna get into a private school. so, is it better for me to apply fall, 2009 as a transfer or spring/fall, 2010 as a transfer, since i will get 18 credits+6 from AP. And what schools have better chance for me to get in?</p>
<p>Here are some important infos:
1) i am an international who needs need-based financial support from school
2) i got very good high school GPA, like 3.97 or 3.98 (unweighted) maybe; and college GPA is very good too, so far 4.0
3) Good act score: 34.... SAT: so so... like 770, 650, and 640....
4) i am thinking about the colleges between top 10 and 20, like Wash U or Cornell
5) Like to consider others ideas.... ( maybe it's one of the few merits i have, haha ;) )</p>
<p>THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!</p>
<p>Depending on your major, and state, I would recommend different schools. For example, W&M is much more reasonable from in-state as opposed to out of state.</p>
<p>Nice stats though. If your ECs are strong, then I would think you have a good shot at both WashU and Cornell.</p>
<p>idk… see my Extra Curricular is ok, nothing fancy like going to NASA for a camp something like that… maybe i played tennis and hold a couple of office position in clubs~~ also, is there a guarantee that if WashU and Cornell accept me they will give me enough financial support to continue my undergraduate study? </p>
<p>P.S. i am math major…</p>
<p>P.P.S what is W&M?</p>

<p>Financial aid for international students is tricky. Your best bet is to contact financial aid directly and talk to them. I really do not know much about financial aid from transfers; but I would just suggest not applying to schools that aren’t need blind and those that don’t give close to 100% of demonstrated need.</p>
<p>For math: Wisconsin Madison, Penn, Rutgers, UChicago</p>
<p>About when to apply: I say 2009 because your grades are really good and you don’t need to waste more time taking more courses if you’re ready to apply now. The more time you spend at the school you transfer to–the better. This enables you to not only fit in better socially, but also it will help you complete the school’s requirements with ease.</p>
<p>thanx, that’s a good piece of info… yeah, only wash u and cornell have limited number of need-based financial aid to internationals… as for Duke and Northwestern, ummm Duke doesn’t offer need blind to International transfers; NW doesn’t even accept International transfers! maybe my best hope will be cornell and wash u… </p>
<p>do u know other schools that have need blind to international transfers?</p>
<p>I would try the rest of the Ivys ( except Brown, they are not need blind to any transfers)
Look at schools with larger endowments; I feel like they would most likely be need blind because they have more</p>
<p>dfbbdfbb, are you a Canadian/Mexican International Student? </p>
<p>At Cornell, unforutantly, only the Canadian/Mexican international students are considered for the need-blind policy. If you are not Canadian/Mexican, Cornell specifically says that there will be very little financial aid for you.</p>
<p>WashU says that it will try to meet your financial needs, but they can’t promise anything:</p>
<p>“Washington University provides financial assistance for freshman and transfer international students. Financial assistance for qualified students is considered on a case-by-case basis. Although we do our best to provide competitive financial assistance packages, funding limitations prevent the University from providing financial support for all applicants who deserve it, nor is it always possible to meet every recipients requirements”</p>
<p>no i am not canadian/mexican internationals… so, if i apply the rest of ivys, the chance will be almost impossible, won’t it?</p>
