How to transfer to top universities in US?

<p>I am a senior high school student, and I am a Chinese. </p>

<p>I will go to US to attend university the next year and probably settle down there.</p>

<p>My English is not very good, so I'm bad at the reading and writing sections of SAT I and another language test-TOEFL which are the most important factors for international students like me to be admitted to university in US. According to the scores I have got in these tests, I can only attend universities ranking from 60 to 30 in US. </p>

<p>But I am very good at Science and Math(far better than my English, even in China I rank fairly high in those subjects), which are the subjects I would major in, and I am very ambitious to attend top universities in US. Additionally, in US, it is far easier for me to improve my English.</p>

<p>So, I want to transfer to a better university before I graduate from the first university that I will attend in US.</p>

<p>So, could anyone please tell me that:
How difficult is it for students like me to transfer to a better university?
How to transfer to a better university?
What are the most important requirements? Like GPA ?</p>

<p>Your situation is like that of many Intl. students who want to study at the most selective US colleges, either for the FA or prestige, or both. I suggest you go to the Intl. Students forum and read past threads.</p>

<p>Also, google a college name and ‘common data set’, you will be able to calculate the acceptance rates for fr and transfer admits.</p>

<p>Finally, for how the transfer process works, see the Transfer 101 sticky thread at the top of this forum.</p>
