<p>What are the chances of international transfer applicants getting aid at need-blind schools? </p>
<p>Also, for schools such as UPenn that treat Canadian, American and Mexican citizens similarly in awarding financial aid at the freshman level, would transfer students still enjoy this kind of advantage (I'm a Canadian citizen) ?</p>
<p>I am wondering about the same thing, i think such schools treat transfers similarly (not sure though). I am a canadian citizen too.
Which university are you at?</p>
<p>I've just graduated from high school. Not sure about transfer chance though.</p>
<p>@HolyPegasus: Can you be more specific which schools you are referring to?? :)</p>
<p>@fri3nds04: the Ivies, NYU-Stern, Williams, Middlebury, Amherst, Swarthmore, Berkeley-Haas, UChicago and Stanford. Thanks.</p>
<p>To Holypegasus,
I believe Cornell held the same transfer students finaid policy to Canadian.
Check their website and download cornell transfer aid forms.</p>
<p>hm what about the other ones like Amherst? Does its need-blind financial aid policy for freshman also hold true for transfer applicants?</p>
<p>Hey HolyPegasus,Amherst holds the need-blind policy,for ALL the students(including transfer students)
But these words are from its website.I dont know the truth about transfer aid,lol.I think if they said they are need-blind that they will be more generous than other need-aware schools.btw,I'm thinking about amherst too.</p>
<p>Oh are you going into freshman year or sophomore?</p>
<p>To holypegasus,
sophomore~I want to transfer to Amherst although it's quite competitive,lol.
Give it a shot.</p>
<p>I've just graduated from high school and got accepted into a prestigious commerce program in Canada. I'm wondering if transferring from commerce to arts and sciences would be easier than the other way around?</p>
<p>hey,Holypegasus, your reason to transfer would be quite important in your apply. Transfering from commerce to liberal arts colleges won't be an advantage unless you really think it doesn't fit you at all. Find a proper reason to transfer. I dont understand what do you mean by other way around. :)</p>
<p>the other way around ~= transferring from liberal arts into commerce...I thought it would be easier to do the commerce to arts/science transfer because business programs genrally have higher admission requirements. What say you?</p>
<p>um, I dont think it will be easier to transfer from business schools than other art and science colleges. btw, I'm an incoming freshman in B-School who want to transfer to LAC. For higher admission requitements, I think that is not so important as your college GPA. No matter what you are studying now, focus on it and show the AO that you really work hard. :)</p>
