<p>I put a thread up on the transfer section, but I thought maybe people would know more here about international transfers.</p>
<p>I DON'T need aid, but there's a reason I HAVE to transfer this year to a U.S. college. No specific program, just liberal arts.</p>
<p>Can you PLEASE suggest some transfer safeties?</p>
<p>My high school record (I didn't want to give my exact values away, but you get the idea)</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0...maybe more, if that's even possible? But it's unweighted.
SAT's: Combined score, low 2000's. CR about 650, Math and Writing over 700.
SAT Subjects: Two subjects, both between 700 and 800.
iBT Toefl: Near-perfect. English not my first language.
AP: High grades in many exams...
IB: Got 2nd-highest diploma score in my class this year, 7th-highest in the history of my school.
Recommendations: Awesome, my teachers and counselor were really, really nice and actually interviewed us to pick up more detail, even if I've known them for years.
Activities: Sports and Music for a solid number of years, consistently. Also true for volunteer and paid jobs.</p>
<p>The college I'm attending now grades rigorously; it's one of those colleges where to get an A, you have to have OVER 92%....how crazy it that? But so far the lowest grade I've earned is an 81% on a test that's worth about 8% of my grade for 1 subject. The rest are all A's and A+'s. </p>
<p>Also, do U.S. colleges take this kind of grading into account? I can get 90% in all my subjects, and my GPA can be a 3.0.....</p>
