<p>I am a first year undergraduate student at University College London with a module at London School of Economics. Im looking forward to transferring to a university in the US for mechanical engineering. Following are my current grades:</p>
<p>Modelling & Analysis (Math): A
Applied Mechanics: A
Materials and Mechanics of Deformable bodies (split into chemistry and mechanics): A
Applied Electricity: A
Computing(Fortran and Matlab): A
Engineering Drawing: B
Economics (taught at LSE): not graded, they donot have midterm tests </p>
<p>My high school was British Patterned
A-Levels (equivelent to APs, iv heard): A<em>,A</em>,A,B (5,5,5,4?)</p>
<p>Lots of ECs in highschool but no such involvement in college exept for attedning meetings (which really wont count)</p>
<p>I only have a B in engineering drawing. Im not sure if its something that important in the US.</p>
<p>There are no midterm tests in LSE but I can get an A Grade if tested anyday and my tutor will be willing to write a really good evaluation for me.</p>
<p>I was wondering if anybody could chance me at the previously mentioned schools?
Also, I emailed all of these universities to ask for transferable credit but they said that this would only be done after I am admitted. Can anyone enrolled in the mechanical engineering course in these unis help tell me if Il get enough credit for sophomore standing?</p>
<p>Just a note on Chancing. It is a dubious activity to start with, becomes more so for Intl. students, more so for transfers and finally more so for majors like Engineering where usually a college within the university must accept you. </p>
<p>In addition, at some publics, like UCB, Engineering majors are impacted and very difficult to enter, particularly as a transfer:</p>
<p>I see what you mean entomom.
Can anyone who has trasnfered from Uk share some experience? I have not given any SATs and nor do i plan to. My question is, are they really that important for international tranfers?</p>
<p>I see alot of transfer students who have a GPA of 4.0 from community colleges. Mine is obviously less than a 4.0. Does transferring from a top university (UCL and LSE are very well known in the UK) following a rigorous course make up for this?</p>
<p>You can not apply to many of these schools without an SAT score, so yes, they are important.</p>
<p>We really would need to understand more about your high school rank to see if you have a chance at these schools. Since you’ve had less than a year of college, high school is still most important.</p>
<p>It’s unlikely that you would get soph standing as the systems are so different. At most schools you would have many requirements in subjects other than engineering to complete. I would anticipate spending 4 years at most of these schools. The state schools are more likely to give you generous credits from classes completed.</p>
<p>I’d take Berkeley off your list as they don’t accept soph transfers. The first 5 schools on your list will be tough, the rest, if you’re full pay, shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
<p>My position in highschool was 5/90. My school was small and very selective. </p>
<p>Deputy President- Youth Leadership initiative society ( a very imporant position). Won outstanding diplomacy awards at 2 national MUNS. Head Peer teacher at school. Won 1 local science fair and was runnerup at another one. Started and managed a football league in my hometown which actually flourished and still remains as the only league for school going children even years after i left my city. Runner-up at a business idea competition with participating schools from across the country. Was actively involved at a charity organizations. The founder of that organization would love to write an evaluation for me. </p>
<p>Plus i did internships at very large manufacturing firms (i kno this dosnt sound very interesting but i can make a big deal out of it :p)</p>
<p>I did check the requirement for sophomore transfer at some unis and i did meet most of them. I am actually doing the same things (exept for computing where im doing fortran instead of java) plus some extra stuff in my first year.</p>
