<p>here you go.</p>
<p>International transfer application procedures are the same as those for international first-year applicants. All of the same deadlines and financial aid restrictions apply.</p>
<p>seriously, are you blind ?</p>

<p>but they offer scholarships? they said regularly… i guess it leaves place for exceptions:/</p>
<p>SO, i CANT apply as freshmen bc i finished at least 1 semester of school anywhere in the world, right?</p>
<p>so?</p>
<p>.:…</p>
<p>you have to apply as a transfer student. go ahead and apply then.</p>
<p>good luck to you.</p>
<p>what if i apply as freshmen? will they check me out in my country?</p>

<p>that thread said nothing about financial aid, so its an invalid argument. of course schools international transfer student, if you’re accepted and can pay. duh.</p>
<p>anw i’m done with this thread. no point talking to someone who doesn’t listen. </p>
<p>cheers.</p>

<p>this one does, she “got a full ride!” - i believe this says she got full scholarship</p>
<p>you can be over with this thread, just next time be more careful with saying NEVER.</p>
<p>silliness, of course it’s not impossible to get financial aid as an international transfer student. We are saying that it is highly unlikely. If you are the kind of applicant who can get into MIT, by all means please go ahead and apply there. Most students in your position do not have the resume to transfer to the tippy top universities (where most of the financial aid is) though.</p>
<p>one. in like a thousand. that is pretty damn close to never. the statistics speak for themselves.</p>
<p>would you go through a surgery if i said there was only a 10% chance of survival ? don’t be a tool about it.</p>
<p>.
</p>
<p>Depr91 said never</p>
<p>as you know, my “only” problem would be that i am older. by problem i mean negative comparing to girl who got in from the thread.
this is my main concern in general.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i would if that were my only chances for survival. 10% is more than 0%. </p>
<p>and well, i was speaking hypothetically, i was 1st on math competition where chances were 1:45000, i could at least try.</p>
<p>also, you dont know is it 1 in 1000 or 1 in 100. still, you are spreading misinformations.</p>
<p>i am really not saying this for my personal reasons, i dont accept everything i read right away, as you can see… but still, in best atemption, you are spreading half truths, and half truth is a lie once in a while. just skip “never” next time and all is good.</p>
<p>silliness, I can see that you are upset. You have clearly done your research. You know what your options are. I don’t think you or anyone is gaining useful information from this thread anymore.</p>
<p>Good luck with your endeavor! Please let us know how things turn out.</p>
<p>LOL, funny thread- but seriously your chances of getting a scholarship seem closer to 1 in a million. Yes, this is a conjecture or but still a very good one. A lot of schools state explicitly on their website that they do offer funding to international transfer students but the large majority are (1) Transferring from a 4-year or 2- year institution in the US, and (2) Are of exceptionally high academic ability.</p>
<p>sefago, what can i say… i love your Location.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Colleges say they CONSIDER transfers for scholarships because they don’t want to say that they don’t. And maybe, once in a few years, they will grant some money to some sort of a genius in an area of interest to the school. That’s what depr91 meant when he/she said the US favors “top students” – as an International transfer student you have to be truly outstanding to get $. </p>
<p>In high school, you may have been 1st in a national math competition - but you yourself say your college grades are mediocre. That will count against you when you apply for a scholarship.</p>
<p>No one here is trying to discourage you – go ahead and apply to American colleges. Many will probably love to have you. If you are willing to pay $15,000 to $30,000 a year plus living expenses.</p>
<p>And for what it’s worth – many Americans pay that much. Unfortunately, that’s the way it is in America. Those of you who may be in European Hell at least have healthcare and inexpensive schools. In American Paradise those two things are foreign concepts.</p>
<p>my college GPA should be 3.6 if i raise it this semester. Its very high for med school, but comparing with american college, probably mediocre. I’d do it if it means anything, but aparently it doesnt…so i guess unimportant.</p>
<p>I get what you’re saying, i agree… but still saying never could be discouraging to ppl like the girl WHO GOT IT; get it? what if she decided not go for it bc someone on the internet said she has 1 to 1000000 chances?
Obviously she did good for not listening to people like that.</p>
<p>American citizen earn A LOT more than Eastern Europeans where I am from, so paying for healthcare, and schools, still doesnt make you less wealthy than we are. (not to go into that i wouldnt pay for school if i was american citizen!) You are unaware of the situation in most of the world, but thats something I dont really care much about, not my problem.</p>
<p>Do you know that in most countries of ex Yugoslavia average salary is under 400$ per month? And unemployment is much higher than in US.</p>
<p>Also, school here IS free for everyone, for everyone who GETS IN. BIg difference. Do you know that acceptance rate in my country for med school is 1:9, you think that’s good?! Here not every kid goes to college, maybe 10% do.</p>
<p>why ? because she actually has good grades. you might want to look at that thread again, because it seems that the only thing you got out of it was “she’s an international transfer student and she got financial aid”. you’re failing to see what other achievements she actually has. maybe one in a million is an exaggeration, but one in ten thousand or more is pretty fair game.</p>
<p>once again, go ahead and apply and post back here if you get it. i’ll sub this thread for later.</p>
<p>and </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>good luck with that kind of attitude.</p>
