<p>Hi!
I am planning for a transfer to MIT in September-2014.
I would have completed four(4) semesters in my college,outside US, then.
My queries are:
1.In which semester are the transfer students enrolled, after accepting the admission?</p>
<p>2.Is it so that one has to do all the courses again? Will I get credits for the courses which I have already undertaken at my college? Or is it that, I have to start again as a sophomore?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Are the transfer students have the same advantages as the freshmen? What are the disadvantages?</p></li>
<li><p>Please share some views on the housing of transfer students.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>
Fall, I believe. Same as the freshmen.</p>
<p>
I’ve heard that it’s hard to get credit for technical classes. You will probably get credit for all the humanities classes you’ve taken. Whether or not you get credit for technical classes of course depends on the classes you’ve taken and how they compare to required MIT classes in your intended major.</p>
<p>
No. You will not, for example, get to be on pass/no record your first semester at MIT.</p>
<p>I am also applying for transfer application from outside USA to MIT.
but i am confused.</p>
<p>-the brochure says “part1 must be submitted along with the money order or demand draft”.
and the next line says “completed part 1 and 2 must be emailed”.
can anyone please explain, whether i have to mail or email.</p>
<p>what i understand:
“mail only part1 along with money order to MIT office. this will initiate application process.
after completing part1 and 2, ‘email’ it, and not mail it again.”
am i right?
also, part1 and 2 can be mailed seperately, is that correct.</p>
<p>-transcripts/documents ‘in a sealed envelope’ or ‘sent directly to MIT’:
i already left my high school and am in a university.
am i supposed to ask my high school and university to send them directly to MIT?
is that really what they want?
i don’t get the sealed envelope part.
i have to attach the documents with the part1 of application, right?
are the documents to be sealed by the respective institution?</p>
<p>note:
these questions might seem trivial to others, but as i don’t know anyone yet who is familiar with the procedure, i found it best to ask here.</p>
<p>thank you.</p>
