<p>Hey, I'm going to be a freshman this fall in America, but I was looking to put transfer applications out to numerous schools. Does Oxford and other UK school accept transfers? I'm still a little confused about the whole system. I was reading up on it, but it still messes me up. My school, for example didn't offer AP scores, all I took were the ACTs and SATs. If someone could help me out over here with how to transfer, that'd be great. PM me if you'd like, but help would be appreciated</p>
<p>“A student cannot transfer to Oxford to complete a course begun elsewhere.” ([Oxford</a> FAQ - University of Oxford](<a href=“http://www.ox.ac.uk/about_the_university/introducing_oxford/oxford_faq/]Oxford”>http://www.ox.ac.uk/about_the_university/introducing_oxford/oxford_faq/)) Most UK universities won’t since their degrees are so much more specialised, and I don’t think any of the top ones do. You could try applying to again as a first-year altogether (since many UK degrees are three years you will still graduate in the same year) and the first year at a US uni will help compensate the lack of APs.</p>
<p>Alright, so i could apply as a first year and still graduate in 2013. That sounds good. Now, i was looking at the UCAS site and it says for international applicants, the deadline for 2010 courses (which I believe are majors) is October 15, 2010? It seems awfully far unless the site made a mistake. I’m not sure, could someone clarify and help me out? That would mean an extra semester at an American Uni right?</p>
<p>Okay, say you want to start studying in fall 2010. You will need to apply by October 15, 2009, for Oxford. For all other unis the deadline is January 15 2010. </p>
<p>‘Courses’ are like majors, except in British ‘courses’ there is usually no such thing as ‘free electives’ - if you apply to study English you will study English and lots of it. Maybe you will get the chance to do say French Literature or Olde Englishe or Latin as a very small part of the degree but if you want to go there be sure you are comfortable with studying only one subject for three years.</p>
<p>Wow, that’s an early deadline! I won’t even have any uni grades ready…do you know anything about oxfords financial aid? Also I I’m an engineering major now, and I read oxford is a good engineering school. Also do you know the acceptance rate?</p>
<p>Oxford engineering is a four-year course.</p>
<p>Financial aid is horrible for internationals. ([Student</a> Funding](<a href=“http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/studentfunding/]Student”>http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/studentfunding/)) It’s a public uni and their first priority for finaid is Home students. Depending on your citizenship you may qualify for a few scholarships for certain nationalities; US citizens don’t have anything for undergrad I think. I’d say don’t expect to get much off the university itself. Richer colleges may give a little money, but don’t count on it. You’re going to have to mostly self-fund.</p>

<p>In 2008 31% of applicants for ‘Engineering Science’ got in; girls at a slightly higher rate than guys (33 v. 30) ([Admissions</a> statistics - University of Oxford](<a href=“http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate_courses/how_to_apply/admissions_statistics/index.html]Admissions”>http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate_courses/how_to_apply/admissions_statistics/index.html))</p>
