<p>Hello. I'm from Turkey. I studied at an Anatolian high-school which means students and teachers are chosen carefully. My high-school GPA is 89/100 and I was in honor committee for 4years and last year I became the president and in my country there is an exam which name is OSS (Student Selection Exam) and in that exam I became the 28.000 in 1.500.000 student, I'm studying Philosopy in METU (Middle East Technical University) and B.A. at Anadolu University same time. My Toefl is 85 and I can get recommendation letters from 2 Philosopy Prof. (they are well-known in my country).</p>
<p>1) I want to be an engineer. When I transfered a US university can I start my education in an engineering department?
2) If I graduated from phil. can I start my master degree at an engineering department in the States?
3) My freshman year is starting this fall (I was a prep student [my university's education language is eng]). I have 7 classes but I'll be exempted for 3 classes in freshman year with AA. So I have to take one or two classes more, should I chose calculus, physic (for being an engineer in the future) or should I chose like high logic? (I mean a deparmental class)
4) I can get at least 3.75 GPA and It looks like I have one or two years to transfer so in this time what should I do for Ivies?
Thank you very much for your help</p>
<p>1) It is difficult to transfer into engineering programs because of the course prerequisites. You need to read about each university’s program on its website.</p>
<p>2) Going from a B.A. in Philosophy to an M. Eng. or an M.S. Engineering is not impossible, but it is very unlikely UNLESS you have completed a very large number of math, engineering, and science courses during your undergraduate program. Read the university websites to see what the pre-reqs are for the graduate courses in the M.Eng. and M.S. Engineering course sequences.</p>
<p>3) Check the degree requirements of the programs you’d like to transfer into, and choose your coursework so that it meets those requirements.</p>
<p>4) The Ivies are not necessarily the best place to pursue studies in Engineering. They are also very difficult to transfer into. You need to consider your long term professional goals, the amount of money you have available to pay for your education, and whether a degree from the US will make you employable in your home country. You can find all of the accredited engineering programs here: [ABET[/url</a>]</p>
<p>5) If you haven’t already done so, you should read the information at the International Student Forum here at CC, and you should visit the local office of EducationUSA to discuss your goals with the advisors there. These people are truly expert on helping students from your country find good places to study in the US.
