<p>Hi, im currently trying to apply for this private college, Berea College in Kentucky.
I was informed that all international students earn scholarship as well as financial aid.
However, my ultimate goal is to transfer to ivy leagues.</p>
<p>My question is, is it possible for international students(financial aid recipient) in PRIVATE COLLEGE such as Berea College to transfer to ivy leagues?</p>
<p>It was quite hard to find out if credits earned from this college could trandfer to other universities.</p>
<p>One more thing, do universities have a different standards on receiving transfer students from private college and community college?</p>
<p>I do know that community college could transfer students.</p>
<p>I don’t know about Berea specifically, but generally it is possible to transfer from four year colleges/universities to other four year colleges/universities. </p>
<p>…but…Not all Ivy League schools take transfers. Plus, it’s even harder to get accepted as a transfer than a freshmen.</p>
<p>Only half of the ivies are need blind for internationals, and 2 of those don’t take transfers. Getting much aid as an international transfer to an ivy would take some amazing accomplishments.</p>
<p>I am sorry but what is need blind? i only know that it is some sort of policy not considering financial situation of an applicant in admission. But would you tell me more about this policy?</p>
<p>If you apply to a need-blind school, they will evaluate your admissions application without considering whether or not you need FA. If you apply to a need-aware school, they may consider whether or not you’re applying for FA and how much FA you will need when evaluating your admissions application. </p>
<p>For instance, last year, Reed college (need-aware) found themselves short of FA funds and as a result, some students who had requested FA were not accepted, and instead, Reed offered spots to students who did not request FA and therefore would pay full fare. </p>
<p>Need-blind is an admissions policy. It is sometimes mixed-up with schools that provide 100% of need, which is a FA policy and concerns how much of your need a school will give in FA.</p>
