<p>Hi,
I am an International applicant (Indian), I'll be joining San Jose State University for Masters in Science in Software Engg in Fall 2009.</p>
<p>I am interested in taking a transfer to UCLA, Columbia, USC, UPENN, Stanford (a lil ambi).
But I don't have any idea about taking a transfer. So, my questions are:</p>
<ol>
<li>When can I apply for a transfer if I start my graduate studies from Fall 2009?</li>
<li>What are the prerequisite for the transfer in Graduate studies?</li>
<li>Taking a holistic view, what is the general rate of transfer to some of the good colleges?</li>
<li>Do colleges have also a processing fee for transfer?</li>
</ol>
<p>My GRE score is 1100, 3.2 GPA in UG course from India.</p>
<p>Help will be appreciated!</p>
<p>Regards</p>
