<p>lol you've got compelling reasons.</p>

<p>Cambridge University doesn't accept international transfers, nor does Oxford.</p>

<p>Just when I thought I'd seen everything. :eek: Try studying abroad in the UK after transferring to an American college. Your current GPA isn't quite high enough to qualify for study abroad at Cambridge, though. </p>

<p>There are many different accents in the UK, by the way.</p>

<p>lol UK schools don't take transfers. and if you can 'barely' take 3 classes I don't think you'll have fun at cambridge</p>

<p>Yes, they don't accept transfers.
You would have to apply for admissions as a freshman. (Which is fine because most courses [thats what they call majors] are 3 years.)
Also, freshman admissions due date was October 15 (in the UK Oxford and Cambridge have their own special extra-early due date) so you'd have to apply for 2008 entry.
Also the admissions for the Economics course is naturally by far the toughest.
If you have any questions feel free to email me.</p>

<p>Westchester CC has a Cambridge transfer program. This may be the exception to the "they don't accept transfers" rule.</p>
