And i have a question, if i do good at university do i have a chance to transfer to good universities in the us? i said ‘’ good universities ‘’ as a graduate student ? After 4 years ( bachelor ) i can immediately apply?
“if I do good at university do i have a chance to transfer to good universities in the us?”
Transfer is not actually the correct word. If you do well as an undergraduate student in Montreal, then yes you can apply to graduate programs in the US. I know several people who did their undergrad in Canada and graduate school in the US.
When you apply to graduate schools, they will not care at all about high school. They will care about all of your years as an undergraduate student (typically 4), and will also care about other things that you did while in university such as whether you had an internship or worked with a professor on a research project. There is also something called the “graduate record exam” which is sort of similar to the SAT test, except that it is taken by university seniors who are applying to graduate schools. Some students take a gap year and work after getting a bachelor’s and before applying to graduate schools. They will often take the GRE during their gap year.
If im admitted into Concordia or UDEM etc… and i have very good grades during undergraduate courses and a perfect sat score, am i able to apply to a private good university in the us?
These universities are very good universities. Getting very good grades is very hard. If you have very good grades, a good to very good GRE/GMAT score, internships, and proof of leadership on campus, you have a shot at very good US and Canadian universities.
Guys im back with some infos ! So i saw a firm in my country ( france ) which is effective linguistique which proposes some summer courses in top universities like yale,berkeley,UCLA. I thought it will be interesting to go to summer sessions? Whats your opinions?
it’s interesting, but it’s 1) very expensive and 2) not super useful for college admissions. It MAY help you improve your English if the classes include international students from all over, not just French students!
Also, you don’t need to use the firm to register - basically any university in the US will have that. https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/academy/
(^residential program for Global Economics&Finance or Entrepreneurship in NYC, residential) https://language-institute.outreach.psu.edu/course-offerings#esl
(^ Penn State program to improve your English; you can rent a room on campus or, cheaper, sublet a student’s apartment in town) http://iep.utoronto.ca/adult/
(^Also ESL, in Toronto)
This is not a Yale-run program. And there are better ways to improve English for less than 7800 € (which seems to be moner you can’t afford to spend based on the rest of this thread).
They are just using/renting classrooms on the campus for rich French kids! It’ll be entirely worthless for college admissions purpose. This is NOT worth the money.
The programs I listed are BETTER because at least you are enrolled in real classes managed by the universities and taught by actual professors, not just renting space; you’ll have a recognized transcript from UToronto, Baruch (Business School of the University of New York), or Penn State. There are others if you want other examples.
Develop an area or areas of excellence outside the classroom
5, apply to US colleges for graduate school, bearing in mind grad school at top colleges in some fields can run close to $80-100k per year (for 2-3 years), often with little or no aid.
Also -
Don’t waste your time and money on non-competitive courses just because they are held at top colleges. If anyone who pays can go and especially if it’s taught by a third party, it’s not worth putting on your resume.
Thank you for your answers! I really want to improve my english to be honest, i said that im against the gap year, but idk if there are gap year in the usa for international student. Not on firm’s school but on real usa campuses! And yeah i want to have more info about summer schools that i can go during summer with my grades. @skieurope i got the money, i have around 200k the thing is that the less that i spend the better it is
Just because you got the money doesn’t mean you should waste it.
You have three possibilities above - programs that are serious, meet actual academic criteria, are organized by strong universities, and which you have a shot at getting into (if you move within a week to ten days, the deadlines are coming).
