Hi I am an international student and I really want to come to brynmawr....I even applied this year as a freshman......but was rejected ......( Well i dont really have stellar highschool transcript..my mid year grades were pathetic.)......But after that I strted working hard.......and now I am hoping to transfer to bryn mawr....since i am not much in lov with the college i am going to be attending....

Can anyone plz give me suggestions .... wat shud i do to stand out in the transfer pool? and is it better if I transfer as a sophomore or a junior? does bryn mawr hav any preferences...do they prefer juniors to sophomores or vice-versa?...... any datas....would be welcome..

A friend of mine transferred here after her first semester! The earlier you transfer the better. If you transfer in as a junior, you might have a hard time getting all the college graduation requirements done on time; and you wouldn't have much time to get to know professors in the department before you start working on a thesis and ask for letters of recommendations for job or graduate school applications, etc. You also wouldn't have the option to study abroad if that's something you are interested in.

I don't know if that's a factor or not, but you should also be aware that Bryn Mawr does not have much financial aid for international transfer students. I think international transfers only qualify for financial aid if they transfer from another American college.

Thank u b@r!um

I will be attending an american college......and I do want to transfer as soon as I can ... But I am worried that I will just have one college semester to show on my transcript and my highschool record will still play a huge role....( my final grades are good but I am worried abt the Ds I got in my mid year.... although I did show a constant improvement in the exams after that)......

It's great to hear yr friend transferring after her first semester.......can u tell me how her gpa was in high school?...it must have been better than mine......btw did she apply as a freshman?---- I did and got rejected......but I like to think the rejection was mostly due to the pathetic supplements I wrote.

Thanks.

Hi angelwitch
I dont think there is a limit. And actually I dont think any college has that limit.
