Basic Questions about Tranfer + My Plan

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Thank u for reading and answering my questions.</p>

<p>I am an international student who went high school in U.S.</p>

<p>In my home country, all boys are requried to do military service.</p>

<p>My plan is to go military after I transfer to good school.</p>

<p>So, I want to transfer as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Here are my questions,</p>

<p>1) Do private schools accept transfer student as sophomore?
How about UC’s?</p>

<p>2) If i can transfer within 1 year
- what is the minimum units that i need to take?
- Do they just look at 1semester GPA? No HS records?
(how do they distinguish me from other applicants? )
(there arent enough informations about me )</p>

<p>3) How important Extra Curriculum?
U know it is very hard to get in a good position in club as first year</p>

<p>Please understand my writing style and errors.</p>

<p>1) yes, private universities as well as UC’s accept sophomore transfers.</p>

<p>2) for private universities (such as USC) there is no minimum # of units required. however, they will rely more on your hs stats and SAT scores.</p>

<p>3) EC’s will spruce up your app, but it is not the most important aspect. your GPA and progress of prereq completion are much more important than EC’s.</p>

<p>False. You must have a minimum of 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter) by the end of the spring quarter after you apply. This is considered Junior status.</p>

<p>Only in very special cases will UC’s accept sophomore transfers. However, this does not apply to the OP.</p>

<p>You can transfer to a UC after 1 year of community college if you have enough AP credits to satisfy requirements.</p>
