Did you get into ASU Barrett?
Hey I’m an international. I also am open (would try) transferring to a US T-20 after 2nd sem.
Does UofAlberta win in this aspect too?
No I didn’t. I got into the W.P. Carey School of Business at ASU.
However, at UofAlberta, I was admitted to the Econ program offered by the Faculty of Arts. Plan on double majoring in Math.
it’s very hard to get into a T20 as a freshman transfer. Some don’t even admit freshman transfers. So, don’t choose your university based on that criterion.

No I didn’t. Check my reply above your last comment please
If you try and transfer after freshman year to a T20 they will look at your high school record. If you were denied at a T20 as a freshman you will be denied as a sophomore.
