International transfer student - what are my chances of getting in?

International Students
1

Hi, I am a student in Europe interested in trasferring to a US university starting for my second year. I would like to know what colleges I would have a chance at getting in and any chance of getting a scholarship / financial aid. Currently i’m studying Law at university, but when I transfer I will most likely major in Computer Science or Finance.

GCSE grades: 2 A*s, 2As, 6 Bs and 2 Cs (German and Product Design)
A Levels: BDD

I did a Foundation Year at University before starting my Law degree at a reasonably good Uni, and I have achieved good grades so far in my degree.

Extra Curricular:
My biggest achievement is that I own a successful online business (website) that is a registered company in the UK and has over 25,000 monthly users.
I was the captain of my school’s squash team in high school
I have also had a part time internet job as an independent contractor for a large US tech company for 2 years

Thanks for any thoughts / advice! :slight_smile:

You could apply as a squash player to Trinity college.
What’s your budget? How good was your squash team?
But overall transfer students fare very poorly - no financial aid and fewer spots open for them. In addition, your two D’s at A-Level will hurt you, even with the good grades in Foundation year and GCSE’s.
Your HS GPA is [(4.3 + 4.3 + 4 + 4 + (6x 3.5) + 3 + 3)/12] + [ (3.5 + 2.5 + 2.5) /3 ] /2 = ? <- calculate

You have to be nationally or internationally ranked to get into Trinity as a squash player. Most of their players are from the international junior and even pro circuit.
