International Transfers.

Since I’m now planning to go to college here in Pakistan for this year after unsuccessfully applying to Colleges in the US, I find myself looking at alternate options that might help me to still be able to get a liberal arts degree. Here the courses aren’t so comprehensive or diverse. Taking a gap year is out of the question since I already took one. My problems now lie in the fact that transfer students get very limited aid, international transfer students even more so.


What colleges are known to be relatively generous with thier Aid packages for foreign students?


As I’ve already mentioned, the courses here aren’t so diverse. So Question no. 2 is,


Would American colleges transfer credits from, say, an engineering degree?


And finally,


Would it take me more time to graduate? What would happen if none of my courses transfer? Can you transfer and opt for accelerated graduation?


International transfer success stories would be greatly appreciated.
