Hi. I am a prospect college freshman, and I know it’s little too early to discuss such an issue, but here I go.

I’ve been currently accepted to University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, but I am thinking of transfer in my second or third of college (there is reason…). I was thinking of transferring to another US schools, but one UK school came into my sight, and as you probably can guess, it’s Cambridge. Several resources showed me that transfer is not something very common in UK and transfer to school like Cambridge is virtually impossbile. Is it true? If not, I wish to know detailed process of applying for transfer student… (major is phyiscs)

Plus… this is not about int. tans., but I am wondering how important is high school grade in transfer admission. I certainly did NOT bomb my high school years, but the only weakness I have is that I took several not rigorous courses in my 9th grade. I am not sure what my college transcript will look like, but I am nearly sure that they will be really good (aiming for GPA of 3.9~4.0). My dream schools are MIT, Caltech, and U Chicago, and I would appreciate your advice regarding this. It will be fantastic if you transferred to one of those schools from U of M…

Thanks!!
