<p>Hello everyone!
I am having so hard time deciding which university/college to transfer. US or Canada?
I am an undergraduate, international, transfer sophomore!
I am currently accepted by this really-small college and offered scholarship in USA, and also few big universities in Canada accepted me(but no scholarship, tuition fees really matter for me).
Is it okey to graduate from small, unknown college first, and go for my masters in high-ranking big university? Does previous college matter for further studies n all?</p>

<p>Please give me some advise, and that would be the warmest help! :></p>

<p>What’s the school? Just because it’s small and you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a good reputation here. And yes, you certainly can go to a smaller school for undergrad and then go to a more prestigious one for your masters.</p>

<p>Graduate school admissions is based on

  1. your grades in college, and the courses you earned those grades in
  2. your GRE exam scores
  3. your statement of purpose
  4. your letters of recommendation from your undergraduate instructors
  5. any work experience, internships, undergraduate research, or publications that are related to your intended graduate field.</p>

<p>People get into great graduate schools every single year from small colleges that you have never heard of. You are an international student. There are something like 3,000 colleges and universities in the USA. None of us here have heard of each and every one of them! If you are specifically concerned about graduate school admissions from your small college in one specific field, the best people to advise you are the professors in that department at that college. They know exactly how many students they have sent to graduate schools in the past few years.</p>
