Finally, someone has clarified the transfer application from Meiben University in one go!

In the United States, undergraduate transfer is a very common phenomenon. Not receiving an offer from their dream school, having a major that is not suitable for them, being located in a remote area, having limited teaching resources, and being unable to adapt to the school environment are all reasons why many students transfer schools; At the same time, due to the fact that the transfer admission rate of many top universities far exceeds the direct admission rate, transferring to top tier American universities has become an increasingly popular choice for more and more study abroad families. So, how should we operate the transfer program between American universities? When is the best time to transfer schools? Which top 30 universities are ‘transfer friendly’? What are the requirements? Let’s make it clear all at once today 👇 What is Meiben Transfer? American universities use “credits” to measure students’ learning level. As long as students complete the required credits according to the school’s regulations, they can graduate. This measurement method is relatively open, and even the transfer between schools or majors is more flexible. Therefore, American universities have a transfer system called Transfer Application, which mainly refers to students who have already studied at domestic universities being able to apply for credits to transfer to undergraduate studies at other universities in the United States, complete undergraduate courses at the transferred school, and obtain their undergraduate diploma and degree certificate. However, it should be noted that American universities generally require applicants to complete at least 24-30 credits in their previous university, and can only transfer up to 60 credits (the requirements vary from school to school, with some universities requiring students to complete 60 credits before accepting transfer). There are four main types of transfer schools in the United States: 👇✅ Transfer from Meiben to Meiben (Horizontal Transfer) ✅ Transfer from community college to four-year university (upward transfer) ✅ Transfer from a four-year university to a two-year university (downward transfer) ✅ International students (including those from mainland China) transferring to American universities are more common and easier to do so. To transfer from a local university to a US university, two additional materials need to be submitted: Course Description/Syllabus and university transcript authentication. Why transfer to a US university? ① By transferring from a US university, one can choose a major that aligns with their interests and abilities When applying for transfer, some American universities may waive the SAT score requirement for students Compared to graduating from high school and studying for an undergraduate degree, transferring after completing a portion of the credits for an undergraduate degree in China not only shortens the study abroad time but also saves on study abroad expenses Compared to freshmen who directly apply for undergraduate programs at American universities, many American universities have higher transfer admission rates For students who want to apply for graduate school in the United States, transferring schools and receiving local education in the United States as early as possible makes it easier to apply for prestigious universities and scholarships when applying for graduate school in the United States. American universities generally accept transfer applications for the following semesters: fall semester, spring semester, and summer semester. Almost all American universities accept transfer applications for the fall semester and have sufficient admission slots; Public universities and larger private universities may accept transfer applications for different semesters, but the admission quota may be relatively lower compared to the fall semester; Very few American universities accept transfer applications during the summer semester (New York University, Ann Arbor University of Michigan, University of Florida, etc.). Generally speaking, the transfer time between American universities is more common in freshmen and sophomores, with fewer transfers in juniors. American universities do not accept transfers in seniors. In addition, American universities determine the number of years a student can enter university based on the number of credits earned. If a student has 60 credits upon transfer, they can enter their third year of university. If there are 30-40 credits in American university, the student can enter the second year of college. 1) Transferring from freshman to sophomore year is suitable for students with ideal high school GPA and those who have failed to apply. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to whether the target school accepts freshmen transferring to sophomores. For example, UC system, University of Florida, University of Georgia, etc. do not accept freshmen to sophomores. In addition, it is important to maintain a good GPA for freshmen. Most universities require a clear major when applying for transfer programs, while a small number of universities may not specify a major. 2) Transferring from sophomore to junior year is suitable for students with less than ideal high school GPA, or for undergraduate students. Due to differences in course offerings, not all courses completed in China can be converted to credits when transferring from mainland China to American universities, so it is important to be prepared for retaking. 3) When transferring students from junior to senior year, most universities only offer a maximum of two years of credits for transfer, which means that at least two years of study at the future school are required to obtain the graduation certificate from that school. There are also some schools that allow students to transfer credits for three years, but such schools are very rare, so transferring after junior year will result in a loss of some credits. The GPA is the most crucial factor in determining the success of a transfer application to a US university. Most universities in the United States require transfer students to have a GPA of at least 3.0+(equivalent to an average score of 80 or above on the Chinese percentile system), while top ranked universities generally require transfer students to have a GPA of at least 3.5+(equivalent to an average score of 85 or above on the Chinese percentile system), or even 3.9+. Standardized Test Scores (TOEFL/IELTS/SAT): Most universities in the United States require transfer students to complete at least 30 credits to be exempt from SAT or ACT scores, and only need to provide TOEFL or IELTS scores. Activities that showcase unique experiences and interesting souls are different from those during university applications. Activities during transfer programs need to revolve more around academic pursuits, whether it’s participating in campus clubs, research projects, or internships outside of school, reflecting students’ depth of exploration in their professional fields. Thus, along with course selection, presenting one’s professional preparation to the target university for transfer. Generally, a maximum of one recommendation letter is required, and most universities require a recommendation letter from undergraduate students. However, some universities also accept recommendation letters from high schools, but it is more recommended to provide a recommendation letter from undergraduate students. The transfer documents are generally divided into three parts: the main document of CA, Why Transfer, and additional documents of the school. It is very important that you make the admissions officer believe that you transferred because of a mismatch between universities, rather than simply wanting to go to a better ranked school. Students who need to transfer courses need to provide a bilingual course description of the courses they have taken during their university studies, in both Chinese and English, along with the application materials, to the applying school. The school’s teachers will make a judgment based on the credit recognition standards of the school, that is, which course descriptions meet the content of the school’s courses and can be converted into credits, in order to determine whether the student can
How many credits will be transferred to this school. When interviewing for transfer applications from American universities, most universities require transfer students to submit an Intival View or Verican third-party interview. The prerequisite course requirements include general education courses, professional foundation courses, and professional prerequisite courses. Different universities may have different pre course requirements for different majors. This information can be found on the website of every university* If planning to transition from freshman to sophomore year, it is recommended to choose multiple general education courses; If you plan to transfer from sophomore to junior year, you should take as many professional foundation courses and prerequisite courses as possible. Understand in advance the prerequisite course requirements of the target school for transfer students. For example, the business school at Cornell University requires at least two English writing courses, microeconomics, calculus, and a B or higher in statistics.
