Yeah, but you can't apply directly in, and that's the whole point. You have to had attended some other school within california for the chance of you getting accepted to increase. You have completely missed the point.

I wish I knew this. Now it's too late for me. : ( Already in my last year in Canada. But it would've nice to graduate from a top school in the US and work there.

you could always just go to grad school and it'll be the same.

even their own students can't apply directly in.. usually they recommend going community colleges 1st.. that's why a lot of opt to go other private unis like USC... the top would already run to caltech, stanford... left back the errr.. not so good of the cream?

maybe u r right... hmmm
canada is so much easier to apply working visa... would love to go there after my stint in uncle sam...

Working visa in Canada is indeed easier to apply but I prefer working in the US more than Canada after tasting both sides. In any case, I think if you are a grad from US, I think you can easily request to work her and eventually settle here if you'd like.

well, u can save a great deal of $$$, trust me... 2+2 is the best
not exactly... u must know d best way... which i will explain below
not exactly... i have been to berkeley, UCLA n stanford... if u enter their campus u will realise it is 40% international yellow skin students... no joke... but mostly these students are from US allied countries like japan, HK, taiwan

the best way to enter those elite unis in the west as in west coast is to enter community colleges 1st... then transfer credit in, that's the recommendation of most counsellors there...

UCs accept top 87.5% of their high school grads... wherelse CSUs accept top 70%... so if u really wanna enter... i would say enter a not so established UC or a good CSU... then transfer credit during ur 3rd year

top 87.5% of their percentile is not that hard.. whities.. if u score near straight As during SPM or pre-u ... then u should be able to cope ^^

hey. so i;m doing IGCSE now, mocks just finish, can i use the forecast results to apply to ommunity college 1st? then only go proper college after that? or do u mean i need to do idp 1st, then get into community college then go into uni?
thx btw dude, for giving me so much info

If you get a good result, you can apply for the SAT test before you take your actual spm exam. If you scored high, they will accept you to study in America.

what? ._. slim chance? I'm doing my a levels now actually...
Do i have to be more than awesome to get accepted as a freshman into uni? okay this sucks. ;_;

Have anyone on this thread with experience on doing a credit transfer to the US.
Here's the thing, I enrolled in a local college doing a UK(hons) bach. eng degree and completed my first semester. However I want to transfer hopefully to the US.
Is it possible after the first or must it be after the second year?
Must I still sit for SAT?
Do I have to go through MACEE or go straight to the universities?
I'm studying mechanical engineering, what are good universities option available other than the famous ones?
