Lan Ngo commented on the post, College Transfer Admission Criteria: What's a "Good" GPA? 12 years ago

To answer your questions…
1 and 2) You can try applying to transfer as a sophomore, and if you don’t get the results you want, try applying as a junior (or midway between sophomore year, depending on the […]
Lan Ngo commented on the post, Adjusting to Stanford University as a Transfer Student 12 years ago

To clarify your question, you’re asking how I was able to have about $13,000 in student loans at Stanford and not have to borrow more than that? If that’s the question, I submitted a FAFSA […]

How exactly were you able to pay 13,000 in student loans at Stanford? Specifically, what did you apply to?
Lan Ngo replied to the topic Question about stanford majors in the forum Community College Transfers 12 years ago

To my knowledge, Stanford doesn’t make those statistics available (or those numbers may not even be calculated). I suggest that you apply to transfer with a stated major. This article has advice related to the […]
Lan Ngo replied to the topic Switching Majors in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

Do NOT apply as undecided. Most schools would expect you to have decided on a major. This article has related advice on why it’s important to have a major in mind when you’re applying to transfer: […]
Lan Ngo replied to the topic Transfer to Tulane or Vanderbilt in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

For most colleges/universities, your undergrad GPA will have more weight than your SAT I score, especially if you’re applying as a junior transfer.

Merit aid for transfer students are generally rare. You would […]

Thanks for the shout-out, Pash11.

Neagrizz, I’m not sure that you can apply as a transfer student. It sounds like you want to apply to a master’s program to become a physician’s assistant.
Lan Ngo replied to the topic SAT advice in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

Though more time is certainly ideal, it’s possible to raise your score in six weeks with discipline and hard work. Take practice tests and memorize SAT vocabulary words every single day up until you take the […]
Lan Ngo replied to the topic Transfer chance, pls advise me!!! in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

Definitely bring up your GPA. You should go ahead and apply to transfer next fall, as planned, with the the understanding that, if you don’t get into the college/university of your choice, you can apply again to […]
Lan Ngo replied to the topic Timeline in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

If you’re asking who you should contact regarding transcripts, the website of your college/university registrar’s should have information on how to request official transcripts. As for how to request your high […]

I was reading through the transferbook and you mentioned that LORs should be inquired upon in Jan along with the transcripts, and that the application essays should be completed in Jan. Any suggestions on who to […]
husky31 started the topic SAT advice in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

Do you recommend any sources in particular for doing well on the SAT I or do you feel as if it tests test-taking ability and cannot be really improved upon? If I have 6 weeks left (40 days) do you feel as if it is […]
husky31 started the topic Timeline in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

Now with fall semester over, I was just interested in getting a sense of “when” to go about sending in my materials to universities that I would like to transfer into Fall 2013.

When should I

Lan Ngo replied to the topic Transferring!??! in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years ago

You should definitely apply to transfer to those schools. It helps that you have a GPA that’s higher than the required minimum.

Makes sense, I think I’ll apply to my target schools clearly stating my interests and hopefully the “fit” factor via personalized “common essays” makes a difference. Thanks a lot for the post, very helpful. […]

I have a narrow, but impressive set of extracurriculars mostly dealing with domestic business, but I am interested in applying to “international business” or “international studies” type programs and I don’t have […]
husky31 replied to the topic Instructor Evaluations in the forum Four-Year Transfers 12 years, 1 month ago
