每年都會有國內(nèi)的大學(xué)生、美國本科的學(xué)生，或者已經(jīng)就讀于其他國家本科的學(xué)生來申請美本轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)。那對于美本轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)，我們需要提前做好哪些準(zhǔn)備，才能夠轉(zhuǎn)入理想中的學(xué)校呢?

　　▍轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)材料

通常來說，對于轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)申請者，學(xué)校需要我們提供的材料如下：

• 高中官方成績單

• 大學(xué)官方成績證明

• 大學(xué)課程內(nèi)容(課程內(nèi)容介紹;課后作業(yè)的內(nèi)容;課程次數(shù);學(xué)分占比等)

• 語言成績

• 推薦信

• SAT & ACT(看學(xué)校要求)

• 申請費(fèi)

對于每個(gè)學(xué)校的轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)材料來說，都有一些小出入，比如有的學(xué)校要三封推薦信，但是有的學(xué)校要兩封推薦信;或者，有些學(xué)校需要同學(xué)們必須提供SAT 或ACT的成績，但是有的學(xué)校是可選擇性提交的。

因此，在這里提醒同學(xué)們，對于準(zhǔn)備申請轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)的材料還需要查清楚每一個(gè)學(xué)校的要求，做好充分的準(zhǔn)備。通常學(xué)校也會注明，對于已經(jīng)獲得學(xué)士學(xué)位的學(xué)生是不符合轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)的條件的。

　　▍轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)申請系統(tǒng)

對于轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)的申請系統(tǒng)來說，有同學(xué)們在申請美本本科時(shí)非常熟悉的The Common Application Transfer Application”，也有The Coalition Application Transfer Application ”，加州學(xué)校通過UC Application”申請。

不同的學(xué)校對于申請系統(tǒng)也做了不同的要求，比如斯坦福大學(xué)、范德堡大學(xué)等學(xué)校是可以通過Common和Coalition兩個(gè)系統(tǒng)來申請轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)，像普林斯頓大學(xué)就只能通過Common系統(tǒng)來進(jìn)行申請。

　　▍轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)申請時(shí)間

轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)申請時(shí)間通常在每年的3月中旬左右，需要學(xué)生將準(zhǔn)備好的材料以及文書遞交給學(xué)校，通常在每年的5月份左右學(xué)校會給出轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)的結(jié)果。具體每個(gè)學(xué)校的轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)截止時(shí)間還需要同學(xué)們做好提前的查校工作，不要錯(cuò)過截止的時(shí)間。

　　▍轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)文書

轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)文書一般包括主文書、附表文書以及推薦信這三部分內(nèi)容。下面的文書要求以密歇根安娜堡大學(xué)為例，大家可以做一個(gè)簡單的參考。

Everyonebelongs to many different communities and/or groups defined by (among other things) shared geography, religion, ethnicity, income, cuisine, interest, race, ideology, or intellectual heritage. Choose one of the communities to which you belong, and describe that community and your place within it. (Required for all applicants. 1,500 character limit.)

Pleaseprovide a statement that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve. (1,500 character limit)

The essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice. What do you want the readers of your application to know about you apart from courses, grades, and test scores? Choose the option that best helps you answer that question and write an essay using the prompt to inspire and structure your response. (1,250-3,250 character limit, approx. 250-650 word limit. The application won't accept a response shorter than 250 words.) Remember: 650 words is your limit, not your goal. Use the full range if you need it, but don't feel obligated to do so.

Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?

Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.

Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.

Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?

Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
