A girl decided to study in the United States and wanted to apply to a top-ranked university. However, neither her regular grades nor her TOEFL score were particularly high, so she was only accepted by Michigan State University, which is ranked 70th. She felt dissatisfied. Is there any way to apply to a better university? Can she transfer schools if she is unsatisfied after enrollment?
More than 20% of students in the U.S. have experienced transferring schools. Yan Hong, an experienced American study-abroad consultant, suggests that if you think the school you are about to attend does not meet your expectations, and if you believe you still have untapped potential, then you might as well put the work for transferring schools on your agenda before going to study in the U.S., and make full psychological preparations.
