“全美20%以上的学生有过转学的经历，加州大学伯克利分校本科生院的毕业生一半左右是通过转学方式进去的。” 本科转学是美国学制中的一个优秀体现。你不仅可以从美国的一所大学转入另外一所大学，还可以从国内转到美国去学习，部分学校春秋两季都可以转学。因为美国本科教育的优秀体制在于：英雄不问出处，不管你目前处于什么位置（专科也好，社区学院也罢），她永远给你积极向上的平台。
大学阶段是一个大浪淘沙的过程，成绩差的学生被淘汰出去，外校的好学生被吸收进来。因此，很多学生为了保证能够申请成功，先选择比较保险的学校，到了美国之后，再转学到向往的大学。
Q8. I am currently studying at UC Berkeley, however, I feel like it is just too competitive for me so maybe I will transfer to a university that is somewhat lower ranked and a bit less competitive. I think that would be easy? I know my idea is kind of weird… (去了UC Berkeley，扛不住了，想去排名低一点，不是那么competitive的学校，是不是超级好转？我的想法是不是有点诡异…)
Wow this is a very interesting situation that I have actually never heard before. I think it’s actually very admirable that you acknowledge that Berkeley is possibly too competitive or not the right environment for you. The first thing that I would actually suggest is speaking to an academic advisor at Berkeley, just be sure that your problems or issues cannot actually be resolved by possibly changing major or seeking academic support. The only reason I say this is because Berkeley is obviously an excellent institution, and you just wanna make sure that you are transferring for the right reason.
这个问题很有趣，我以前从来都没有听人家问过。你能承认你认为伯克利对于你来说压力太大了，也真是一件非常可敬的事情。我首先还是建议先跟伯克利的学术顾问聊聊，看看你的问题是不是真的不能在学校解决，比如，改变专业或者增强对你的学术支持。我这么建议主要是因为伯克利确实是非常好的学校，所以你要确定你转学的理由是可理解而充分的才可以。 >>美国留学申请在线咨询
If after doing so and you’ve spoken to an academic advisor and you really do think that it is just not the right environment for you, then you are correct. It really shouldn’t be too hard to transfer somewhere else that’s lower ranked, however again you are still going to have to have done well in your academic course work. The thing here though is that they will be a little bit of vigol room or some room for errors in your grades since your reason for transferring is for the very reason that it is too competitive. So it shouldn’t be too hard as long as you are being an engaged student, and you really are transferring for the right reason.
如果你在和你的学术顾问聊过之后觉得确实是现在的环境对自己的未来发展不是很有利，那么，转出去也是可以的。如果你准备转到比自己排名低的学校，那么和你所猜测的一样，是不会很难的，但是你仍然要在你现在的学校表现良好才可以。可能在这方面比较不利的是，你刚才说你想要转学的原因是因为你认为伯克利对于你来说压力太大了，所以可能你的实际成绩也不是非常理想的。不过只要你能够在别的地方体现出你的奋进精神，并且你的转学理由阐述充分合理，那么应该也是不会有很大的问题的。
Again, as I’ve mentioned before, it is going to come down to your story about why you want to transfer and why your current institution-Berkeley is not a good fit for you academically, and why the new school you are applying to-whatever it is-is a better fit, and why you are gonna succeed there instead.
所以总结一下就是：你要说明为什么你想要转学，为什么伯克利不适合你，为什么你要申请的这个学校更加适合你，为什么你能够在这所新的学校里更成功。

Q9. I am in love with Yale, but Yale rejected me first time I applied to it as a freshman applicant. If I try second time now as a transfer student, would my past rejection be a disadvantage in the application? Once Yale receives my transfer application, would they instantly know that I have been rejected by them before as a freshman? Thanks!（我对耶鲁情有独钟，本科无情被拒，现在我还想转学过去，这个会有影响吗？如果我提交我的转学申请，学校那边会立马查到我之前申请过本科入学而且被拒了吗？）
Yes, unfortunately Yale is going to be able to see your previous application as soon as you apply for the second time as a transfer. They sought applications by name and identifying social security numbers for example in the US, and they will pretty easily be able to see that you had applied there the year before.
是的，非常不幸的是，你在再次申请耶鲁的时候，耶鲁是会看到你第一次申请的结果和材料的。他们会将你的名字输入系统，或者，如果是美国学生，他们还会用学生的身份证号锁定学生，然后看看你是不是之前申请过他们的学校。整个过程对他们来说非常容易。
It’s only going to be a disadvantage if you really have not done anything dramatically different from when you apply to Yale as an incoming freshman the year before.
不过你也不用怕，这个东西要两面看，它只有在如下这种情况下才会成为你的劣势：那就是你在距离上次申请之后，成绩活动方面都没有明显的改观或者进步。 >>在线咨询美国本科转学申请要求
For example, if you re-apply to Yale, you have similar grades, your activities are pretty much the same, and you use the same letters of recommendation, then you are probably going to get the same result. So in another words you can’t expect to apply to Yale with the very similar application and have a different result. If you apply with a similar application, you are going to have a similar result which was the first time, a denial.
比如，你在从新申请耶鲁的时候，在校分数和你当时的水平是相近的，活动基本没有变，推荐信也是一模一样的，那么结果也是一样的，那就是悲剧。所以你如果希望第二次申请的结果不同，就一定不能期望用同一套申请材料，获得与之前不同的结果。
However, if your grades have improved significantly, and you have maybe an impressive new activity on your resume and you have some great letter of recommendation writer who at your current university who can write some really glowing positive recommendation, then that might be working for another application.
另一方面，如果你的成绩相较于你以前的水平有了明显的进步，而且你在上次申请之后又做了一些新的，比较有含金量的活动，有了新的推荐人给你写推荐信，那么你的申请可能会有不同的结果。
Another good thing to do would be to have an expert or someone take a look at your previous application to Yale and look for any of what we call “red flags”, or any pieces of the application that they think were maybe what led to the rejection. So for example maybe your TOEFL score was actually below their minimum, and that’s why they rejected you. Everything else looks great, so maybe it is just the TOEFL score. If that’s the case, you want to retake the TOEFL and you want to make sure that you are quite a bit above their minimum requirement the second time you apply.
另外还可以做的就是，找寻申请方面比较有经验的人，看看你之前的申请材料中，主要是什么方便导致你被拒的。比如可能上次只是因为你的托福成绩还不够好，那么可能你要考虑再多准备准备托福，希望第二次申请的时候你的托福成绩能够有明显提高。
This goes for other pieces of your application as well, so it’s maybe the red flag was an SAT score or an SAT subject test. You can retake them or you should find some way to address whatever the thing was in your previous application that we think may have led to the rejection, and that the second time around should hopefully give your application a little bit more of an advantage and you might get a better chance the second time around.
或者可能出问题的是你的SAT或者SAT2的成绩，那么同样的你要从新考试并且找寻到合适的方式去和要申请的学校沟通，提出这次申请中在前一次申请中不足方面的进步。
Again the biggest thing, with this question, is to really just make sure that your application is different and hopefully addresses the reasons why you may have been rejected in the first place. We don’t want to apply with the similar application. We want to apply with a new and an improved application.
所以总结一下这个问题的中心主旨，那就是：你必须要在第二次申请中突出你于第一次申请时候的不同和改进，如果申请材料基本和第一次没什么区别，那么得到的结果肯定也是一样的。
