Hello sis! :) I'm applying to Wisconsin-Madison for the fall 2015 intake as a transfer student. I know that (if I'm not mistaken) your BF applied to the college as well. Could you perhaps like share with me about his academic or in general about int transfer student there? (Idk how to reach your BF)
Hello :)
Well, I won't disclose any specific information regarding Aiman's academic and all, but I can talk from the perspective of someone working in the Office of Admissions and Recruitment at UW-Madison.
International transfer students are generally a bit more complicated, but there's nothing much to worry about. We (as in the Office of Admissions) would require both your high school and pre-university transcripts, and TOEFL/IELTS score. SAT's recommended, though not required.
Typically, admitted transfer students have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (out of 4.0). Most courses that you take will be able to transfer over, though we will not be able to pre-evaluate those courses. Typically, general (like introductory) courses will transfer over as it is (say, like, Introductory Microeconomics or Calculus 1 or something like that), but more specialized courses like Advanced Biology or something may not have a similar course on campus and will be transferred over as elective credits.
And, hmmmm, what else would you like to know about transferring to UW-Madison? :)
