These days, getting into the best universities is almost impossible for most students. Even the most outstanding students with the average grade of a straight and a lot of extra curricular activities and leadership are being rejected from colleges. There are also many qualified students chasing too few points.
Many of the best universities around the world, just waiting list and then sit back and watch and see what happens.
If your child has been rejected in the best schools, especially a specific school who had their hearts set on, you have options and that's what I'll talk about in this article today.
I was rejected from the beginning 10 of the University I wanted to go. Picking up a school less highly rated as a message was not something I wanted to consider, so he made a plan and it worked for me, and it may just work for you. This is what I did ...
First thing I did was to investigate the area around the university I wanted to attend (we'll call X College). Most major universities are surrounded by other schools, either fewer schools that may have never heard of, or highly qualified community colleges.
I enrolled in a school in the community just across the street from the university ultimately he wanted to attend (school X).
Why do I do this? Many college professors, even the most popular schools, moonlight at the community college or lesser-known schools nearby to pick up some extra cash. I served through the catalog of courses in the X College and I compared it with the catalog of courses at the university and found a dozen teachers who teach in schools.
I enrolled in classes at the community college were taught by teachers who worked at the College X.
It is very easy to stand out in a community college and also very easy to get the best grades. I'm not ashamed to say it was also easy to catch the eyes of these teachers who are moonlighting at the university.
Then I got to know several of them, asked them to write letters of recommendation for me when I reapplied to college X.
It took me two years to get the best grades in the school community as well as several letters of recommendation from professors who work in the university I wanted to attend, but was finally accepted as a transfer student and ended up graduating with honors from the University X which is kind of ironic considering they had initially rejected my application.
Each year, major universities accept 100-200 or less (depending on the university) "Transfer students." Why do they do that? Because children drop out every year and they need to fill those seats. Once it is accepted as a transfer student, you become a student completes is no different from anyone else. In fact, unless you tell people, you know you never know you are a transfer student at all.
You can check out their website selected schools for information on specific transfer program and probably also download a transfer application and instructions.
Is this an extreme plan? Absolutely, it took me two years! But it works? Of course, and I'd do it again if given the chance.
