一、转学材料：

通常来说，对于转学申请者，学校需要我们提供的材料如下：

高中官方成绩单

大学官方成绩证明

大学课程内容（课程内容介绍；课后作业的内容；课程次数；学分占比等）

语言成绩

推荐信

SAT & ACT（看学校要求）、

申请费

对于每个学校的转学材料来说，都有一些小出入，比如有的学校要三封推荐信，但是有的学校要两封推荐信；或者，有些学校需要同学们必须提供SAT 或ACT的成绩，但是有的学校是可选择性提交的。因此，在这里提醒同学们，对于准备申请转学的材料还需要查清楚每一个学校的要求，做好充分的准备。通常学校也会注明，对于已经获得学士学位的学生是不符合转学的条件的。

二、转学申请系统

对于转学的申请系统来说，有同学们在申请美本本科时非常熟悉的“The Common Application Transfer Application”，也有“The Coalition Application Transfer Application ”，加州学校通过“UC Application”申请。不同的学校对于申请系统也做了不同的要求，比如斯坦福大学、范德堡大学等学校是可以通过Common和Coalition两个系统来申请转学，像普林斯顿大学就只能通过Common系统来进行申请。

三、转学申请时间

转学申请时间通常在每年的3月中旬左右，需要学生将准备好的材料以及文书递交给学校，通常在每年的5月份左右学校会给出转学的结果。具体每个学校的转学截止时间还需要同学们做好提前的查校工作，不要错过截止的时间。

四、转学文书

转学文书一般包括主文书、附表文书以及推荐信这三部分内容。下面的文书要求以密歇根安娜堡大学为例，大家可以做一个简单的参考。

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.)

Describethe unique qualities that attract you to the specific undergraduate College or School (including preferred admission and dual degree programs) to which you are applying at the University of Michigan. How would that curriculum support your interests? (Required for all applicants. 2,750 character limit.)

An optional essay related to the impact of COVID-19 on the applicant. We encourage students to share their specific circumstances, and will bring empathy and compassion to our holistic review process.

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.

以上是对美国本科转学的准备要求、文书内容以及申请时间的介绍，同学们在申请的过程中还是要确立好转学的目标院校，对于转入学校的前置课程、转学学分的要求比较复杂，具体的要求可以咨询顾问老师们，尽早做好转学申请材料等事项的准备。
