[severe ibex]

i think for LSe at least its 3 years?

[wild ridge]

Yes that's how it usually is in the UK

How many 5s do you have and in which subjects? That's what UK unis care about

[elder orchid]

Brandeis

good target

[elder orchid]

BU is good for transfer

[dry vessel]

IU Bloomington, University of Michigan, Yale, JHU, Harvard,

UK: UCL, Surham (idk about their transfer policies)

If interested, Canada: University of Toronto

For safeties, go for your public state schools that have at least some of what u want in terms of history content

[faint rose]

Dartmouth isn't really viable for transfer

Where are you now? What are you not able to accomplish there?

I kinda realized this a while ago its been on my list but Ik im prob not getting in lolol. Id be at CC next year. What im looking for is a strong humanities/history program in general esp. for ancient studies Brown is my first choice rn due to their egyptology program, but im also thinking about TED to Uchicago

[severe ibex]

I need to tour

[severe ibex]

whats brandeis like

[severe ibex]

thank u!! im thinking of touring umich soon

JHU im like torn if i apply

i think it does have a rlly good egypt program

[faint rose]

oh coming from CC changes things a little

[dry vessel]

yuh. i just picked schools that have "top" egyptology programs lol

[severe ibex]

I realized that lol, the one thing that helps me a tiny bit for brown/uchi/nu/nyu is im full pay

for UK schools, how many APs do they want?

like 5s

like LSE/UCL

[faint rose]

Top schools want 5

many want 3

and v ery quickly it becomes 3

like Manchester is just 3

and is a very top school

[dry vessel]

it's a Jewish college so a lot of the community are Jewish students which is pretty cool. So it'll definitely have a Hillel you can join.

Idk if this major has the specific time period of Greece that you're looking for https://www.brandeis.edu/registrar/bulletin/provisional/courses/subjects/1200.html#

@faint rose Do you know where to find accurate sources for transfer process? I feel it has much more minimal information online than 1st year

[severe ibex]

ty!

[faint rose]

there is definitely a lot less info, obvious far fewer people do it

your community college would presumably have advisors

[severe ibex]

Got it tysm

[elder orchid]

very very strong Jewish community but its also liberal

its in Waltham mass so boston suburbs

good for humanities

[severe ibex]

thank u!!
