How to transfer from EU school (university) to USA school?

[KristinaJP 3]

Hi everyone,

 

I've been wondering if anyone has any experience with transferring to some US university/college?

 

Whom do I turn to- what kind of advisor, site? Do you know of any specific school that's very foreigner with Green card due to K1 friendly and acceptable (doesn't complicate a tons)? It's already confusing for all they kept asking me at A&M was if I'm a citizen and I don't know if I go under a citizen or a foreigner...?

 

I studied veterinary medicine at the university in Ljubljana , Slovenia. Due to health issues and move to US to be with my husband I couldn't finish and now with some new laws I may not ever be able to finish. But I want to have at least some kind of degree in US to be able to do work I love (lab work, field work, research). I tried contacting the A&M Texas vet school to at least get some guidance and see what kind of transfer is possible  and if at all and they were very stuck up, mean and uncooperative.  I surely don't want to go to vet school; my EU degree would be equivalent of Masters/PHd biomedical science and not professional vet degree.

 

Anyways, I'm really devastated by this all and surely don't want to go all the way back to a freaking high school or something (which again in my country I did great and got also vet tech degree out of it) for high school was enough that I did it once in my life...there's just so much of math,physics and other classes I'm completely not talented at that a person can live through.

 

THANK YOU for any help, ideas, experiences...anything...

 

Hope you have a wonderful day <3

You will be classed as a transfer student. http://registrar.tamu.edu/Registrar/media/REGI_Forms/residency_affidavit.pdf

 

I found that link on that College website it states that you qualify for Texas residency because of your pending adjustment of status. You will have to get your transcript from your previous college translated into something the university can compare to their system. Unfortunately you may still have a long road ahead of you. The US requires all undergrads take 60 credits of general education classes these are Math english etc along with 60 credits of a major depending on what they take as transfer you may spend another few years in college. But it is so worth it to have your degree. I transferred from a school in Ireland to one in the US and it's not hard you will meet ignorant people but that are many helpful people too.
