Transferring to another school at the end of 10th grade is not an easy decision to make. From a college counseling point of view, if you are not challenged enough at the current school and want to transfer, or if there are other inevitable reasons, then usually your motivation will be justified. Other than those reasons, it is recommended to remain at the current school and graduate with good grades. If you still want to transfer, then you might want to consider the following things especially if you plan to apply to selective colleges later.
First, if possible, transfer to a more competitive high school with more rigorous academic programs. Even catholic high schools varies in terms of academic rigor, independent catholic schools (not diocesan schools) tend to have more challenging academic programs and their admission process is more selective. Thus, these schools tend to have higher SAT average scores and to send their graduates to more competitive colleges. Please keep in mind that there are still good diocesan schools too. I am curious which type of school you currently attend at this time. Or you can apply to non sectarian private schools which do not have any association with religious denominations. Many boarding schools are in this category. -
Second, you mentioned that you would want to go California. I advise you that the location of the school is at this stage of your high school experience (you are going to be a junior) is not that important. Your focus is to find a right school that helps you to go to a better college if you transfer.
Third, although it is late to make a new application to a good school, there are still chances to get accepted to a better school. This just needs more works to find it. Application process for many good schools is officially over, nevertheless, some of these schools are still looking for good candidates for their schools if students are attractive. Prime Global -
在10年級(jí)下半年轉(zhuǎn)校是一個(gè)值得思考的問題。從大學(xué)咨詢的角度來看,如果你認(rèn)為目前學(xué)校課業(yè)難度滿足不了自己的需求,或是其他特殊原因所致你必須轉(zhuǎn)校的話,除此之外,還是建議你留在目前的學(xué)校,并且爭(zhēng)取得到更好的分?jǐn)?shù)。特別是,你將來的目標(biāo)是名牌大學(xué)的話 那么請(qǐng)考慮下面幾點(diǎn)因素:
首先,如果有可能的話轉(zhuǎn)到更具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力,學(xué)術(shù)課程更難的高中。不同天主學(xué)校課業(yè)難度差別也很大。獨(dú)立的天主教學(xué)校往往有更多具有挑戰(zhàn)性的學(xué)術(shù)課程,他們對(duì)學(xué)生的錄取也往往精挑細(xì)選。因此,這些學(xué)校通常有較高的SAT平均分,他們的畢業(yè)生會(huì)進(jìn)入到更具競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的院校。請(qǐng)注意,還有不錯(cuò)的教區(qū)學(xué)校。我很好奇你目前就讀的學(xué)校屬于什么類型?;蚴悄阋部梢钥紤]非教派的私立學(xué)校。許多寄宿學(xué)校屬于這一類。
其次,你提到想去加州。我建議你現(xiàn)在考慮的重點(diǎn)應(yīng)該放在什么樣的學(xué)校可以幫助你進(jìn)入更好的大學(xué)就讀,而不是學(xué)校的位置。
第三,雖然現(xiàn)在申請(qǐng)名校已經(jīng)為時(shí)已晚,但是你仍然還是有機(jī)會(huì)去好學(xué)校就讀。只是需要花更多精力去尋找和申請(qǐng)。即使很多學(xué)校的申請(qǐng)截止日期已過,如果你學(xué)習(xí)背景經(jīng)歷等足夠優(yōu)秀的話還是有很多機(jī)會(huì)的。

我在美國(guó)一所獨(dú)立高中任教。你能否告訴我為什么你要轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)呢?你的學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)?nèi)绾危?br /> 十年級(jí)讀完轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)讀最后兩年高中機(jī)會(huì)還是有不少的,因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在留學(xué)生申請(qǐng)的學(xué)校很多,但只能去一所學(xué)校。一般,多數(shù)學(xué)校會(huì)有多余的名額空出來的。
我不是中介,從來不收一分錢費(fèi)用的。如果你任得過我,可以和我聯(lián)系。
