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年級下半年轉校是一個值得思考的問題。從大學咨詢的角度來看,如果你認為目前學校課業(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校的話,除此之外,還是建議你留在目前的學校,并且爭取得到更好的分數(shù)。特別是,你將來的目標是名牌大學的話 那么請考慮下面幾點因素:
首先,如果有可能的話轉到更具有競爭力,學術課程更難的高中。不同天主學校課業(yè)難度差別也很大。獨立的天主教學校往往有更多具有挑戰(zhàn)性的學術課程,他們對學生的錄取也往往精挑細選。因此,這些學校通常有較高的SAT平均分,他們的畢業(yè)生會進入到更具競爭力的院校。請注意,還有不錯的教區(qū)學校。我很好奇你目前就讀的學校屬于什么類型?;蚴悄阋部梢钥紤]非教派的私立學校。許多寄宿學校屬于這一類。
其次,你提到想去加州。我建議你現(xiàn)在考慮的重點應該放在什么樣的學??梢詭椭氵M入更好的大學就讀,而不是學校的位置。
第三,雖然現(xiàn)在申請名校已經(jīng)為時已晚,但是你仍然還是有機會去好學校就讀。只是需要花更多精力去尋找和申請。即使很多學校的申請截止日期已過,如果你學習背景經(jīng)歷等足夠優(yōu)秀的話還是有很多機會的。

我在美國一所獨立高中任教。你能否告訴我為什么你要轉學呢?你的學業(yè)成績如何?
十年級讀完轉學讀最后兩年高中機會還是有不少的,因為現(xiàn)在留學生申請的學校很多,但只能去一所學校。一般,多數(shù)學校會有多余的名額空出來的。
我不是中介,從來不收一分錢費用的。如果你任得過我,可以和我聯(lián)系。
