如果要走正规途径，不是托关系去的话
第一个问题。首先要申请转去国外一流大学（范围包括：以英美为例，牛津，剑桥，帝国理工，伦敦大学学院，伦敦政治经济学院。和美国的top20）的学生必须在高考时成绩为本省的top1%，并在大一时成绩平均到90%以上，这是硬指标必需达到。学校起码是211大学。但通常只有国内top20才有希望，但成功的好像除了清华,北大之外也只有中科大，复旦，交大符合录取最低标准。至于山大川大之流就好像没听说了。。你朋友是辽宁大学的，应该不会是高考top1%。至于辽宁大学的排名么。嘿嘿，不用我多说了。这是最正常的途径。
其次可以走另外途径，也就是有人推荐你，但是要是诺贝尔奖获得者。比如耶鲁开过先例。但你一定要有那个实力才行。
还有就是美国著名私立大学会特别愿意招收来自异文化国家的有影响力的人物的子女后代，比如阿拉伯王子之类，为的是能够将美国式的精神价值观传播开来。如果你同学也算身家显赫比喻有在中央当部长级以上的爷爷或者父亲的话就有希望。
另外，就是有突出的个人成就，打个比方如果是学数学的，对哥德巴赫猜想这类的理论突破有重大贡献。比如学文学的得了龚古尔奖，诺贝尔文学奖之类。这些大学有可能会破格录取的。
最后就是拿钱找人过去，中外都一样。不用我多说了吧。我确实有个远亲是走后门进去的，打那个孩子至一年就回来了，竞争之激烈就是你是清华的top5%也就是个average。但不是绝对的，一句话，看你能力吧。
第二点，助学金（即你说的“奖学金”）牛津剑桥是没有的，对于本国学生每年有补助。但外国学生没有。而且外国学生学费要高点。你可以去他们的网站查。所以你也无从申请，至于奖学金是跟国内一样看学期成绩，还有给奖学金的权利在教授，能否获得赏识是关键。美国大学比如HYPS即哈佛耶鲁普林斯顿斯坦福是不会考虑你是否申请助学金的比如耶鲁大学的政策。
Yale Cuts Costs for Families and Students
From the Yale Office of Public Affairs
New Haven, Conn. — Yale University President Richard C. Levin announced today that Yale is reducing the average cost of sending a student to Yale College by over 50% for families with financial need. This new policy will apply to all students returning to campus in the fall as well as entering freshmen. This represents the largest increase in spending for financial aid in the University’s history.
The reduction in costs will be spread across a broad range of incomes. Families with incomes below $120,000 will see their contributions cut by more than 50%, while most families with incomes between $120,000 and $200,000 will see cost reductions of 33% or more.
Families earning less than $60,000 annually will not make any contribution toward the cost of a child’s education, and families earning $60,000 to $120,000 will typically contribute from 1% to 10% of total family income. The contribution of aided families earning above $120,000 will average 10% of income.
Yale also is increasing the number of families who qualify for aid, eliminating the need for students to take loans, enhancing its grants to families with more than one child attending college, exempting the first $200,000 of family assets from the assessment of need, and increasing expense allowances for foreign students during school vacation periods. Yale calculates financial aid by taking into consideration a family's total income and assets, family size and number of children in college, family medical bills, state of residence, and a number of other factors.

[email protected]The combined changes will increase Yale’s financial aid budget by more than $24 million, to over $80 million annually. Yale also announced that it would hold its increase in tuition, room, and board charges in 2008-2009 to the expected level of consumer price inflation, 2.2%.
“Yale should be a college of choice for the very best and brightest students from across America and around the world, regardless of financial circumstances. We want all of our students to make the most of Yale – academically and beyond – without worrying about excessive work hours or debt. Our new financial aid package makes this aspiration a reality,” said Levin.
Building on a Yale tradition
In 1966, Yale was the first private research university in the United States to establish need-blind admissions, where candidates are evaluated for admission without regard to financial need. Yale also committed at the same time to meet the full demonstrated financial need of every U.S. student who was admitted. Yale awards no merit scholarships and no athletic scholarships – all financial aid is based solely on demonstrated need. For over four decades, Yale has not wavered from this commitment. In 2001 it extended this policy to foreign students, and it has increased aid numerous times to reduce the financial burden of a Yale education. Three years ago, Yale exempted families with less than $45,000 in income from making a financial contribution to the cost of attendance.
As grants to families increase dramatically, students also will see the amount they are expected to contribute from their own earnings fall sharply, from the current rate of $4,400 to $2,500 per year. Students may earn that amount by working on campus for about seven hours a week, eliminating the need to take loans or to work excessive hours.
Additionally, Yale will increase the adjustment for families with additional children attending college and add to the allowance already given to international students to help them with expenses when school closes for vacations.
To increase transparency, the University is building an online calculator to provide families with a way of estimating net cost of attendance. By this summer Yale will have a web tool for helping families make an initial estimate of their expected contributions.
Here are some examples:
Examples of Parental and Student Annual Contributions
Case A Case B Case C
Parents’ Income $60,000 $90,000 $180,000
Parents’ Assets $100,000 $150,000 $200,000
Parents’ Contribution:
One child in college
New policy 0 $2,950 $23,050
Old policy $4,450 $12,550 $38,150
Parents’ Contribution:
Two children in college
New policy 0 $1,500 $11,650
Old policy $2,750 $7,350 $22,300
Student’s Contribution
New policy $2,500 $2,500 $2,500
Old policy $4,400 $4,400 $4,400
Financial aid improvements have not been the only component of Yale’s efforts to increase access for students from families of limited or modest means. As part of its nationwide outreach, the undergraduate admissions office now sends over 100 Yale students as outreach ambassadors each year to high schools around the country with large numbers of economically disadvantaged students. Yale also has entered into partnerships with non-profit organizations such as Questbridge and College Summit to assist high performing lower-income students in understanding their college options and achieving their aspirations. Questbridge is a national non-profit program matching high-achieving lower-income students with many of the country’s most selective colleges; College Summit is a national non-profit program that assists students from disadvantaged school districts with the college application process.
Peter Salovey, Dean of Yale College said, “For the past few years, our committees on financial aid have hosted discussions with a broad range of student groups, and we have listened closely to the specific appeals and comments of Yale families as we have also researched broader trends. The attention given by student leaders in the Yale College Council to issues surrounding access and diversity has been commendable and helpful.”
Yale’s administrators and trustees continue to consider other uses of the university’s resources to expand access, including the possible expansion of the size of Yale’s undergraduate student body. Additionally, Yale will make more of its intellectual treasury available without charge to the public. Yale recently launched Open Yale Courses, which placed the full content of a groupof popular undergraduate courses online for free.

另外好像是教育部什么的貌似有每年赞助在牛桥的中国学生30-40名的计划，不太清楚。
第三点，雅思过7分是必须的如果你要申请Oxbridge的话这是底线，过不了的话是绝对不会被考虑的。一般被录取的都会是7.2以上的，因为既然学习好到考牛桥的英语分数只能是无限+++。Oxbridge没有预科所以你必须到达能听课的程度，如果你朋友是学理工的就比文科要求低些，文科经济，管理类就比文学历史要求低。如果同样分数比如一个申请物理系和一个申请历史系的考同样分数历史那个是没戏的。所以你朋友如果是文科只考7分的话录取几率就很低。
面试么同教授语言交流是必须的，陈述些观点回答问题。牛桥是教授面试的。他们是很敏锐的，没想还就乱说会死的很惨。至于专业么，理科就会当面给一些问题算算。比如让你解两道题（通常是高中水平，再给一个没学过的命题让你证明或提出假设
这个通常是高中绝对接触不到的。文科会提些问题，大概只有本国高中水平。过程回忆起来不复杂但时间会很长大概要从9点到下午2点吧。你可以上网查查，会发现就这样差不多
综上所述你朋友是符合哪些条件他（她）应该会清楚，另外如果你朋友有论文发表（最好是国家一级期刊）就会减少与那些名校学生的差距。因为大一学生是很少有发表论文的。如果是理工科的话在高中获过国际奥林匹克竞赛金奖的话也会有力，但申请这些学校十个有九个获过这些奖的。很重要
最后呢，社会实践活动比如实习是会有加分的，或者义务活动去偏远地区支教过也是。如果这样的话你和另一个人如果其他条件差不多，甚至稍逊与他的话被录取的也通常会是你。但是什么校学生会，团委之类的就免了，没人看的
说实话这样转去的学生是最少的，也很难。
