18.02 Credit

<p>Oh yeah, that's true - you get credit for 8.01 if you have 5s on Physics C both Mech and E/M.</p>

<p>spartan phoenix, i know that's the process for transfer credit, but i heard you could only find out about whether it got approved after august 14. did you already hear?</p>

<p>Yah. He emails you back.</p>

<p>wow, crazy, i'll get moving on that. thanks!</p>

<p>somethingnew- did you email pdf scans, fax, or mail the table of contents / course descrption stuff?</p>

<p>well, i havent done anything yet because my multivariable class had no syllabus handed out when i took it...so i'm trying to contact the professor and get him to write out one for me, and then i was planning to mail them. would i get my reply quicker if i emailed or faxed the scans?</p>

<p>Well, I just got another email back from the adviser. </p>

<p>He said that the ARC will contact us over teh summer, and then you submit your course information.</p>

<p>So don't fret about it now, we'll get taken care of later.</p>

<p>Yeah, the system probably isn't set up yet for recording transfer credit if it's approved. And the last thing you want is to get your credit approved, then have no record of it being approved and having to deal with that mess at orientation.</p>

<p>Quick question: It seems like ALL incoming MIT freshman has to take the math diagnostic exam during orientation
(see part 4 in <a href="http://web.mit.edu/orientation/start/reg.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.mit.edu/orientation/start/reg.html&lt;/a&gt;)
Will this exam have a bearing on whether or not you get your 18.01 credit if you have a 5 on the AP Calc BC exam?
THanks!</p>

<p>No, the diagnostic is for physics placement (whether you should take 8.01 or 8.01L, the longer version which introduces the calculus more slowly), not for math placement.</p>

<p>And really, it's only for physics placement in name only -- if you don't do well, you don't have to take 8.01L. It's just a suggestion.</p>

<p>8.012 has a whole other math diagnostic test of its own.</p>

<p>Someone told me that 18.03 is required for pre-med students; please confirm this statement? I believe you only need two semesters of math (18.01 + 18.02) for medical school application?</p>

<p>You need two semesters of math at a college level -- if you get credit for 18.01 via a 5 on AP Calc, you will have to take another semester of college math, which is generally 18.03. If you start in 18.01 at MIT, you will generally only have to take 18.01 and 18.02.</p>

<p>Thanks, Mollie, you are always the BEST!!! I'm asking this for my friend: can you apply MBA right after you graduate from MIT (or do you need to work for at least three years)? If so, do you need to take 18.03 for MBA application?</p>

<p>You'd be better off asking sakky that. :) As I understand it, it's possible to apply to an MBA program right out of undergrad, but it's much more difficult to get in than it is after you've worked for a few years.</p>

MIT Sloan does not have any cutoffs in terms of number of years experience, GMAT scores, or GPA. We look at each candidate as an individual and make admission decisions on a case-by-case basis... we encourage applications from college seniors and early professionals.

18.03 isn't required for an [url=<a href="http://web.mit.edu/catalogue/degre.manag.ch15.shtml%5Dundergrad"&gt;http://web.mit.edu/catalogue/degre.manag.ch15.shtml]undergrad&lt;/a> degree in management<a href="although%2018.06%20and%206.041%20are">/url</a>. One important thing to realize is that relatively few people who major in management at MIT go on to the Sloan MBA program -- most Sloan classes are joint undergrad/grad student classes, so Sloan undergrads going into the MBA program would have to repeat a lot of coursework. And that would be boring.</p>
