4 Classes: Too few to transfer?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Looking to transfer from Duke to HYS for sophomore standing. The only grades i'll have are from 4 classes. Is that too few provided I get 4.0?</p>

<p>I dont think so. It depends on hour ur schools academic credit system works most students typically take from four to five courses a semester dont they?</p>

<p>For sophomore standing? That's not enough. I believe you need 30 units (semester) before you can be considered a sophomore. Maybe you could make it if you have a ton of AP credits from high school.</p>

<p>I know Harvard doesn't give AP credit for transfers (even freshman have to take adv. standing--all or nothing) and I don't think Yale does either, though I could be wrong . . .</p>

<p>is there such thing as too much credits to transfer?</p>

6

<p>If you're looking to transfer for sophomore standing, then you'd submit your application after your entire freshman year is over. You'd get a decision over the summer around July.</p>

<p>There no such thing as too many credits to transfer, but many colleges have a residency requirement where you have to be at their campus for a minimum number of terms or credit hours to get their degree.</p>

<p>As far as I know, Harvard, Yale, Brown, and a few other schools have a policy that if a transfer applicant has more than 2 years(over 60 credits), then they are not eligitable to transfer. So if you want to apply to those schools, make sure that you have under 60 credits. </p>

<p>Check the school's admissions site to comfirm. Good luck!</p>

<p>if i am an out of state cc student who has almost 60 credits and then transfer into another cc. Would the credits i would earn in the new cc i go to, affect the university i'm applying for?</p>

<p>I do not think that is the case. So long as the transfer applicant is neither a second-semester junior nor senior upon matriculation, he/she should be fine.</p>

<p>I guess what I said wasnt clear enough, sorry. I want to transfer to a new school for Fall 06. By that time, I will have finished an entire freshman year. However, I need to send in my application by March 15. By March, I'll only have grades for 4 classes from my first semester.</p>
