<p>I have a question regarding so many of the universities eligibility requirement for a applicant to have no more than two years college experience or 60 units prior to transfer. I am considering transferring a half year later than I initally wanted to, but if I continue to take classes at my JC during this time I will go past my 60 units/two years. Does anyone know how strict colleges are about this, especially when they say that a student cannot choose to relinquish any of their credits. Is there any way for me to still take classes without them adding to my existing credits?</p>
<p>McComb's texas has a stupid rule that it will not consider anyone above 90 credit hours .... and instructs that candidate to complete bachelors at his/her institution and then apply for Masters at McComb's...</p>
<p>Lol! this rule is so inept...how can u ask a community college student who has more than 90 hours to complete bachelors... when bachelors is not even offered at his/her college</p>
<hr>
<p>some schools are strict ...for example UPENN Wharton
some are not ... for example NYU Stern</p>
<p>u have to ask the school ur planning to apply to...</p>
<p>Schools are extremely strict about this; schools like harvard, yale, brown, smith, wellesley, etc will not even look at your application if they notice that you are above 2 years of college work. The basis of this ideology is that they would like you to stay for 2 years at their school. If you have over 2 years of college work, you will finish faster than most. In addition, I would like to make it known that this 2 year policy ** does ** apply also to community college students applying to private schools.</p>
<p>You should check with the specific schools in question.</p>
<p>It was always my impression that, despite the # of previous credits EARNED, the school would only allow 60 credits (2 year equivalent) to TRANSFER.</p>
<p>yes, it would seem logical that colleges have a max of 60 TRANSFERABLE credits, and not 60 max credits for credit from another college.</p>
<p>the point of the rule is for colleges to have you as a paying student for at least two years, otherwise, it would be unfair to get a degree from college A when 75% of the work was from college B.</p>
<p>i will probably end up w/ around 64-65 credits when i transfer for junior year, but i doubt more than 50 of them will transfer.</p>
<p>Each school sets their own rules; however, what i mentioned is the general rule. Schools like Cornell, Upenn, USC, UVA, etc accept students no matter how many units overboard they went/have.</p>
