<p>Are there any prerequisites to transfer to UT's College of Natural Science? According to my research, I have found none. I'm trying to transfer with a 3.69 GPA and 49 credits and I'm wondering if anyone out there has any Info for me thanks!
Feel free to chance me as well!</p>

<p>I just found out this morning I was rejected from Texas A&M.
I hardly did any research when applying to A&M didn't know there were prerequisites for physics and engineering.</p>

<p>yeah, i’ve read this… it says "… are expected to be prepared to enroll in mathematics courses beyond M408C, Calculus I. " Im taking trig now and will be prepared to take calculus. but from the above i don’t get any indication of courses I MUST take to be accepted. I took PHYS 1404 and I’m now taking 1401.</p>

<p>So is that it. Please tell me if I didn’t analyze that correctly. If thats all, I take it there are no Prerequisites. </p>

<p>Anyone else have any info</p>

<p>No prereqs for CNS besides the Calculus. Looks like you’re in.</p>

<p>you mean I will have to take calculus at UT, not at my cc right?</p>

<p>Im lost for some reason. So is calculus a prerequisite, or are they simply saying that I’m going to take it at UT. I’m thinking the latter… I haven’t taken calculus yet.</p>

For me it sounds like you have to take M408C, Calculus I before you transfer and be ready to take Math courses beyond M408C, Calculus I at UT.
Differential and Integral Calculus M408C is AP Exam in Calculus AB with score 3-4 (5 is Differential Calculus M408K), it means that many students take it in high school, some of them even take Calculus BC after Calculus AB. And these students are freshmen. You are a transfer student, you are supposed to have some minimum amount of college classes, and Calculus is a minimum level Math class for engineering and certain science majors.</p>

<p>Why don’t you contact UT and ask them since there is so much confusion.</p>

<p>yup, I contacted them this morning. Turns out there is NO prerequisite other than taking SOME math classes to be prepared to enroll in calculus.</p>

<p>Concerning prerequisite, he simply stated:
“One needs to have taken some math”</p>

<p>You don’t need calculus to transfer to CNS, simply be prepared for it when admitted.
I’m good now, commence breathing!</p>

<p>Thanks for the input everyone!</p>

<p>It sounds really strange because entering freshmen have Calculus pre-requisite and have to take ALEKS placement test.</p>

<p>Well freshman and transfers have very different standards as I’m sure you know. Even for freshman it does not sound like a requirement if they can still be admitted: “Students accepted into the College of Natural Sciences who have not met the calculus pre-requisite…”. It looks to me they will give you a chance to take it in UT. There’s now definitive requirement for admission. I think its just UT trying to instill in us the impact calculus will have in our major, and students with calculus under their belt will receive top priority.</p>
