Community college credits

<p>Does anyone know how Cornell views community college credits? I am a high school senior and I have taken quite a few community college courses throughout my 4 years in high school. Does anyone know if these courses transfer well into Cornell, especially for science and math classes, such as biology, inorganic chemistry, physics and calculus?</p>

<p>Can any Cornell transfers here answer my question? I really hope they take some of my courses, although I know they won't take the ones I've used to fulfill high school graduation requirements.</p>

<p>If you took the classes physically at your CC, then Cornell will likely take them. </p>

<p>If not, then no. </p>

<p>"How well" they transfer depends on your major, your school, etc.</p>

<p>According to a Cornell adcom I spoke to, the maximum is 60 semester credits. Of course, they look at each course individually to see if it meet the similar curriculum as Cornell's. Like gomestar said, it depends on your major/school.</p>

<p>Yeah I took my courses physically at my CC with other college students. </p>

<p>I am a bio major in CAS by the way. If any transfers at Cornell who were admitted to the bio major in CAS, can you offer me some helpful advice? Will my bio, chem, physics and calculus classes transfer?</p>

<p>The courses will most likely transfer because CALS is the most lenient of the colleges in regards to transfer credits. CALS also takes in many students from community colleges.</p>

<p>However, if you are planning on being pre-med, most students forgo their previous classes, especially AP or IB. I'm not sure on community college credits. Once you are at Cornell, your adviser will be there to help you decide which classes to take and which credits to transfer.</p>
