<p>I just discovered that I won't be able to transfer until three years from now (Spring 2011. By that time, I will be 21. I was pretty...shocked to say the least. But, I discovered, if I work through all four semesters of 2009, I'll be able to transfer in 2010. </p>
<p>I really don't know what to do. Does anybody have experience in this? I know that Winter and Summer semesters goes by quickly. So, it can kill me, but at the same time, it'll be done quickly as well. </p>
<p>Yes!! Bad placement! And I JUST discovered today that they recommended me into one wrong class, which is one of the reasons why my whole schedule is screwed up.</p>
<p>Thats what my cousin did you get his but out of CC in one year! You can do it if these courses are easy enough for you. Just keep taking a full load all year round, but be wary of taking hard classes in the winter and summer.</p>
<p>I am really, really happy that I did a third year at my community college. The reality is that community college transfers tend to lose credits in the process, so if you have slightly more than you need to get your Associate's, it's a lot more helpful because they have more to pick from, and therefore you're more likely to get in at junior standing. I was also able to take more upper-levels that way and finished all of my GERs for my new institution. AND, I got better recommendations and therefore into better schools and received bigger scholarships, because my professors knew me a lot better than they would have otherwise.</p>
<p>I am in community college too... How I did my schedule kills me because I always have classes with labs (Chem and Bio). I am graduating approximately two semesters early - from Summer '10 to Fall '09. Here's the credit class breakdown:</p>
<p>I started my classes in the spring term because it was the only way for me to get in-state tuition.</p>
<p>spring '08 = 13 I did very well in all my classes
summer '08 = 14 I took 2 science courses
fall '08 = 16 I'm taking 5 classes, 2 of which are honors courses, and another two are math classes.</p>
<p>spring '09 = 16 All will be honors classes...i'm trying to kill myself..really
summer '09 = 12 will take Calculus + org. chem.
fall '09 = 15 humanities and the like...+ org. chem</p>
<p>that's a total of 86 credits because I had to take foreign languages (9 credits) and a couple of pre-calculus classes because I did not retake my placement test. </p>
<p>One of my professors told me to balance out the classes in such a way that you would have 'strengths' and 'weaknesses' in every term (math and science for me). Every term, I have a science class that can always come out as an A so my GPA stays high... But be sure that you can handle your schedule... don't just hope for a C like most of my classmates do...</p>
<p>Also, if you already have a school you'd want to transfer into, check out their pattern with the curriculum and then base yours from theirs!</p>
