<p>I'm currently in my 3rd semester of community college. I decided to go back to school on a whim after I took a year off following HS graduation. Basically, I got absurdly bored working 40hrs a week at a job I hated. I had never planned on going to school beyond high school, so I'm new to this entire process. I wanted to ask about credits. Due to personal issues, its not going to be possible for me to transfer until spring 2008. If I keep taking alot of credits a semester, I will have far exceeded the 62 required for an AA in Liberal Arts. I'm a big dork tho and don't mind taking extra classes that interest me....is that going to be a problem? I mean if I apply with almost 90 credits, how's that going to go over? I know I could take a semester off or something, but I would really rather be shot than have to work my 40hr a week job with no sort of intellectual challenge at all.</p>
<p>Also, can transfers give up credits? One of the schools I'm most interested in (College of the Atlantic) has an amazing program, and I would like to spend as much time getting an education there as possible.</p>
