I’m looking to try to transfer this spring or next, and wondering if the rigor of college courses is assessed as it is for freshmen admission. Should I try to more general classes that can be found at most universities such as general biology or more specific classes that may not be found everywhere? Also, should I aim for 3 credit hour courses, or more?
Your username is…unsettling.
Rigor is only a factor when talking about majors that involve rigorous courses.
If you’re a Chemistry major with only English courses under your belt, you might have a 4.0, sure, but don’t expect to transfer into any Chemistry majors at another institution.
You should generally avoid courses unique to your school to avoid time waste. Though, I wouldn’t strategize / limit yourself to only high yield credit classes, just make sure you take 14-15 credits each semester to meet sophomore (30 credits) or junior (50-60 credits) standing.
Simply complete your course requirements. The only reason you should deviate from your course requirements is if you perhaps, attempt to pursue a minor, or something like that.
LOL @Hamlon I’m with you there. Kodak Black is one of the worst rappers of all time and deserves his time in house arrest/prison for sexually and non-sexually assaulting people.
OP, it’s not about the individual course credits, it’s your full schedule that matters. For example, if you’re only taking the very minimum every semester that’s required to be considered “full-time”, and just getting Bs, that could reflect poorly. For a lot of schools, the minimum to be full time is something like 12 credits. It doesn’t matter if you take 2 5 unit courses, and 1 2 unit course, it’s still not very many course hours overall. If you take above the minimum, something like 14 or 15, it doesn’t matter if that’s 5 3-unit courses, or 3 4-unit courses and 1 2/3-unit course.
