Courses Transferred

[ComaPrison]

<p>Don’t remember specifically. They were part of the I.G.E.T.C. sequence’s 1-year/2-semester requirement for English writing.</p>

<p>How long from the day you received your admissions phone call did it take to receive your tranfer evaluation? I also read this is sent via email?</p>

<br>

<blockquote>
<p>I didn’t receive a call, I just had the FedEx package in front of my front door. Transfer evaluation came with the package. I had to submit spring semester grades upon my schools official transcript release, this took them about 2-3 weeks to send me the evaluation by email-- I didn’t receive a hard copy this time.</p>
</blockquote>

<br>

<p>I wouldn’t worry, it seems like there are many applicants this year, so they might need a little longer. However, they seem generous with transfer credit evaluation from what I saw. They transferred all my introductory courses. So Random, you shouldn’t have to worry about your science not transferring.</p>

<p>As for the financial economics major, see here:

• [Columbia</a> University - Economics](<a href=“Home - Department of Economics at Columbia University”>Home - Department of Economics at Columbia University)
• [Columbia</a> University - Economics](<a href=“Home - Department of Economics at Columbia University”>Home - Department of Economics at Columbia University)</p>

<p>Looking at this, it seems like there are a few more “major” courses required, which will probably lead us to be at Columbia a little longer.</p>

<p>Though I know the second semester of english does not transfer, would my additional semesters of english be eligible for transfer under a literature course or something of the sort? Anyone have any input on this?</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I am in the same boat, I finished up my second semester at Community College with completing the second sequence of English. Interestingly, the first course transferred and the second didn’t. If it’s not a literature course specifically, it probably doesn’t transfer. I don’t have any facts, but from my gut feeling and my knowledge about Columbia, they are generous with the introductory courses (sci, phil, econ, etc) but when it comes to English, Lit Hum, Art Hum, Music Hum, and those big Columbia name classes they are strict about transfer credit. We are in the same boat, so let’s try to do some research and talk to Columbia together. I’ll shoot you my email address per PM.</p>

I’m currently taking trig over summer with an astronomy class (ugh) with the the goal in mind to take Calculus at Columbia in fall. So if anyone has successfully transferred pre-calc in the form of pre-calc or college algebra with trig., along with philly I’d be interested in hearing what happened.

</p>

<p>I am not sure about college algebra with trig(is it the same as precal?), but I did a 5 units precalculus in my community college, and it was transferred over.</p>

<p>phillyman123, Patrick312: I am in the same situation. My 2nd sequence of English did not transfer too. Do you guys have any leads if I could transfer that class? I know we have to do University Writing, I just wanted to fulfill 3 more points toward the total 124 points requirement.</p>

<p>I was surprised by how much the school actually transferred over ( 60 ). They will even count my 1 year econ ( micro , macro. I spoke to my adviser today ) but I am playing it safe and taking the introductory Econ course as a Pass/Fail ( the only econ course that will count toward the Econ major as a P/F)</p>

[phillyman123]

<p>I’ve gotten some stuff verified by my advisor:</p>

<p>Pre-calculus is the lowest they’ll go in terms of mathematics transferring. Anything like college algebra or what not will not transfer. I can’t however speak about combining several courses (and credits) that covered, in total, pre-calc and having it count for one course.</p>

<p>If you took two semesters of english, 1 writing course and 1 literature course at community college, and the literature course was entirely about reading stories, novels, poems, etc, and writing about them (not writing about yourself) there’s a very good chance you may be able to have that count as 1 of your 2 literature courses for the core. You need to have the course approved by the english department (send them the syllabus etc) and then bring it to your advisor.</p>

<p>For science, if your an econ or math major or something with a high degree of math, calculus courses can count towards your science requirement. I took a science course at community college, and will be taking calculus 1 and 3 at columbia. those three courses satisfied by science requirement of the core.</p>

<p>For any of you who took courses that are ambiguous name-wise in terms of them either being “pre-professional” or something else, if you disagree with their decision, appeal it. very easy all you need are syllabuses and some legit reasoning. </p>

<p>Anyone have any experience with the music exemption? I’m going through the process right now and am really hoping this works!</p>

[Patrick312]

<p>Who do I have to contact to speak about transferring my college algebra and trig course as precalc (2 classes instead of 1)</p>

[phillyman123]

<p>Not sure Patrick if you’re asking me – I read something on here stating someone else had attempted that (not sure who it was). I’d talk to your advisor and see what she says.</p>
