Credits

Transfer Students

<p>How many are too many credits to transfer, does it matter how many will be actually transferred or is it how many you have overall (including those that won't be accepted as transfer)??</p>

<p>My kid will most likely have very few transfered into the BA program, but she has many already (credits in quarters not semesters). Will D be able to transfer?</p>

<p>a D normally isn’t going to transfer. It is up to them as to how many credits they will accept. Usually colleges don’t take more than 60 credits.</p>

<p>Im not saying they will. </p>

<p>D goes to a vocational college abroad, most of her credits are toward the major (no gen ed), it’s a completely different approach and system than the US. I know colleges don’t transfer more than 60-75 credits, I’m asking if they will accept her inspite of D already having many credits under her belt. I’m thinking most likely, if she is able to transfer credits at all, it wouldn’t be more than 30 or so.</p>

<p>Do colleges take into count how many she has earned or how many will actually be transfered?</p>

<p>Depends on the policy of the college. At my school, anyone who wants to transfer from abroad has to apply as a first year.</p>

<p>bottlecap, OP meant D=daughter not D=bad grade :D</p>

<p>sweetchild: i think it should be fine. If your daughter has a lot of credits with good grades that will be in her favor since they show she is successful in her classes. At most schools, the fact that many credits will not transfer does not impact admissions. This is all assuming that this vocational school abroad isn’t like some foreign version of DeVry or ITT Tech. It really all depends on the quality of the school she was at I suppose.</p>

<p>I have heard many stories of people who were set back a year or more because many of their credits didn’t transfer to the school they were accepted to as a transfer. Some schools don’t even do a credit evaluation until after you accept admission.</p>
