<p>Did anyone else take ALL their classes in College for the last two years? If anyone did, I was hoping you'd be able to share information with me, about transfers of credits, as well as where your applying and if you get in or not. Georgetown is my first choice, and since I attend a community college right now, everyone is very excited and they think I'm getting in, obviously they don't realized how hard it is to acutally get in. Anyways, I was hoping, I could find someone to talk about the weird situation this puts you in.</p>
<p>What I know so far is, that Georgetown will not make me retake Marco-Econ as long as i get a B or better in the class (I'm taking the class right now. I'm not sure if I will get a B in it, since the final is worth 50% of my grade), since i have alraedy taken it, but I will still be required economics for SFS. I just won't have to retake econ, not that I would mind of course, I love Economics.</p>
<p>I dont have any answers, but I am also in the same boat. kind of. I have over 100 credit hours, a few from high school dual credit, and the rest from 1.5 years in a 4-year college, and a year at the Defense Language Institute.</p>
<p>The way I am feeling it, Georgetown will decide what counts and what doesn't, and they are pretty strict. Not only do you have to have a b in the class, but the class has to be similar to a class required at Georgetown. I would not be suprised if a lot of my credits would not transfer. But, that is okay for me because I can only transfer 60 anyways. </p>
<p>I honestly don't know much more than you, I guess. I am going to wait for an acceptance before I begin to lose too much sleep over this stuff. Don't tell them, but I would be happy with whatever they gave me.</p>
<p>If Georgetown gives credit for the Ap macro econ test, you could always just take the AP Macro Econ test. You don't have to be in the class to take the test.</p>
<p>Obviously, but it's hard to take an AP when you take an acutal college class. I learned REAL stuff in my economics class, useful stuff, and so it's hard to take an AP after a college class. Plus, I am a terrible test taker anyways</p>
<p>Are you applying as an EA? If you have been in college for 2 years and already have an AD, shouldn't you be applying as a transfer?</p>
<p>Associate degrees are cool, but as far as transfering credits, it makes no difference. I don't think they will penalize you for it, as in saying "you used this credit for you're AD so you cant use it for your BA." Is that what you are scared of?</p>
<p>Sara is correct: you should be applying as a transfer if you wish to transfer more than a certain amount of credits (I believe it's 20 semester units) from an accredited college or university.</p>
<p>It's tough to get credit transferred to the SFS, especially as a rising freshman. They're tough on APs as it is.</p>
<p>Thank you Tlaktan. Acutally, I spoke with people at Georgetown numerous times and they told me to apply as a freshman and they will take it from there. It doesn't really matte though, because I'll have one soild degree already. And so I'll just get another one. Cool.</p>
<p>Improvements,
What is the difference between an Associate of Arts degree and an "AD"? Are they the same thing. I am not very familiar with these. Are they only offered at a CC? How many credits do you need to achieve one? 60? Is it like half a real degree? Wow, that is a lot of Qs. I could help you out if I understood more about you situation. </p>
<p>I'll be transfering credits, too. I feel very removed from this whole process as I am 23 now and have not been in a university in 4 years. I have another question for you or anyone realy. How do you take an AP test? AP was not even mentioned in my highschool years ago.</p>
<p>It's an AD, you need 62 for each. There are AA of arts, and AA of sciences. Mine are in Sciences. Criminal Justice (social science) and Computer Forensics. They are not a half of a degree. An Assoicates Degree is an acutal degree.</p>
<p>Good for you. My dad got a criminal justice degree from a 4 year institution and became a detective. That is probably not where you are going with this, but you never know. For the first 3 years of college my dad thought he wanted to be a veterenarian.</p>
<p>From what I hear SFS is very rigourous and structured, meaning it is four years packed with specific core requirements. (It must be an awesome program.) That being said, I doubt you will get much to transfer, besides Macro and Micro Econ. Have you taken a critical writing? a histroy? a foreign language? I think these would be your best bet. But even if you have taken these, Georgetown decides if it matches their specific curriculum. Remember, it is their best interest to transfer as little as possible. I would take AP tests if you can (and ace them), because those are pretty objective, no?</p>
<p>Yes, but a college class has more clout then an AP exam. Yes, the economics will transfer, and same with the u.s government classes, i'm taking. I have taken 3 englishs, and a history. But, it's up to Georgetown to decide what they take. I'll just take what they give me. I mean it's not like I have nothing to so show, because i have 2 degrees!</p>
<p>Yeah, i love Criminal Justice. I'm too short to be in the police though!</p>
