<p>When I transfer over to a university, does my CC GPA transfer over as well or do I start off fresh?</p>
<p>This was asked previously, a poster noted that u do start off fresh but Grad schools look at both.</p>
<p>KInda weird</p>
<p>That KInda sucks since upper division classes are so hard and will drop GPA</p>
<p>not always, often the lower division courses like bio/chem/physics/ochem are much more difficult than upper division courses as they're weeders, ones that try to weed out the less competative students, and saturated by gunner premedical students.</p>
<p>I agree...weed out courses are tough.</p>
<p>Most of my freshman friends were getting Cs for bio. I manage to pull a B-.</p>
<p>I guess I shouldn't complain. What sucks is there are a lot of postbaccs. They have an unfair advantage.</p>
<p>ARGHHH</p>
<p>interesting point about weed out courses. I sure hope thats the case.</p>
<p>Also note that you take fewer required classes later on, so you will probably get better grades as for the most part you will be interested in all of the classes you are taking.</p>
<p>Is this true for every college?</p>
<p>lower division courses are tough..since you are taking so many diversifying subjects. Imagine taking physics, chem and calc at the same time. upper division you take courses which pertain to your major and you get lots of time to devote to them. In my calc class like two or three people got As, the rest Bs (few), Cs, Ds and Fs. Scary.</p>
<p>"Imagine taking physics, chem and calc at the same time"</p>
<p>Im Planning to take Chem 1 Physics 1(mechanics/heat) and trig at the same time :(. Are those courses that time consuming? I want to know because im thinking of taking another non math and exercise class with them too for a total of 15 hours, maybe 18 hours if I decide to add another non math course.</p>
<p>Is 18 hours too much even for a student that doesn't work?</p>
<p>I like to take one math and one science per semester...if you can handle it go ahead. Physics especially can get hard.</p>
<p>Interesting. I took Chem 101, Bio 102, Math, and seminar last semester. Chem was pretty hard, but I managed to pull a B+. This semester I'm taking Chem 102, Bio 101, History 101, and Math 112. So far so good, all A's and A-'s. :)</p>
<p>Well im really aiming towards an A average. Maybe 15 hours is more reasonable. 18 hours with straight A's would be sweet.</p>
<p>Do you work El_sol? Do you find yourself studying alot with those classes?</p>
<p>I do not work. I am blessed to have won some scholarships and to have parents that are able to cover my other college expenses. Yes I do find myself studying a lot for Bio and Chem, especially Chem. This is my freshman year, and last semester I was able to pull off a 3.598. If all goes well I'll pull a 4.0 this semester and get my cumulative gpa up to a 3.8 (knock on wood). But yeah, those classes require you to invest a lot of time into them. </p>

<p><strong>GOOD NEWS</strong></p>
<p>People who absolutely ABHOR science courses/math courses like chem, physics, bio, (bio i don't have a prob. w/), have an option.</p>
<p>LAW SCHOOL BABY.</p>
<p>LAW SCHOOL = NO CHEM, NO SCIENCE, NO MATH. Halleluyah</p>
<p>LOL! Yeah that's true. I'm a med school hopeful and law school is my backup plan.</p>
<p>If u're a bio or chem major it's imposible to do graduate in 4 years if u take only one science class a semester. Need to take at least 2. I made a mistake of taking only one last semester, now i am taking 2 and a math class on top of that. No ge's for me this semester.</p>
<p>im an engineering major which means i have to take three physics, six math and two chem classes on top of three computer classes (programming) and two writing classes. One thing that helped me was taking the Calc AP test in HS. Because of that I took physics, and calc II during my first semester...for most people in my community college it takes them a whole year to just to get to calculus. And to think I didn't want to take the AP test in HS, it saved me big time. </p>
<p>Personally two science classes for me would be a huge burden in just one semester...but yea if you are taking a really simple math course (maybe like calc I) then go ahead and take two science courses...it's based on preference really.</p>
<p>Physics and math seem alright. I like math and science and all which is why im a physics major but chemistry seems a little scary.</p>
<p>Yeah chem is kinda scary, however, don't get discouraged. Keep up with the class and don't slack on the study time. Biggest two things I learned first semester were: 1) TIME MANAGEMENT 2) Learning on my own (reading the book and teaching myself). Be a self-regulated learner and you will succeed no matter what your major is.</p>
