<p>Hi everyone!</p>
<p>I am almost done with my enlistment in the Air Force and have been studying at the local State University here near my base.. Will be transferring to the North East in about a year, so I've been preparing to become a transfer applicant next April.</p>
<p>Was wondering how effectively the classes I'm taking at my current University will weigh on my transferability.. I always joke about how I have an inflated education with my 24 credits, 4.0 GPA.. The classes I have range from Macroecon, Humanities, English, Pre Calc, Speech.. As I focus more on the technical courses in the Mathematics field, I'm questioning whether it is worth it.</p>
<p>When I transfer out, do Universities look at transcripts for hard courses vs quantity of courses? Thought this might be the place to convince me to push through with another year of really hard Math courses because, if anything, I might be reaching for the stars with my transfer applications if I don't take them.</p>
<p>What has been your experience with this?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! :)</p>
<p>When evaluating your academic record, colleges will consider: your gpa, difficulty of coursework, how many units you took each semester (ie. less than a full load, full load, overload) and the college you attend.</p>
<p>I’m not sure I understand your situation, are you trying to decide between easier or tougher math courses for this next year? If so, I’d say to take the most difficult full load that you can while still maintaining a high gpa.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply!</p>
<p>I hope they take my active duty military life into account when evaluating my course load. Last semester, for example, I did a 9 credit load while, again, working as a full time Air Force member.</p>
<p>As for the next year, you are probably right about the toughness of courses I should expect to take. Here I come, Thermodynamics! :(</p>
<p>Be sure to state explicitly the number of hours of active duty you do while attending college. If you need more room to elaborate, don’t hesitate to use the Additional Information section.</p>
<p>Keep an eye on your classes and if it looks like your load is too heavy, drop a class before the drop/add date at your college.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
