fall courses + major + transfer

Transfer Students
1

<p>heyy everybody,</p>

<p>so right now im a philosophy major, and i'll soon be declaring english as my second major. I know that schools look heavily upon your fall courses when they make their decisions, but what does the relationship between these courses and your major (at the new school) have to be like?</p>

<p>right now i'm taking 2 upper-level philosophy courses, 1 senior poli sci seminar (i'm a sophomore), and microeconomics. </p>

<p>moreso than a passion for philosophy, i chose the philosophy major because of a passion for writing and deciphering difficult texts (don't kill me nspeds!) I'd like to eventually make a career out of writing in some way. i definitely love the material we discuss in philosophy, but i think that might come second to the writing aspect.</p>

<p>would it be possible to get accepted somewhere as an english major, even though my fall courseload is very...philosophical?</p>

<p>how do you not know how to spell "decipher"....
and you say you want to major in philosophy and english?</p>

<p>what has the world come to...</p>

<p>ANYWAYS, if you want to transfer, you should take a variety of challenging classes such as 1 philo class, calc 2, 3, or 4, orgo-chem or biochem, an econ course, throw in a history class, and you should be okay.</p>

<p>fixed the typo ... oops.</p>

<p>thank you forgiven</p>

<p>p.s. i've taken calc 1 and astronomy (basic science credit), but why would a potential philosophy/english major have to take something like higher calc or biochem?</p>

4

<p>Yes, why in the world would a potential philosophy or English major take organic or bio chemistry?!? Or calc 2, much less calc 3 or 4? I'm thinking forgiven must be joking.</p>

<p>lololol. </p>

<p>sarcasm is so lost on the internet.</p>

6

<p>haha it is. there really should be some other function besides bold, itallic, and underline.</p>

<p>Allie, someone on this forum told me you weren't too pretty. Is that true?</p>

8

<p>it is. i am hideous. i walk around in a mask all day so as not to offend people with the ugly.</p>

9

<p>No, I want your sincere opinion about yourself. Do you feel you're pretty?</p>

10

<p>what the hell kind of a question is that kevin lol 'hey are you hot, oh really, your ugly? oh that sucks"</p>

<p>whats the point of asking.</p>

<p>He is planning on eventually obtaining a picture of her.</p>

<p>By the way <strong>allie</strong>, post a pic!</p>

12

<p>my picture is publicly available and has been for a long time. </p>

<p>and im going to refrain from commenting further because this is silly and this thread has been thoroughly highjacked.</p>

13

<p>lol wonder who hijacked it</p>

14

<p>psh my comment was totally relevant to the poster's above mine. </p>

<p>K-nowimdone.</p>

15

<p>Did you complete the preq for the english major at your univ of choice? if so then the classes you took beyond that would be your choice.</p>

<p>thanks for the help everybody.</p>

<p>i should also note that i'm the president of the philosophy club here. i feel that this would definitely help if i was to apply as a philosophy major, but would this carry the same weight if i was applying as an english major? in other words, are these philosophy-related positions and upper level courses seen as good in their own right, and so would appear equally good regardless of what my major would be?</p>

<p>then again, they'll see that i'm a philosophy AND an english major at the time of my application, so i guess that'll clear things up.</p>

<p>okay, i think i just answered my own question...</p>
