<p>Okay so I got into MIT (woohoo) but I'm here to ask what you may know of credit transfer. I e-mailed admissions and apparently they will evaluate my credits once I go to MIT. This worries me because I don't want to be put so far behind. Anyone know more or less how behind they put you?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Congrats!!!</p>

<p>Conservatively, you would probably lose one or two semesters of work. It really depends on the classes you took and their syllabi.</p>
<p>MIT undergrad chemistry seems to have a different structure than that of most other schools. Additionally, their physics/single/multi-var calc classes seem to cover what would normally be two semesters of content in one.</p>
<p>Yeah I’ve read that. What I don’t like is the uncertainty. I’m prepared to retake several courses I just don’t want to redo an entire year. Chemistry would not be an issue. I took it as AP and got a 4 in high school and retook in college got an 800 on the SAT subject test. I wouldn’t mind redoing organic chem. I just don’t want to do dumb classes like literature and such.</p>
<p>Wait what?? I applied as a transfer but haven’t heard anything yet…</p>
