<p>I'm an international student planning to transfer at a sophomore to a U.S. school next year.
My school has a credit system, only it's on a trimester calendar. </p>
<p>I will have completed a total of 29 SEMESTER units/credits (it's that system with the trimester calendar but same credit-value as a semester school) by the beginning of March (and 46 by the end of the year, plus placement with IB/AP).</p>
<p>The trouble is, most of my applications are due before then. So, on my initial application, the total number of units completed will read "12 units" which I know isn't very impressive (normal load at my school is 13, but I took an intensive language course). </p>
<p>Will this hurt my chances of getting in!? Or do I just email the college and ask them to update my profile, and send in my Winter grade report, and will it be okay?</p>
<p>Thank you. I'm so worried.</p>
