<p>I am currently at the University of Iowa as a freshman, but next year I hope to transfer to the only school I have ever wanted to go to. My schedule is fine and an advisor at Notre Dame told me that all my credits are transferable, but she also told me that I need at least a B in every class to transfer. This concerns me since I am taking a Calculus class that I struggle in. If I do not manage a B in that class, then the credits for that class will not transfer and I will not meet the class requirements for transfer students. In every other class I am doing just fine; I can get A's easily in them. I think I can manage a GPA over 3.7 even with a mediocore grade in Calculus. I want to know if I could still get into Notre Dame as a sophomore transfer even if I lack the required transfer credits. I have heard that some Notre Dame transfers do not meet the requirements and still get in but have to make up those credits in the summer or some other time. Does anybody have any feedback about not meeting the first year requirements to transfer to Notre Dame?</p>
<p>Hey!
Notre Dame is really intense about meeting their first year requirements, but usually if you’re missing one upon applying to transfer, they’re willing to let it slide. I’m not sure what college you’re planning to transfer to, but I’m almost positive you can work something out. I was always under the impression that you needed a C in classes in order to get them to transfer over, but if you take a summer class, then you need a B to get credit (which I thought was a strange system when I transferred last year.)
I’m not an advisor, or anything, but if you think you can’t pull out a B (and you absolutely need just that, which I think is worth double-checking), then it might be best to withdraw if it’s not too late, and try again with hopefully a better start. Then if possible take a summer math class, which is much less stressful since it’s the only class you have. I withdrew from Calc my first semester of freshmen year, took finite in spring, then took Calc again over summer, and managed to get in, so I’m positive that you can!</p>
<p>I’m sorry if that was confusing…feel free to ask me any questions though about the transfer to ND!</p>
