<p>Thanks, I just hope I get it :)</p>
<p>LOL. Dont bother going to ASU unless you’re doing Barrett; they seem to have a better time in the job department if you know what I mean</p>
<p>You need a pulse and money</p>
<p>Hey Guys,
Im an economics major at Cal Poly Pomona right now, and I am looking to switch majors to Mechanical Engineering, but Cal Poly is making it very hard for me to do so. I just started school (freshman), and have no College grades whatsoever, but am still considered a transfer student. Since that was the case with Cal Poly, I began looking at other options for schools, and ASU came up, and I hear they have a killer engineering program. So im planning to transfer there in January. I don’t want to waste my time here for very long.
These are the transfer reqs for the Ira A. Fulton SoE at ASU:
–Minimum transfer GPA of 3.00 for less than 24 transfer hours, and
–No high school math or science competency deficiencies, and
–Minimum 1140 SAT combined math and verbal or minimum 24 ACT combined score, or 3.00 minimum ABOR GPA, or class ranking in top 25 percent of high school class.
I have failed 3 semesters of math, 2 semesters of WHAP, and a semester of Spanish in HS. Out of those classes I retook all 3 semesters of math, and a semester of WHAP at a CC and received A’s in all those courses. And ASU said that they would honor these courses, but I still have D’s in a semester of WHAP and Spanish 2. Since I dont have a college transcript just yet, my admission will be based off of my HS grades. Considering all that, I have a 2.84 GPA when I calculated it the way ASU calculates GPA. Would that be sufficient to get into the engineering school? I also have a SAT score of 1220 which is above the minimum SAT score. Can you guys please tell me what you think? Sorry about the really long message.
Thanks Everyone!</p>
<p>Have you been to ASU? How would you know that it’s not a good school? You’d truly know if it’s a good school or not if you actually attended the school.</p>
Who cares if you live in Scottsdale? You could have said “I’m an AZ resident”. Also, the generalization that all AZ universities are “easy” is ridiculous.
It amazes me that after 10+ years of Michael Crow’s tenure as president, still people don’t understand ASUs mission and how to succeed in these strong programs. To get into Fulton Engineering, for example, is not the accomplishment of a lifetime–nor is it intended to be. Excelling in this rigorous engineering program, creating yourself through hard work and tenacity, is THE challenge. What will you do with the vast opportunities presented to you? Great research opportunities, great network of employers and entrepreneurial engagement as ASU. I know phenomenal graduates of Fulton, all have pulses, and had starting salaries of $60k as graduates. The work or study in graduate school beside graduates of every other Pac-12 or other top ABET engineering schools. Wait till that awesome living learning community is completed for the Fall of 2017. Very cool.
