<p>Hey everyone, I will be applying as an incoming junior year transfer to a lot of really competitive undergrad business/private schools. The question I had is whether a certain number of units is too much. I will most likely have something around 72 when I am fully done with my second year at school and probably aroudn 58 when I apply. One thing that should be considered is that I have taken a lot of math, and am currently enrolled in a lot of math classes. </p>
<p>Calc 1 (5 units)
Calc 2 (5 Units)
Calc 3 (5 Units)
Differential Equations (4 Units)</p>
<p>Most colleges I am applying to require only up to Calc 2, but I saw it fit to take more math courses. If we were to take out the extra math, I'd be around 63 units.</p>
<p>Any opinions/suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>You need to contact each of the places on your list, and ask them whether or this number of credits will be a problem for them. Most likely it won’t.</p>
<p>happymomof1 is right. It is always better to check with the individual school; you might be able to find the information on their website if you search for “transfer.” </p>
<p>A lot of schools only require that you spend the equivalent of your senior year with them to get a degree – that is, 30 credits.</p>
<p>I know of some schools (a lot) that will take you…but they will just cut off your credits at a certain amount. So you will back track quite a bit.</p>
<p>Also, I was once applying to a school (I wont say which one), and I was worried about applying as a freshman with only one semester under my built because my HS grades were so bad. As I was expressing my worries to a woman in admissions she told me that they prefer a newer students rather than one who has already done a whole lot of their coursework at a different institution. I didnt ask her why she said that but I can imagine that its because a newer student is one they can mold the most. A graduate of a university that has completed all or most of their coursework at that particular univeristy is more a direct reflection of that university rather than someone who has only been there for a year or two. I actually got accepted into that school…after just one semester to show so, I cant help but think shes right.</p>
<p>That was probably just that particular university though because I go on NYU forums quite a bit and they seem to accept people that have had two years experience the most.</p>
<p>Like happymom said…every school is different. You’ll have to call that particular school.</p>
<p>Hey everyone, thanks for your responses</p>

<p>I will be applying as an incoming junior and most Juniors have completed more or less 64ish units. I know NYU’s cut-off is 64 (i will be applying to Stern). You guys are right, I should probably just call them. Hopefully it doesn’t really matter.</p>
<p>Most schools will accept you but you will only be able to transfer two years worth of credits (60 or so). UPenn is the only school I encountered that won’t accept you if you’ve completed a certain number of credits at another school. I imagine there are more though. I had ~85 credits when I applied for transfer, and I was accepted almost everywhere I applied (including Stern). So it probably won’t be a problem but you should call to make sure.</p>
