How much of a role do the transfer course "requirements" play?

<p>Thanks for replying brishe! A huge problem is I got a lot of 4s on my AP exams. 4s are often more than enough to fulfill requirements at VT, but UVA just throws the credits back at my face, requiring mostly 5s. For example, I don’t have to take English at VT, but UVA would need 6 credits of it. I also passed out of Math, Area 2 - Ideas, Cultural Traditions and Values, Area 3 - Society and Human Behavior, and Area 7 - Critical Issues in a Global Context at VT, but as I mentioned earlier, I am lacking most of those requirements besides the Natural Sciences and Math at UVA. Unaware these requirements even existed, I just took classes to fulfill my Biochemistry/Computer Science major/minor at VT leaving me somewhat behind according to the list. :(</p>
