How to increase Competitiveness when transfering into TAMU engineering...

<p>Hello,
I am currently in my sophomore year at a California CC and want to transfer to TAMU engineering (petroleum) in 2014. I will have my physics and general chem done but I may not be able to complete differentials because of the limited amount of CCs that offer Calc 3 over the winter. How badly will this affect my transferability? I am very reluctant in considering an extra semester just to transfer into spring 2015 because I need to be out of my house asap. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Extra Info: I already have 62 units from my first year and a 4.0 gpa. I took one 22 unit semester (all math+science: linear algebra, calc, physics, statistics, +chemistry) and came out with all As. If I keep this up will I have a good shot at getting in? I have pretty good ECs: many years of experience with auto mechanics!!, volunteering at a drug rehabilitation center for teens (counseling and such), and in a club at my school that assists undocumented students getting financial and curricular help. I dont know what else I could do thats relevant to petroleum engineering.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>“Applicants are often admitted without [Calc 3], but it is recommended”</p>

<p>“Hillo,” where did you read that?</p>

<p>According to [Dwight</a> Look College of Engineering](<a href=“http://admissions.tamu.edu/transfer/WhyAggieland/UniquePrograms/Colleges/engineering.aspx]Dwight”>http://admissions.tamu.edu/transfer/WhyAggieland/UniquePrograms/Colleges/engineering.aspx), I went to page 56 of <a href=“http://catalog.tamu.edu/pdfs/11-12_UG_Catalog.pdf[/url]”>http://catalog.tamu.edu/pdfs/11-12_UG_Catalog.pdf&lt;/a&gt; and read the first footnote.</p>
