<p>I have a 3.9 GPA at UIC electrical engineering. I have been accepted into UIUC for fall 2014 for electrical engineering. However, it does not appear that my 300-level engineering courses transfer over so I might have to retake courses like EM I and II ECE 329 & 350, statistics for engineering ECE 313, semiconductor fundementals ECE 340 and Electronics I ECE 342 over again although I received an A in each of the equilivant course at UIC.
I expected to have to take 60 hours at UIUC, but was hoping it could be new classes. Are UIUC classes really more indepth? Is the reputation of UIUC really worth retaking these course or is a high GPA from UIC just as good to employers? ( I currently, have a position in one of the labs and will be doing paid research this summer.) </p>
<p>What are some other benefits of transferring?</p>
<p>Would be especially interested in hearing from someone who has attended both schools!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
