<p>Wow, that's a lot of community college courses, just make sure that they're all <em>transferable</em> to Hopkins (or any other schools you're applying to)</p>

3

<p>where can i find out what classes are transferable. Thanks!</p>

4

<p>It's typically done on a course-by-course basis. I doubt they will let you transfer in 80 credits, or even half of that. The only department I have knowledge on is the math department, and they will look at your coursework, textbook, homeworks, and tests. If they feel it is up to Hopkins' standards, they'll grant you credit.</p>

<p>can someone please chance me?</p>

6

<p>See this info on transfer credits: Credit</a> for Work Done Elsewhere</p>

<p>In general, you can only transfer 12 credits, and only if they match exactly to a course at Hopkins and the caliber of the course is considered equivalent. If you have more than 12 credits and those credits are in areas that Hopkins gives AP credit, then you can ask to get courses waived, but you can't get more than 12 actual credits.</p>

<p>chances please?</p>
