Official University of Chicago Transfer Fall 2009

Transfer Students

<p>so I spoke to the senior advisor in the college and it turns out that 34 courses reaming means that I am exactly a sophomore when I arrive at uchicago. Ok, the whole course/credit/quarter thing is confusing, but how he explained it to me is as follows:</p>

<p>An undergrad needs 42 ACADEMIC courses in order to graduate and students carry a course load of 3-4 courses per quarter. Therefore, one year is about 9-12 courses. So, the way you figure out how many academic years you have reaming is to look at how many courses you are receiving credits for and see what year that places you in.</p>

<p>9-12 (also 13-17 although this would make you further along than most sophomores) credits completed is a sophomore (2nd year)</p>

<p>18-24 (also 25-26 although this would make you further along than most juniors) credits completed is a junior (3rd year)</p>

<p>and so on.
I hope that helps.</p>

462

<p>And by credits, you mean, courses? So if I have 33 courses remaining that leaves me at 42 courses for grad-33 left=9=Sophomore Status, correct?</p>

463

<p>ughh i think u of c is gonna end up screwing me…</p>

464

<p>yes waller, my apologies, by “credits” I meant courses. Sorry about that</p>

<p>And yes, if UChicago is giving you 9 of the courses that you took at your previous institution as transferable courses, then that means you have completed a full year (you’re first year) of study. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Oh dirty.chicago, don’t worry, things will work out. Honestly you should do what I did. Give the senior adviser a call. I believe his name is Matthew something-or-another, his name and number are listed on the letter that talks about credit evals. He will be able to explain to you how your courses are transferring.</p>

<p>did anyone from the east coast get their credit evaluations? i still haven’t gotten mine!</p>

466

<p>Thanks, Rhode. </p>

<p>I’m still bummed foreign language credits don’t transfer and I don’t really understand why but I guess it’s ok.</p>

467

<p>as i understand it, foreign language credits do transfer, but you must take a placement test in order to receive any credit for them.</p>

468

<p>waller, hehe 我会说一点汉语，你呢？</p>

<p>ya, while we do get credit from the placement exams, it’s still going to suck a little, at least for me. i took 3rd year level french classes and japanese 1 last year, but after spending a year in china studying abroad this year and having mainly just chinese classes, there’s no way i will be able to get that many credits for french and japanese.</p>

469

<p>are we eligible to take summer classes on campus?</p>

470

<p>Good luck to any waitlisted people, I just officially accepted my offer from Columbia…</p>

<p>Have fun in Chicago, guys!</p>

471

<p>Best of luck to you, salomeya. Unfortunately I didn’t make it to Columbia :frowning: but you’re going to love it!</p>

<p>Guys, I applied to Chicago as an undeclared major. But Chicago wrote in a major for me…what should I do about this?</p>

472

<p>Hey everyone: Did there turn out to be any correlation between receiving a faux 2013 acceptance letter and eventually being accepted? I got one, and I was accepted. What of the rest of you?</p>

473

<p>Yeah, I was accepted and got that letter too. I think everyone who got one was accepted, but some people who DIDN’T get one were accepted as well. I personally know someone that was.</p>

<p>Did anyone get a finaid package?</p>

474

<p>Hi all,
I haven’t posted before but I’ve been accepted as a transfer. I called the college aid office today, and apparently the financial aid info will be available early next week.</p>

475

<p>I did not get the letter and was accepted</p>

476

<p>are we eligible for aid for the summer term?</p>

477

<p>hey you guys on the waitlist will have some hope, i’m planning on accepting cornell… goodluck to those on the w/l</p>

478

<p>just got my credit evaluation form. Foreign language credits DO transfer but count as ‘electives’</p>

479

<p>I just accepted my offer of admissions and made my dorm selections for UChicago!! Good luck everyone! </p>

<p>(is anyone going to start a facebook group? or are we going to wait until after the June1st deadline?)</p>
