OSU transfer from OOS CC chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Ohio State University

<p>Hello, new here. Thought I would give this a shot.</p>

<p>I didn’t do so well in high school, mostly because of laziness, and partly because of some obstacles which I had to overcome. I enrolled into a Community College in Washington in hopes of getting a transfer degree and attending a University, but I’m unsure if the odds are in my favor.</p>

<p>I have just finished up my first year of college. Because I am paying for college, rent, phone, insurance, etc… by myself, I do not have very much money, so I was only able to take two courses per quarter.</p>

<p>Courses/grades:
Fall
-College Precalculus, C
-Computer Science (Java programming), B</p>

<p>Winter
-Calculus I, B
-Advanced Computer Science (more Java), C+</p>

<p>Spring
-Calculus II, B
-English 101, B- (always struggled with English)</p>

<p>Over the summer I will be taking Calculus III, and I have already signed up for my fall quarter of next year, which will be:
-General Engineering Physics 1 (out of 3)
-Calculus IV (highest I can go, then it’s off to Diff. EQ and Lin. Alg.)
-French 1 (because nothing else fit into my schedule, and I figured I could knock out an elective credit)</p>

<p>My GPA at the moment is a 2.6, which, from what I have gathered from other posts on this board, is higher than the “competitive” GPA.</p>

<p>By the end of fall quarter, I will have a total of 52 credits which will put me over the requirement.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about the transfer chances, but I would check and make sure that you need a foreign language credit. It looks like you are an engineering major. My daughter took the placement test at orientation and received 10 hours credit for a foreign language, but she doesn’t need it as part of her program.</p>

<p>I am indeed an Electrical and Computer Engineering major, and it looks like I don’t need a language credit specifically, so it would be applied towards my GEC courses.</p>

<p>Ok. Just wanted you to take only what you need. Maybe things have changed. My daughter had to choose 35 hours of GECs from these categories: </p>

<p>English & Communication Skills (10)
Historical Study (5-10)
Arts & Humanities (5-10)
Social Sciences (5-10)
Ethics (5)
Social Diversity (May overlap with another GEC category)</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>

<p>Bumping for chances</p>

<p>You might be able to get in but you generally need around a 3.0 to actually be accepted into a specific engineering program which you can apply for after you take the rest of the pre-reqs. If you are not strong in science it could be a challenge.</p>

<p>The requirement for the engineering school is a 2.8 GPA. As of now I think I have a 2.6, which I hope to raise by the end of fall quarter to a 3.0. If I don’t directly enroll into the engineering program, I will be automatically enrolled into the Science and Technology exploration program, as noted on their transfer requirements page.</p>

<p>In high school, chemistry, physics, and mathematics were the three subjects I actually enjoyed and did very well in.</p>

<p>if you do what you say you will, you will have a fine chance,</p>

<p>as for the foreign language, you may be able to get away without any if you took two-three years in h.s. or you might have to take an introductory course, but I’m not completely sure</p>

<p>Prior to entering community college, I had studied Spanish for about 7 years (used to live in southern California) through all of my high school years, and I can honestly say that I don’t want to take any more Spanish classes. :P</p>
