<p>On the website, Dartmouth particularly says they prefer that you not take econ courses at your current institution & instead wait & take them there.</p>
<p>Has anyone successfully transferred to Dartmouth (or other schools with the similar rule) having already taken econ courses prior to transferring?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>“TRANSFER CREDIT
Normally, no more than three courses transferred for Dartmouth credit from other institutions will be credited toward fulfillment of a regular or modified major in economics, including both prerequisites and courses counting for the major. Students are discouraged from transferring the equivalents of Economics 20, 21, and 22. No transfer credit is possible for a 40-level or an 80-level course to satisfy the culminating experience.”</p>
<p>I think it’s as unequivocally clear as possible. Also, getting in and getting transfer credit are mutually exclusive. Take a combination of courses that will both satisfy your major and yield a good GPA. Worry about credits later.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
