<p>So the title has nothing to do with anything I just have a question. If your looking to transfer you need good grades obviously and they say you should take a hard schedule, but what exactly is a hard schedule in terms of college? Is that like 5 classes a semester or what? I really have no idea...</p>
<p>me neither</p>
<p>thats the one thing im worried about for transfer, i took the easiest schedule possible</p>
<p>14 credits 1st semester, then 12, and this semester it will be 12 or 13...i also took one class pass/fail each of my first two semesters to ensure i didnt get a B or B+...i also took all 100 level classes my first year, but now all 200 level</p>
<p>woops</p>
<p>thats easily the biggest flaw in my app....ughhh...im wondering what it means to, but i doubt its good for me</p>
<p>I have 18 credits first semester and it sucks. I'm only taking 4 classes though, which are 4 credits each, plus a lab. They're all required pre-requisities so I didn't have much choice. Even my elective, environmental sci, has nothing to do with my major, I just took it to get rid of the sci requirement.</p>
<p>It all depends upon what your major is and what classes you are taking. Sometimes the 100-400 level applies and sometimes it is way off; usually the title of the course and number of credits indicates its difficulty. You usually should take between 15 and 18 credits. Pass/fail courses are not seen favorably.</p>
<p>wayward_trojan is right, a lot of it depends on your major. easy or hard classes are often determined by the difficulty of the major. since this is the case, make sure most of the classes you take work toward your intended major (most schools require you to indicate a major for transfer applications). the number in front of the course doesn't necessarily determine how hard the course is; the school will be looking at the course title and course description.</p>
<p>this is going to be my fatal flaw, i know it</p>
<p>i should have taken higher level classes last semester, im sure i would have done just as well in them</p>
<p>ALAS!</p>
<p>i wouldn't freak out yet dufflebagjesus. if your classes were diverse and followed the core program (assuming your school and the one you want to goto has one) then that is fine too. since core programs have several different kinds of classes it is expected for them to be entry level.</p>
