<p>Do you need to take French? If not, I wouldn’t.</p>
<p>Another thing that strikes me is taking Calc for business after Calc 2, is that normal? At my school Calc for business is instead of Calc 1 & Calc 2. </p>
<p>Intro to Physical science? Why?</p>
<p>Did you get these classes from your CC’s requirements or the schools you want to transfer to? I’d look at the schools you want to transfer to and only take what will help you transfer or meet their requirements. Make sure you have a reason for taking each and every class and that that reason relates to the schools you want to transfer to.</p>
<p>16 credits is a lot for the summer.</p>
<p>Intermediate algebra might not transfer so that’s 3 credits less you have to worry about.</p>
<p>How did you determine what you needed to take? Are your math skills so weak that you need all these remedial courses? Is someone advising you in picking things out?</p>
<p>I dropped out of high school before completeing algebra 2.</p>
<p>What exactly are you wanting to pursue when you transfer? Thinking about that might help get rid of a few classes. Also go on the websites for the colleges you are wanting to transfer into and see what is required.</p>
<p>Or IF POSSIBLE, transfer after the spring 2012 semester. Or don’t take summer courses. Or slim down the list of summer courses. I wouldn’t recommend taking that many summer courses.</p>
<p>I am just throwing different ideas out there.</p>
<p>i want to double major in finance/math. Fordhams site does not say much for transferring. I contacted admissions and all she said was she can’t review my classes until i am accepted.</p>
<p>Ok, first of all the summer courses are way too much, and may not even all be offered in summer sessions. Second you have separated some things which should be taken in consecutive semesters, like English comp I and II and French I and II. I really think you need to see an advisor, explain your situation, and come up with something realistic. </p>
<p>Third, I wouldn’t worry about the transfer credit situation as much as getting a schedule that makes sense. Schools probably won’t count the 3 remedial math courses as fulfilling anything in the way of requirements. Fourth, it’s way too early to even think about a major in math at this point.</p>
<p>what do you mean? I must major in math its for my career of choice. I also must major in finance this will give me the better upper hand. And ofcourse if i can get into UIUC or Fordham im golden for success.</p>
<p>and do you mean collegealgebra is remedial. My college advisor picked the algebras for me. Math is my best subject My brain is wired for math. i always got a’s in it. Since i dropped out though i couldn’t complete it. I was in honors alegbra 2 though.</p>
<p>Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, and Pre-Calculus are all essentially remedial, as you should have had them in high school. </p>
<p>A degree in finance doesn’t require a degree in mathematics as well, and at this point you have not had enough mathematics courses to decide whether a degree in mathematics is realistic for you or not. You may think you have, but it’s still too far out there. Has your college advisor picked these other courses as well? Because you still have too much overload for summers, etc.</p>
<p>College algebra and pre-calculus are not remedial courses, not everyone takes the same high school math courses.</p>
<p>Intermediate algebra is remedial, but that doesn’t mean its bad. If you dropped out of algebra 2, starting with intermediate algebra would probably be a good idea.</p>
<p>I agree that students take many different math sequences in high school, but if the OP wants to be a math major in college, then every math class before Calculus I is remedial. </p>
<p>Some colleges start the sequence of courses required for the math major at Calc I. But many of the top colleges start the actual math major at multivariable calculus (Calc 3), with Calc 1 and Calc 2 as prerequisites.</p>
