<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I had a quick question that, what is the maximum no. of semesters or credits that a transfer applicant can have while applying for MIT ?</p>
<p>The maximum number of semesters is 5 – that is, by the time you enter MIT, you cannot have completed more than 2.5 years of college elsewhere.</p>
<p>Isn’t there an exception if all credits earned by the time of transfer are either from lower division coursework or from a junior college ?</p>
<p>I’m kind of confused at the moment, lets take an example here
Like student A may take 12 each semester & have 60 CH at the end of 5 semesters, while student B may take 18 each semester & have 90 CH. And then we have optional summer classes as well. Isn’t there any limit on the number of credit hours ?</p>
<p>I don’t know that there’s a credit limit. IIRC, the previous wording on the website was that transfers could not be within 1.5 years of graduating from their original institution – that is, instead of specifying that students had been in college less than 2.5 years, it was specified that students must have more than 1.5 years to go. </p>
<p>When in doubt, certainly email the admissions office, but my suspicion is that the above is still true.</p>
<p>Thanks mollie. I guess I have to call the admissions office.</p>
<p>So confused, can’t even register for killer summer classes hahaha :D</p>
