To be competitive, you generally need to have transfer credit for Calculus I, Calculus II, Microeconomics, and Macroeconomics. Right now preference is given to transfer applicants who have these four courses, but next year it will become a hard requirement.

I have credits for Macroeconomics and Microeconomics so far, and I am taking Calc I next semester. I’m not sure I’ll have Calc 2 by the time I transfer. Based on that what do you think my chances are? @PastePotPete

So if I don’t have any of those credits transferring into the Fall 2016 semester, do I have a chance?
