Transfer Course Requirements

I am currently a sophomore community college and I am looking to transfer to another University.I am looking at some schools out of state that are pretty competitive, I am a pretty strong candidate for those schools. However they have Macroeconomics as a required course before I go into the school, I am worried that even though I meet a lot of the requirements I won’t get in because I haven’t taken Macro yet. However last year at my previous school ( I went to a 4 year school as a Freshman) I took International Economics which is similar to Macro and I was set to take Macro and Micro next year (2015-2016) however since I transferred to my community college I had to fulfill certain course requirements like Public Speaking, Lifetime Wellness, and Financial Accounting. I’m taking Micro right now and I plan to take Macro in the summer, do you think the colleges will take that into consideration and not hold that against me since I’ll technically be taking Macro before I enroll into any school. They just say that you need to take it before enrolling but never say anything of it has to be along with a traditional academic year or course load.

I am really worried that just because I haven’t taken that class that they won’t even look at my application. Do you think I am fine applying? Am I just overreacting?

Thanks, all comments and opinions are welcomed

Yes absolutely I think they will take into account that you will be taking Macro econ over the summer. On the application just make sure you let the colleges know that you will be taking the class prior to enrollment. I don’t think that will hurt your chances at all. It is also a possibility that international Econ will fulfill the Macro Econ requirement you can ask each college if that is the case.
