<p>thanks man</p>
<p>there was someone over on the USC transfers forum who had a 3.8 cumulative, but did not have his english pre-req complted correctly and he got a 4.0 for his spring grades and he got rejected, make sure you take care of the english requirement.</p>
<p>Did he no take english at all? Or was his problem that his english did count as WRIT-130. Because if I recall correctly, the admissions staff doesnt really know what classes will satisfy what requirements. That all gets settled AFTER you get admitted, correct?</p>
<p>he tested out of the first part of english and took the 2nd part or something like that but he did take an english course, but after he got rejected he inquired why and they said he hadn't completed the english preqs</p>
<p>I was accepted to USC with only English 101 and an English Literature course...so, I would not worry to much...(especially since equivalecies are not determined until after admission)...and I think that my literature course is going to the Arts and Letters portion of the GE's....so, overall, I only had English 101</p>
<p>ok i was wrong he tested out of eng 131 at his school but didnt get credit for it and when he applied with a 3.74 tranfser gpa with 4.0 for spring grades he got rejected because he didnt have any english writing courses because he didnt get credit for that writing course he tested out of</p>
<p>^^ In any case it is best we get an official word on that req....maybe we should just send them the possible writing courses available with some description and atleast they can then sort of hint whether it equals writ 130...because USC challenges that 2 courses at other univs make their writ 130 course..but i am pretty sure that given the intensity of the course which i have at my college it should easily be equal to writ 130</p>
<p>USC told me the class at UConn which would be WRIT-130 (they have a few articulation histories) but what sucks is that last year was the final year that UConn offered that class. She then told me to take it at a community college while at UConn, but I explained to her how UConn is literally in the middle of NOWHERE meaning no CC's are around...and besides, UConn freshman and sophomores cant have cars. So she then told me to take the normal UConn fresh. english class, but to write a note to admissions explaining why I'm not taking the class that has worked for WRIT-130 for UConn students in the past.</p>
<p>Does anyone know about the Cat III requirement? The transfer booklet (and other info that I have) says that you have to have a lab with the science class taken in order to satisfy the requirement. However, I read on CC where students have satisfied that requirement with the AP exam, when that does not include a lab. Anyone know about this?</p>
<p>...want to speculate?</p>
<p>Yeah...I think you can have an AP score of 4 or 5 in Biology (definitely) and Chemisty (maybe) to get a Cat III GE requirement...you NEED a 4 or 5 for GE credit...however, if you get a score of 3 in those you can still get elective credit, but will still have to take a Cat III...I guess that they figure that your AP class did have a lab with it..</p>
<p>okay..., but the Chem class i took didn't require a lab. Wonder if they would still give ge credit or make one take an additional lab...</p>
<p>actually AP will get u the credit for the GE at USC but if u just got credit for a science class by giving your current college's own placement exam then you wont recieve the GE credit (or any credit for that class for that matter)</p>
<p>No, it was an actual Chemistry class that I took at a 4yr University. They just don't require certain majors to take labs.</p>
