<p>I go to VT and I’m an engineer.</p>
<p>No clue as to what GPA you need to transfer. To take any engineering classes at VT you need to have taken the ‘intro to engineering’ classes first. So if you come in without anything that will count for them you’re going to be significantly behind. SOME CCs do have a class that will transfer (at least I know that the New River CC does) but check to see if your school has any. With that in mind, it isn’t too important to take all of your chemistry/physics classes now, since it is unlikely you could come in without that class and graduate in two years. And by unlikely I mean Will Not Happen. I can’t give you a bare bones outline for engineering students at VT, but I can tell you what my suggested schedule was to stay on track for 4 years.</p>
<p>For an MSE major at VT, after their freshman year that should have had:
Chem 1 + lab
Intro to Engineering 1/2
English 1/2
Linear Algebra
Vector Geometry
Calc 1/2
Physics 1
2 electives</p>
<p>After sophomore year they should have also had
Three in major classes (intro to MSE, professional development, Metallurgy)
Chemistry 2
Electrical Theory
Statics
Deforms
Multivariable Calculus
Differential Equations
Physics 1
Another two electives</p>
<p>So basically, if you’re asking if you can transfer here after your sophomore year and graduate in 4 years (total) the answer is probably no. To even come close you would have to take summer classes, which you should avoid at all costs since you should be interning during that time. If you can find some way to take the intro to engineering classes before your Junior year (first year at VT) then you should be able to graduate in 3 years (at VT) pretty easily. You’d basically be the same as every other sophomore but instead of having to take some of the physics/chemistry classes you could knock out later electives or have easier semesters.</p>
