<p>I am applying to CSUF for FALL 2006 as a transfer from a community college. By the end of spring 2006 I will have more than 60 units,satisfied my major requirments and GE except Speech communication which I will complete it on summer 2006.is that acceptable or do I need to complete speech communication before that?</p>
<p>i'm not sure about CSUF ( i dont even what college that is) but, many schools have a max number of credits you can have in order to transfer...</p>
<p>actually, I have about 100 hrs but I am still applying to transfer. I called and talked to admissions people at claremont-mckenna, cornell, and rice who said that it didnt matter as long as their was a reason for having that many credits before transfering. In my case, I am applying after 2 and a half years because I did not know that I needed to transfer until this summer. So, if you have a good reason for not transfering before now, it shouldnt matter at some schools. For example, Tufts said that I am not eligable to apply and I am still waiting to hear back from UVA. So just contact the college. Of course, they told me this, but I have not recieved my decisions yet. Hope that helps</p>
<p>I think you misunderstood me.
My question is If i am transfering to Fall 2006 do i need to finish my requirements by the end of Spring 2006? or summer 2006?</p>
<p>Sorry about that. Summer should be fine. On most applications there is a spot to list courses that you intend to take before enrolling in the school. If there is not a spot, just attach the information on a seperate paper. If you have consistently good grades in all your other classes then they will probably expect you to do as well in the courses you will take this summer. Bottom line: let them know you are taking these courses during the summer and you should be fine.</p>
<p>They just email me this:</p>
<p>No, you must complete all the "golden four" one semester before transfer. Take the Oral Communications course in Spring 2006 to make sure you are admitted. If you have any further questions please let me know.</p>
<p>so i guess i have to cram it into my spring semester. 18 units</p>
<p>Does your school have winter intercession? I think schools with intercession usually offer the speech class you need.</p>
<p>18 units actually isn't that bad (depending, of course, on which classes you're taking). I routinely took 18 or 21 units a semester and managed straight As (but again, was only in basic transfer level maths and sciences, which aren't my forte). If you really don't want to do 18, what about doing one of your other non "golden four" classes during the summer?</p>
<p>Oh and speech, depending on who's teaching, won't be too too stressful anyways. </p>
<p>Which CC are you at, out of curiosity?</p>
<p>lookinf4aschool, is Cornell going to make you forfeit the credits that you have over 60, or can you keep them and just pursue other fields at Cornell? What is their policy on credit if you have over 60 when transferring? Are you applying for the spring semester '06?</p>
<p>I go to Golden West college. My goal is UCI. But I am applying to fullerton as a safe. Maybe i will take the speech in the winter session.</p>
<p>coll4me: Heh, what a coincidence, I was looking at the GWC website before I posted the suggestion.</p>
<p>I would definitely take a winter intercession class if I were you. Since they're forced to cram a 16-week class into 4 weeks, they leave a lot of stuff out and grade a lot easier, too (well, from personal experience, at least).</p>
<p>Hey bullseye,
If I get into cornell, as with any other school, I can only transfer 60 hrs of credit. Although this means I will lose quite a bit, I dont mind. I will lose credits that dont even apply to cornell but are required for my current university. Also, in my major I will lose most of my credit. However, the reason I am applying is so that I can take courses in public economics and regional economics that my school doesnt offer. My theory on it is that I can lose offical credits, but I still remember everything I learned. I am applying for spring '06. The way you asked that makes me think you are applying too. Are you? If so what college are you applying for and have you applied yet?
(sorry this is disjointed, I am in a huge rush)</p>
<p>That's what I'm concerned about. I want to get the credits that will transfer for classes I know I'll have to take in college, like anatomy, I don't want to have to take that again. Remembering everything you learned is important, and yes retaking it is good so you can get that easy A, but I really want to finish in four years. If Cornell can gaurentee me that, then I'm definitely going to go if I get in. Yes, I am applying, but for fall 2006. I want to finish some second semester courses so I can finish the sequence and then move on. I am a biology major, what I'm concerned about is their AP policy and whether I will have to take the intro bio and chem courses that have been exempt because my AP score was good enough. I don't want to have to retake those because that would put me behind. The reason I am applying is to get some research opportunities as well as take advantage of the high placement rate Cornell has to med school. Also, Cornell seems to have all the resources I want/need, as well as pretty good advising, from what I have read. I'm a sophomore now, and bio premed, so I just want to stay on track with graduation and have a blast and take full advantage of what Cornell offers me while still graduating in four years. Unless maybe they let me get a master's in five, then I'll reconsider. That's just the way I look at things. I realize there will be some classes that I might lose, but if Cornell has so many classes, I'm sure there are some classes that will be equivalent to what I have taken so far. I don't know, I really can't say much as I haven't gotten in yet. I'm applying for CALS. I really hope I get in, right now it's my first choice.</p>
