Transfer Question?

Transfer Students
1

I just finished my first year of SUNY Community College and I thought it went pretty well. I will give you my stats and see where I lay a good chance.

HS GPA: 85% (We didn’t use a point scale)
SAT: 1410 out of 2400 (I have seen that SAT scores don’t matter for transferring so I probably wont retake)

I never did any APs but I was straight A's and B's in pretty much all my Math and Science courses

Through my first year of CC:
CC GPA: 3.3 (I plan on rising this to a 3.6-3.7)

Courses I have taken:
Trig/College Algebra (B)
Calc I (I taken this twice. I gotta D first semester and an A second semester)
Intro to Computer Science (A)
Programming and Logic I (B)
English Comp I & II (A’s in both)
Literature Into Film (C - This class kinda sucked)
Macroeconomics (B)
American History I (A)

Courses I plan on taking:
Calc II
Physics I & II
Programming and Logic II
C++ Programming

American Literature I

Extras:
I have a part time job where work about 20 hrs/week since my Senior year in HS
I am an administrator for a programming website where we help out other people with programming problems (Stack Overflow)
In HS I played in AAU basketball and HS basketball
I have served in community service. I served at a local retirement home and helped the elderly people. I also did church work where I served at a homeless shelter.

I assisted coach a local CYO basketball team from grades 1-5

Schools:

NJIT
Temple

I have safeties at UAlbany and SUNY IT.

As a fellow Comp. Sci. transfer student I would definitely advise you to do really well in the classes related to your major, including Calculus and Physics. If you can get your GPA close to 3.7 you’ll be fine. I’d say forget about taking Literature, you need to show that you’re a competitive STEM major. And btw, you can’t get less than A in a C++ Programming class if you’re an admin at Stack Overflow :stuck_out_tongue: I’ve taken that class the past semester and I should be thanking some posters for pointing me to the right direction! Good luck!

I would forget about the Literature class but my CC is making me take an English class and American Literature has the easiest english teacher in the whole school. I hate it though, I wish I could take more CS related classes. And yes C++ is very easy to me, I would probably have done it by now but the class requires prerequistes so.

All your choices are reasonable. The question is where will you have the most affordable option.
