<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I am in my second semester at North Hennepin Community College in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. I plan on majoring in history and want at least a B.A degree. The American History and Western Civilization have been easy, in fact, I am writing papers for the class 'Immigrant America: 1820-1920' at my intended college, Saint Cloud State.</p>

<p>Considerations: Saint Cloud State University, Mankato State University, prefer SCSU, more rigid requirements.</p>

<p>My status:
4.0 GPA (I'll bet it will go just a little bit lower, even though I am scoring about 95% in all my classes and I am taking 17 credits)</p>

<p>American History (honors in WWII, which is not a sequence course, and 1877 to the present) and Western Civ sequence completed in Fall of 2005</p>

<p>NHCC Writing Center (volunteering, I joined too late to get paid)</p>

<p>I am actually working on the advanced American History with a professor that was a student and teacher at Saint Cloud State, which is really kind of cool.</p>

<p>Two Honors projects: HOPE Initiative and a school-based project about the Amistad trial.</p>

<p>My question:</p>

<p>Does anyone have a long drive to school? The trip would be a little over an hour one way It would cost 2,500 less to drive to school, and I could probably create a schedule in which I did not have to go to school five days a week. I also have $1,000 saved up to pay for gas.</p>

<p>Is anyone a history major (any college)? How is the course work?</p>

<p>Depending on your ambition and how many credits you've accumulated so far, I would say that you'd have, at the very least, a fighting chance at the top tier universities with a 4.0</p>

<p>I suppose that information would have helped..</p>

<p>I plan on transferring (not so much plan, but I have to do this to complete the requirements) 49 credits. I would only be 11 credits short of an AA degree, but I do not feel like sticking around and wasting time on unneeded electives, seeing how the selection at my college is kind of limited.</p>
