As of now I am a freshman at Colorado School of Mines. Last year when I was a senior in highschool I was deciding whether to go to mines or CU boulder, I choose to go to mines as said above. I don’t really like it here so in October I was looking into transferring into CU’s aerospace engineering program in the spring of 2019, as that is what my major was when I got accepted in the fall 2018. I did the transfer application October 1st, and finally today they got back to me. I talked with my councilor and he said basically that I need to complete calc 1, calc 2, and chemistry or physics at a community college then I can most likely get into the school of engineering at CU starting next year in the fall of 2019. This is fine and all, but I just feel like going to community college just sets me more behind then I already am. This semester I’m in a lot of required classes for mines, that CU doesn’t’ necessarily require, the only class that will really only be a requirement is Calc 1. Is there any way that I can be accepted into the engineering program in the spring of 2019 if I take on extra classes or anything. The curriculum for aerospace engineering at CU for fall freshman is: Calc 1, Engineering projects, computer science, and a HSS elective. I feel like if they would accept me in the engineering program I could catch up on these requirements specific to CU, rather than a community college where I couldn’t take engineering projects, or anything like that.
Why do you want to transfer? What is it that you don’t like about the Colorado School of Mines?
