Transferring to Purdue University (West Lafayette campus) from a community college

<p>Hi, everyone. I am attending a California community college right now and I just recently thought about transferring to Purdue as a civil engineering major. I really don't know much about how the transferring system works for this school since I've only been preparing to transfer to a UC. Is it hard to transfer into this school? I read on their website and saw that you only need about 24 units to transfer, which is way less than the UC requirements. If I apply for the fall term (which I would really prefer), would they still let me take a class or two over the summer before that term, because I would have to take a chemistry class over the summer. Do you need a whole bunch of volunteer hours? Do they still require letters of reccomendations? Also, would I be considered a junior or a sophomore when i transfer in? Please give as much feedback as possible, since I would really like to get into this school if I have the chance. I know how prestigious it is in the engineering field.</p>

<p>Is there anyone willing to reply? I’ve had over a hundred views and so no one has bothered to say anything.</p>

<p>It’s all here.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, but I’ve already visited their site and it didn’t help me too much. What I really want to know are a few things: Will I be considered a sophomore or junior if I transfer with 24 units, and if it is really competitive to get in as a civil engineering major? What gpa should I maintain if I want my acceptance ensured?</p>
