Transferring to TTU petro engineering

<p>I am transferring to TTU in fall 2014 and was hoping someone could possibly shed some insight and share any tips to make sure I succeed. There is a lot of pressure as I will not be accepted to the pre engineering program until I take 12 credit hours and obtain a 3.2 at tech. From what i have researched you only have one shot at getting into the program and if I somehow fall short of the 3.2 from getting an unfortunate C, then i'm stuck in Texas without a degree program. I have a few options. I could survey calc 3 and physics 2 in the summer to make sure I can ace them when I transfer to guarantee admission into the program, or I could take those classes and take statics or dynamics as well as some other intro engineering classes.</p>

<p>If I go to the earliest possible orientation in may, would i have a good chance of being able to pick the best classes/professors or are they likely already filled by then.</p>

<p>Also, would calc 3 and physics 2 be easy gpa boosters or still weed out courses and should finish them so I can take statics or dynamics first semester?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you started in foundational, you have more than 1 shot to get the 3.2</p>

<p>Calc 3 is a hit or miss class, teachers being the main variable. Physics 2 is considered a weed out class and to an extent so is statics, the main weed out class is thermo.</p>

<p>Honestly the cut off should be 3.5, and I’ve been discussing that with our advisor so it should become a reality soon. We have way too many students in the program right now just trying to make a quick buck, but I’m biased so…</p>

<p>thank you for your advice. Does anyone have an more feedback they can offer</p>
