<p>I am enrolling in Trinity for next year, but I am unsure of what courses to take. Even though I am in Trinity, I keep thinking I shouldve applied to Pratt. Is it easy to transfer? I am pretty sure I read that it is on another thread, so I was wondering what classes I should take if I am planning on transferring after my freshman year. I know Duke is known for its biomedical engineering, and I think that is what I will study, assuming I transfer. So, what I am wondering is, what classes are necessary for a prospective biomedical engineer currently enrolled in Trinity? I already have AP credits for BC Calc and Chem. I would like to continue with Spanish (I have AP credit for Spanish as well), but I am unsure of whether I can still take all the biomedical courses I need and study Spanish at the same time. If you were in my position, what courses would you register for?</p>
<p>Take a 100 level spanish class to fullfil your FL requirement in case you stay in Trinity. Take EGR 53, Math 103 and Writing 20. If you switch to Pratt then in the spring you will take Chem 22, Math 107, Physics 61, and some elective you want to take or BME 8.</p>
<p>If your Spanish is fairly decent (like you aren't worried about reading and writing), take a 100 level class to get it done. It's nice to only have class twice a week instead of 3 or 4. I took 114S which was great, but I don't think it's being offered next semester. If you might want to minor, take 101. If not, 105 is supposed to be decent or you could take 104 or 106.</p>
<p>You should transfer now if you are fairly certain that you want to transfer. This will get you out of some of the seminar requirements.</p>
<p>Seminars aren't evil, so don't worry about that requirement :-D I agree with DukeRose4288 and might add at least auditing EGR 10 to get an overview of engineering.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the responses. Is it possible to transfer right now? Who do I contact about transferring to Pratt?</p>
<p>As far as I know, you have to spend at least a year in the college you matriculated in.</p>
<p>I know that is not true for students in pratt. I know many kids who switched to Trinity after being accepted and before coming to Duke. I would just call them. </p>
<p>Dr. G is right, seminars aren't all that bad. I like them. But since I want to double in econ/BME, seminars just aren't much of an option without taking a fifth class.</p>
<p>Can you transfer after one semester?</p>
<p>Once here, you cannot officially transfer until after the first year, but you can, for all other intents and purposes, act as if you are in the other program. The main exception is, Pratt people planning to switch to Trinity do not have the seminar requirement, while Trinity people, regardless of planning to switch to Pratt, do. Pratt students, however, have some Trinity requirements, and generally one can be satisfied by the seminar so it isn't as if it's a wholly unusable course.</p>
<p>another question on courses to take--is there a point in taking math 103x instead of math 103? i qualify for 103x, but i want to get a good GPA...if there's no added benefit to taking 103x, i won't take the risk. i want to go to law school soooo im just wondering whether honors classes help you at all</p>
