<p>Hey, everyone. </p>
<p>I am currently a sophomore, but taking ton of upper lever major core courses this quarter (all are junior or senior level). I dont know how the admission committee will think about if a sophomore applicant is taking so many major courses, will taking these courses hurt me?</p>
<p>Besides, I am applying the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, if I lack one year chemistry and biology series (I choose to take my major courses instead of them), will that also hurt me ?</p>
<p>I am also worried about will these courses be transferred like my general education courses.
:(
BTW, my major is math and I am an intl student. Please help me.</p>
<p>1) It doesn’t matter if you are taking upper-level courses now, PROVIDED there still are advanced courses for you to take at the new college/university. After all, you are transferring there to take that particular major, and presumably some of those particular advanced classes.</p>
<p>2) It doesn’t matter if you haven’t finished all of your gen eds yet, PROVIDED that you have time to complete the remaining gen eds and the rest of your major coursework at the new college/university. If you can’t fit them all in, will the new college/university let you take them in summer school there or elsewhere?</p>
<p>3) Each college/university determines for itself which courses will or won’t transfer, and what they will transfer as. If you want to have specific information about whether your classes will transfer at the college/university you are applying to, you need to contact that institution and ask.</p>
<p>Thank you for replying :), just one more question. For applying most Colleges of Arts and Sciences, do I have to finish all the phys, chem and bio series even if I am a math major?( I dont think it is necessary)</p>
<p>Read the graduation requirements for the places that you are applying to. Usually a math major needs one year of a lab science. Occasionally physics is a requirement for the major. However, each institution sets its own requirements so there will be differences.</p>
<p>And, remember these are graduation requirements - not what-you-have-to-do-in-order-to-transfer-here requirements!</p>
