<p>In college board, it is said that Yale transfer are accepted with max credit hours of 18.</p>
<p>It also says that they Don`t take Freshman , Only Sophomore/Junior?</p>
<p>So What does it mean, for being sophomore you have to have at least 30 hours.
How is that possible?</p>
<p>Yale doesn’t have regular graduation requirements… it’s really free and open. And you get 36 credits (courses) to graduate. So 18, or half, is the maximum you can transfer.</p>
<p>Does this mean if you have taken more than 18 classes you cannot apply for transfer, or just that your credits will only transfer for 18 of the classes?</p>
<p>When you attend Y, each course is worth 1 credit, the exception being lab courses (.5) and language classes (1.5). Most students take 4-5 courses/credits a semester. Y definitely has distributional requirements (humanities, sciences, social sciences, quantitative reasoning, writing & FL), it is not an open curriculum ala Brown or Amherst.</p>
<p>You cannot have completed more than 2 yrs of college credit to apply as a transfer, that may be more or less than 18 classes depending on how many units each class was. According to their definition, two full years is the maximum you can have to be considered as transfer applicant AND the maximum they will give you credit for:</p>
<p>“If you have received a bachelor’s degree (or the equivalent) or if by the end of the current academic year you will have completed more than two full years toward the degree, you are not eligible to transfer to Yale, nor may you apply through the freshman admission process. (You may not voluntarily relinquish credits in order to qualify for consideration.)”</p>
