@TerribleBPthrower posted:Nope, absolutely incorrect. The math rigor at top HA schools is much harder than your typical 4 year. Calc at MIT is much harder than calc at big state U. Same goes for physics, chemistry, engineering, etc.
Yep. And there are some majors, like engineering, nursing, CS, that must be declared either spring freshman year or fall sophomore year because course specialization starts early.
So a Juco transfer into one of these majors is almost certainly going to have to spend an extra year in college. Unless it’s a public-public transfer within the same state where the path is pre-defined.
