<p>I just wanted to add that even if you get the transfer credit, you don’t have to graduate early. I felt I was not clear enough about this in my last post. Having some extra credit provides you with a lot more flexibility. You can for example take a reduced course load in some semester for personal reasons or you could take a semester off (e.g. to do an internship or for personal or health reasons) without postponing graduation. Or you could study abroad, which is rather difficult in most majors when you have to fulfill all major and distribution requirements in 3 years instead of 4.</p>
<p>You can also use the extra credit to fulfill the requirements for a Master’s degree in your major; then you would graduate with a Bachelor and a Master’s degree in 4 years! This option is called the AB/MA program and available in math, physics, chemistry, psychology, archeology, art history, classics, Greek and French.</p>
