Hi i’m entering for the fall class and have signed up for the PittStart may 26/27 but i read today on the engineering pittstart website they recommend coming to a later pittstart if you plan to transfer ap’s and that if you do come before you receive scores you need to sign up for the required courses then changes will be made once the university registers the scores. I can’t make any of the later ones i work at a summer camp and taking a two day leave is a huge pain as far as meeting camper to counselor ratios. But i do plan to test out of calc 1 and into calc 2. I’m confident i will get a 5, i have a good teacher and her students score very well, but i have a potential schedule planned out with calc 2 and don’t want to be forced to sign up for calc 1 at my pittstart and then change my schedule later on, not getting into the classes i had i hoped to with the professors and time slots that i want (and hopefully got at my pittstart). Have any of you heard of any leniency from the advisors with this according to gpa or act/sat scores or placement testing? Also i’m in the honors college and i have had other friends in a similar situation in other honors colleges (Uconn) and they have been able to override the required course with some type of code available only to honors college students. Does pitt have something like this? thank you
