<p>I’ve gotten some stuff verified by my advisor:</p>
<p>Pre-calculus is the lowest they’ll go in terms of mathematics transferring. Anything like college algebra or what not will not transfer. I can’t however speak about combining several courses (and credits) that covered, in total, pre-calc and having it count for one course.</p>
<p>If you took two semesters of english, 1 writing course and 1 literature course at community college, and the literature course was entirely about reading stories, novels, poems, etc, and writing about them (not writing about yourself) there’s a very good chance you may be able to have that count as 1 of your 2 literature courses for the core. You need to have the course approved by the english department (send them the syllabus etc) and then bring it to your advisor.</p>
<p>For science, if your an econ or math major or something with a high degree of math, calculus courses can count towards your science requirement. I took a science course at community college, and will be taking calculus 1 and 3 at columbia. those three courses satisfied by science requirement of the core.</p>
<p>For any of you who took courses that are ambiguous name-wise in terms of them either being “pre-professional” or something else, if you disagree with their decision, appeal it. very easy all you need are syllabuses and some legit reasoning. </p>
<p>Anyone have any experience with the music exemption? I’m going through the process right now and am really hoping this works!</p>
