NVCC Transfer Student for Math Major

<ol>
<li><p>If you meet the guaranteed admission agreement, why wouldn’t you be admitted?</p></li>
<li><p>You should look at the guaranteed engineering school agreement if you are interested in engineering. It is difficult to major in engineering and something else even for non-transfer students, so I would recommend (a) not transferring here if that is your definite intention (which, considering you don’t even mention what kind of engineering you would like seems unlikely) or (b) not planning on majoring in engineering. You could grab a bio or chem minor if you are so inclined.</p></li>
<li><p>What math classes are you taking next semester? You have enough to declare the major, but something like diff eq would be something worth taking anywhere-but-here. You will need to take about 8 math classes here (about 2 per semester) and declare a math concentration. Please google uva math for the 4 or 5 concentrations offered. I can advise on any of the classes you see as I was a math major. Math is pretty crazy here - a lot of people wanting to major switch out after linear algebra, so at least you’ve got that down (though I wonder how proof based it was at CC). Go to office hours all the time (they definitely help). I am aso pretty sure that you will also need to take computer science so that is something you could consider anywhere-but-here also. If you do have to take it here, take it in the fall when it is 150-200 students not the spring with 500+ students.</p></li>
