Questions from a Potential Transfer Student

<p>Hi there~</p>

<p>1) No, not every students are Christians, and you don’t really have to be one. Life there isn’t that religious as well. Its just like a normal college life. The buildings all look quite Christians tho. I’m not a religious person too, and Im doing okay there~</p>

<p>2) Yes, there is a finical aid offering. As a transfer student, you need a GPA of 3.5 before coming in. That means the GPA you got at your college. And, you need to maintain a GPA of 3.0 after getting in. </p>

<p>3+5) In short, there are four types of classes you need for Core Curriculum, and they are General (12 classes), Social Science (1-2 classes), Interdisciplinary (1 class), Language (1-4 classes). (If you are foreign international student, you wont need to study the Language part). Also, there is a part called “Major Requirements”, these will be your major academic classes. For biology, you have 67 major credits to complete. You have at least 15 biology classes, at least 6 chemistry classes, some maths and electives. Sounds lot, but if you talk to your future advisor, he/she could really guide you. If you wanna look up for more information about your classes, go to here [Seattle</a> University - College of Science and Engineering - Degrees & Courses](<a href=“http://www.seattleu.edu/scieng/biology/Default.aspx?id=9416#CP]Seattle”>http://www.seattleu.edu/scieng/biology/Default.aspx?id=9416#CP) There are also some very useful pdf file at the bottom. Go download it and take a look at them~~</p>

<p>4) Same as most college, there are Geeks, Nuts, and something in between lol Don’t Im sure you will make friends. People are nice there. And, in fact, most SU students are transfer as well. Me too, indeed. </p>

<p>6) 3.17 maybe ok, i think~ as I am not really sure about the entry requirement thing, but if you look here [Seattle</a> University 802395 Bachelor Of Arts In Biology USA US](<a href=“http://www.uniguru.com/studyabroad/United-States-courses/Bachelor-Arts-Biology-course-details/cseid/802395/cid/2674/programs.html]Seattle”>http://www.uniguru.com/studyabroad/United-States-courses/Bachelor-Arts-Biology-course-details/cseid/802395/cid/2674/programs.html) It says the freshmans are in between 3.3-3.8. I would say you will probably make in, if you did explain your GPA~~ Biology is a pretty hard major at SU, so hope you will be doing fine :)</p>

<p>I got 3.5 when I first got in last year. University does feel different than college. Make sure you don’t miss your classes too much. Most teachers only allow students to miss 3 classes only, while some don’t care. You will have to study Theology too. Thats not too bad, I liked it. Im a Psychology and Design senior student. Welcome to our school~~ :)</p>
