To transfer or not to transfer

<p>I’m a freshman, so you may want to take what I am saying with a grain of salt.</p>

<p>It appears you will still need D2 (social sciences/history) credit, about 3-4 classes in this area. Classes in sociology, political science, anthropology, psychology, and some history courses count in this area. Since you are already 3 semesters into college, you may want to talk to Rice admissions or the Office of the Registrar to see if these requirements will be waived (some schools waive curriculum requirements for second semester sophomore/junior transfers). However, I’m pretty confident you can fulfill these requirements: 5 core courses is very doable within 5 semesters, especially since you have a lot of your major requirements out of your way. Also, you need about 120 credits to graduate, which I feel can also be done if you take about 4-5 classes per semester and if you have been taking 4-5 classes per semester at your current school.</p>

<p>Not trying to sway you or anything, but if I were in your shoes, I would definitely take up this offer. While UMissouri is not a bad school, I feel like there are a lot of opportunities at Rice and that come with a Rice degree. However, be sure you like Rice better than UMissouri before you decide coming here. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
