[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 993704, member: 2627"] I can't speak to whether this is different for athletes but since my daughter transferred to GT last summer we did a lot of research on the classes she needed to take in order to get in to GT. One thing I found interesting is that, for some reason, Calc 1 is required for every single person transferring into GT. My daughter's chosen major is LMC (yes some of our athletes are also in this major and she had class with a few of them last semester - said that Avery Boyd is a really nice person and a very hard worker!) and it does not require Calc. But since she transferred in she had to take Calc 1 at KSU before coming to GT and then, since she was already on the Calc track, she had to take Calc 2. I don't know if that impacts our football transfers. Anyway, while doing research, we found an app on the GT website where you go and pick the school where you are currently enrolled and you look up the classes you've taken and then it shows you the class at GT that it maps to, if it does map to anything at GT. I imagine that with the football players there are academic support staff that will do that mapping. What I suspect is a challenge is that kids may have a bunch of classes that don't count as anything other than free electives and that affects their progress towards degree. But also, since there are progress towards degree requirements in general that probably has helped GT overall. [/QUOTE]
