AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the process of applying to a four-year university after earning an associate degree in Communications Applications Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. The individual has a low GPA of 2.0 from the first three years of college but achieved a 4.0 GPA during the last year while deployed. Key questions include whether to apply as a transfer student or as a high school graduate, given the completion of an AA/AS degree. Responses indicate that standard admissions procedures will likely apply, and the applicant should apply as a transfer student due to existing college credits. It is suggested that the application will require submission of transcripts and may include sections to highlight the prior degree. Overall, the consensus is to follow the transfer student route while ensuring all academic records are submitted.

I recently graduated with an associates degree in Communications Applications Technology from the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF). I would like to go back to a 4-year university to earn a bachelor's degree in some sort of engineering/science major. However, I have a few questions real quick. My GPA during my first 3-years of college was a mere 2.0; however, this past year, I had a 4.0 through CCAF while deployed. My question is, when going through the admissions process, do I go through the same methods as a transfer student even though I have an AA/AS degree? Or do I go about it as if I had just graduated high school? If neither, how?

Now that I'm back at my home station, I'd like to go back to a 4-year university to earn a BS.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would assume you will need to apply as a transfer student since you have college credit.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
