Schools How should I go about my degree/transfer plans - college par

AI Thread Summary
Transferring to the University of Maryland, College Park is a goal for many students, particularly those from community colleges with strong grades. However, having four dropped classes, including calculus II and physics I, raises concerns about transfer eligibility. Achieving high grades in retakes of these courses can mitigate the impact of the drops. Students are encouraged to explore other reputable engineering programs in the DMV area as alternatives, ensuring they maintain a competitive academic profile. Overall, retaking courses successfully is seen as a viable strategy to strengthen transfer applications.

So I'd like to transfer to college park ultimately after community college! I have the grades that they want...However, I have one issue. I have four dropped classes, one in calc 2 and one in physics 1... I got the grade they wanted in calc 2 on the first try but i wanted an A..Ultimately dropped the class. For the physics 1 drop, I had some family stuff going on that caused me to drop that.. What are other good engineering programs comparable to that of umd college park's in the DMV area?? L

If you went back and re-took these courses and earned an A or B, then I don't think you will have a problem.

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...
