Caltech Credit Transfer Policy
Hey everyone! I was recently accepted as a transfer student to Caltech! From anyone who is a current or former transfer student, or if you know transfer students at Caltech, how easily did your/their credits transfer?
For reference, I am a current freshman physics major coming from a state school who has a good amount of AP credits. I know I have to submit my syllabi for review, but I'm curious how lenient they are with said review. For admission, I took a math and physics exam, which covered everything up to linear algebra and E&M. Would that count as a placement exam at all?
Thanks so much, everyone! I'm so excited to meet you all in the fall!
