What brings most of us together is a love of weather... not absurd posts in OT about who has the most recent picture of themselves or a new sitcom on ABC.

monadnocks Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Thanks for the advice everyone! I'm just completely suck and have no clue what to do and the only people I know that I can get great advice from are you guys. Perhaps I can go the community college route, however, I have to find out if those classes would transfer over. There is a community college down the street from me in Hartford which I could apply to and such. How would I find out if classes from there would transfer over? Would I contact the admissions office from WCSU? Hey there! It's probably very doable. Begin here: http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/transfer.htm#csu which essentially says call and ask us. Here in NH, we have several majors at UNH Manchester which must start at the community college level. It saves students a ton of money and often lets them work part time in their field before moving onto to the UNH system. If CT works like NH, then once you're accepted to the major, you're pretty much guaranteed admission to the university. Sometimes there are restrictions on courses based on the number of people who want a course but that's the case pretty much anywhere. As others have said, take a breath. There are tons of times in your life when you'll need to regroup and make a new plan. I remember when my BIL came up to visit from Georgia in the middle of a very snowy winter. He went tobagganing at night on our hill and came in complaining about how cold it was. Umm... night, snow in his gloves, Georgia "winter" jacket, yup! he needed a new plan. Instead, he went snowboarding the next day. At least he learned that daytime was substantially warmer... -monadnocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to a community college for a few semesters then transferred to a university. He got his masters degree then a great job. There is no reason you can't find a similar path. You're a bright kid and you'll do just fine so long as you stay after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I can even start taking met classes I need to take pre-calc and physics, so even if I were to start at WCSU in the fall I still wouldn't be able to take met classes until the following year anyways. So I can get take these two at Capitol and get them out of the way and perhaps even take some other general classes. Doing this if I can go to WCSU the following fall I can take more classes needed for my major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be acing both of those at CCC. If you don't have a strong foundation for calc you're totally screwed going forward. Taking those kinds of courses at WCSU is a waste of money to be honest... get them out of the way at CCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm going to have trouble with pre-calc and physics, especially considering I haven't done any math in 5-6 years now. It would probably benefit me more just taking these two courses along with one or two others, as opposed to a full schedule of classes as this would give me more time to concentrate on the pre-calc/physics work.

Agreed. If you're struggling/barely passing pre-calc or have no idea what's going on met is definitely not for you. If you work really hard and can focus on not just passing the class but learning the content you'll have a good foundation for the future. Take 3 classes or something your first semester then 3 the second. You'll have 18 credits and be in good shape for WCSU. I would try to make an appointment to meet with admissions people and met people at WCSU to get ideas of what classes to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably benefit me more just taking these two courses along with one or two others, as opposed to a full schedule of classes as this would give me more time to concentrate on the pre-calc/physics work. Paul - I was 5 years removed from my most recent math course and 7 years removed from my most recent science course when I quit my job to start the post-bac premed course work at tufts a few years ago. It included physics, chemistry, bio and organic chemistry. I spent some time beforehand watching free lectures on the MIT site to reacquaint myself with some of the material before going to my first lectures. If you have the time to spare, it wouldn't hurt to try and watch some of those lectures online and maybe do some work to get your feet wet before diving right into the course work. Based on the level of interest and passion you've shown with learning the ins and outs of severe weather I don't doubt that if you focus your passion toward learning this important material as a foundation for your future met classes that you will succeed. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ is the link for the MIT courses - not sure if they offer pre-calc but I imagine a similar type of lecture is available somewhere to help do some pre-work.

weatherwiz Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Thanks for all the advice everyone, it's much appreciated. The application fee for Capitol is only $20 so I will do all that stuff tomorrow and I assume I'll hear back much faster from them than WCSU and then I can begin the financial aid process. Fall classes start on 8/29 which is just over 3 months away so I don't want to waste any time. Also, I think I'm going to look up some pre-calc/physics stuff online and at least get myself a bit familiar with some of the material so I don't go into the class completely clueless.

stormtracker Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yeah it's a weather forum. If people want to discuss other stuff they should do so on a separate website. I agree to a certain point. It creates all kind of ill will and carries over to this side. It takes a lot to be banned from a subforum. And especially by unanimous consent of the staff. It's only happened one time in the history of eastern and here. I'd be in favor of scrapping it, but we tried that before and we had a near riot.
