Chemistry

[gpezzulo]

Hello,

 

I'm currently a freshman at Manhattan College with a major of Allied Health Science on the pre-medical track. I'll be transferring to St. John's this fall into the PA program. I did not take chemistry at Manhattan College but I plan on taking it at my local community college this summer. However, I have heard that the chemistry classes are extremely specific and unique to St. John's and the program. Does anyone know if the credits from a community college chemistry class and lab would transfer over and meet the requirements of St. John's?

 

Thanks

(My cc chem credits transferred fine...)

 

By the way: only chem 1 is required for independent students... (not chem 2, orgo, biochem).

Did your credits transfer because you were transferring to St. John's into the professional phase years? Or did you enter as a graduate student? I'm not really sure what exactly will transfer over since I'm entering as a sophomore this fall.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there are no graduate students in this program--just undergrads and certificate-only-students (independents). About 2/3 of my science prereqs were at cc's.

From what I've learned in an interview at St. John's a few weeks ago, the University typically accepts 10-15 students into the Professional Phase program that already have their BS

I think I've misunderstood what you're asking. I also think I'm not the one who should answer (I'm entering as an independent.) Sorry :)

Don't worry, you were helpful! Hopefully if I take chem at county my credits will transfer over

If you don't mind me asking, how competitive was it to get into their pre-pa program? I have a few CC credits and am very, very interested in transferring there. I noticed this post was a few years old, how do you like it there? Any advice?

You have to have good GPA if you are planning to transfer as a Pre-Pa. It's a good University.
