Hi everyone.
Does anyone know how strict the conversion between semester and quarter credits are? Most schools have their requirements in semester credits and I happen to have attended a school that utilizes the quarter system. I have been using a chart to convert the credits, but I'm wondering how strict the conversions are. For example, Minnesota requires 3 semester units of an introductory stats class, which equates to 4.5 quarter units. I took an intro stats class that was 4 quarter units. If I were to fulfill the 3 semester credit hours, I would have had to take an additional stats class since the highest amount of units I would have received for ANY stats class my school offered was 4 quarter units. Has anyone else had this problem? I am having this problem with Tufts and Penn as well. I emailed Minnesota about this issue and have not had a response back yet....
