Converting quarter units into Semester Credits?

[Dr.Noosh]

Hi,

I was doing the Cornell application, and they asked for the semester credits for my courses. However, since i was in a quarter school, I need to know how to convert it.


The AMCAS app converted them to Semester HOURS, is that the same or different?

Thanks
please help

divide by 1.5

it is always like that

If you have 5 credit hours from a quarter system school. Divide that by 1.5 will give you about 3 semester hours.

Like the physics required for pre-med. My school(quarter system) requires s to take 3 quarters of 5 credit hours physics. So 15/1.5 will give you 10 semester hours, which is right since studnet from semester syetm school take take 2 semester of 5 credit hours physics.

Hope that helps...
