Okay...this isn't my college classes but, it was still funny. I went with my boyfriend to a transfer day at an Ivy League University. Keep in mind you want to put your best foot forward-I mean...it's a VERY good school.

I sat with him as people asked the Admissions Counselors questions during a discussion about the school. My boyfriend and I were sitting in the SCIENCE building for all SCIENCE MAJORS at this school. Imagine our surprise when half the people didn't realize they were expected to take some sort of biology or chemistry prior to applying for transfer to this Ivy League school. People moaned and groaned as they questioned what they should do since their first two years at Community College was taken in liberal arts.

The best was when this really self-absorbed guy raised his hand after looking at the list of classes expected of all science majors. He looked up from the paper of class requirements and asked, "Ummmm...excuse me. It says here that we need 8 credits of biology. I was wondering where I could go for that since my community college doesn't offer any 8 credit courses."

The room just got silent and the look on the Admissions Counsler's face was priceless. She looked at him (trying too keep a straight face or at least a face that didn't denote how shocked she truly was) and said, "That means 8 credits over the course of two semesters. It means two 4-credit science classes with a lab."

WOW-and these people want to transfer? I'm no science major but, I can tell you that I knew the answer to that question too. I mean-WOW!
