I submitted my application to Winona State University today. I'm crossing my fingers because all of this is happening at the last minute. I wasn't thinking about it when I was planning spring semester and filled up my schedule with classes for RCTC. After this current semester, however, I will be finished with the Computer Science core classes and according to WSU: students are encouraged to begin taking taking WSU Computer Science courses concurrently after completing [the] core requirements.
That means, next semester I'm supposed to start taking WSU classes even though I'm not finished with the A.S.
In case this is confusing, I am enrolled at RCTC with a Computer Science major which is basically a Liberal Arts major with some Computer Science stuff added in. Because of an agreement between RCTC and WSU this degree transfers directly as the first two years of WSU's Computer Science B.S. major. In fact, RCTC designed this major (and some of the the required classes) specifically for this purpose. All classes are taken on the UCR campus. This arrangment is called a 2+2 because one, in theory, spends two years taking classes from each school.
So, I must now wait to see if I actually get accepted. If I do, I then have to worry about the class I need having seats available. Plus, I still have a number of classes from RCTC to complete. Like I said. This is all at the last minute. To make matters worse, the college will be closed from December 24 until January 5. If there is anything I need to do, I will have to do it on January 6 while the semester begins on January 12.
This is crunch time and I'm really feeling the crunch. Either way, I will have a busy semester. College is fun.
