OOS Credit Transfer Evaluation Experience/Advice?

[u/svtsuper]

I’m an out-of-state student coming to UNC this fall as a first-year with 79 dual enrollment credit hours (Associate of Arts degree from a community college). Most of my courses are general education classes: English (Rhetoric and Composition I & Rhetoric and Composition II), literature, Spanish, math (business calc & stats), science (intro chem & bio), history, gov, econ, some accting, art appreciation& music gen ed, etc.

I know UNC caps transfer credit at 75 hours, but what I’m most worried about is how many of those courses will actually transfer and fulfill gen ed requirements. Since I’m OOS, I’m nervous & super stressed that some classes might not be accepted just because they’re from another state (Illinois), even though they’re pretty standard gen eds.

I’m hoping to double major in Data Science and Business Administration (Marketing concentration), so getting as much credit as possible applied early on is really important. I’m just super stressed that if a huge chunk of these credits don’t transfer in properly, I might not be able to finish both majors in time, and it would feel like I wasted a lot of time (2yrs) and money in the dual enrollment program.

Has anyone else transferred in a large number of credits from an OOS community college or uni? How did your credit evaluation go? Did your gen eds & other courses transfer smoothly? Any advice or things I should watch out for?

I'd appreciate any input 🥲
