1-year transfer - What to put on application??

[transferstu01]

Hi,
I’m planning on doing an intercampus transfer from UCSC to (preferably) UCSD. I have 40 quarter units from prior AP exams, and I’m a humanities major so completing major prereqs is not a problem. I’m just confused as to what I should put on my self-reported grades for the application. Will all my grades be marked as “in progress”? Will I be put at a disadvantage compared to other transfers who have actual grades?

(For those who are trying to discourage this pathway, I’m aware of CC priority. I should also mention that I’m coming into UCSC with a very open mind, and I genuinely like the ambiance there when I went for orientation. At the end of the year if I feel like something is missing, then I’ll have some options.)

Thank you!

I don’t know that answer, but on a side note want to make sure you’re aware of a special benefit of having so much AP credit. According to UC

Units granted for AP tests are not counted toward the maximum number of credits required for formal declaration of a major or the maximum number of units a student may accumulate prior to graduation. Students who enter UC with AP credit do not have to declare a major earlier than other students, nor are they required to graduate earlier.

So whether you stay at UCSC or transfer, you have the choice of spending 4 years at UC or using the AP credit and finishing in 3.

Thanks so much for this info, @mikemac! The link was extremely helpful in answering a different question I was misinformed about and saved me a lot of time. And yes, finishing in 3 years is my plan!
