<p>Hey RS20 sorry for the late reply, ive been flooded with exams lately. As long as you are done with the Bio and Chem you should be fine. Like I said before, the requirements for Bio is 1 year of general chem and lab. An alternative major that is similar to Bio is Public Health. It shares many of the same prerequisites and requirements as Bio. </p>
<p>I had extracurriculars on my applications but I wouldn't say I have that much. I joined several clubs, (wasnt very active) but did go to various service events which I included on the application. </p>
<p>I strongly recommend that you take your plan to the UCI counselors, I wasn't to familiar with the admissions counselor, (communication was all email) but counselors at BioSci are very friendly and helpful. You should definitely talk with a counselors whenever you get a chance. What you read on these forums may be helpful, but it doesnt beat the counselor's opinion. </p>
<p>It's definitely possible to finish your honors/TAP requirements within a year at Mt. Sac.</p>
<p>You need 6 honors courses to qualify for TAP. I'm barely applying to honors right now and about to start summer semester before my 2nd year at CC. I plan on transferring to a UC by Fall '09 as well.</p>
<p>I have a friend who is transferring to Mt. Sac from CPP this summer in order to transfer to a UC. Also, another friend of mine was recently admitted to UCLA and finished his honors/TAP req. within a year.</p>
<p>I see. Since my finals are going to be done tommrow, I think I might go to UCI this Friday and talk to a counselor. I am in the premed club at my cc, but with so much work from my classes it gets hard to attend the meetings. I think I'll do some volunteer work before I apply. Thanks alot.</p>
<p>woahitspi: It is best to keep units under one system. Since UC Davis is a quarter school I'm used to the quarter system. It seems like you have 90 quarter units completed, the minimum required for admission. It would be recommended you complete all required courses for admissions within the next 30 quarter (20 semester) units.</p>
<p>What happens if you go over the limit. At UC Davis the Deans office must approve your application with the number of units you have completed.</p>
<p>UCD Admissions:
After this quarter, I will be finishing with 40 quarter units. I am a first year student.</p>
<p>However, with much thought and consideration, I think I will attend a community college and be in honors program/TAP to hopefully enter UC's for Fall 2009.</p>
<p>^ Also, to apply for Fall 2009, we must submit applications by this november.. in order to do that, we must list our courses.. since I have not officially gone to a community college yet, will this mean that all the classes I will be taking is written down on the application as "planned" ??</p>
<p>(on another note, how competitive is psychology?)</p>
<p>^ Correct, all courses will be listed as either "In Progress" or "Planned." As a transfer student you will file an application update in January to update the UC system on your fall grades and the Spring courses that are now "In Progress" in case they have changed from what was planned in the fall.</p>
<p>UCD Admissions: Thank you so much! That clears up all the questions I have ..for now =)</p>
<p>on an unrelated note..
mluu921: Did you take CHM123/L [GenChem]? I'm having a hard time with this class. Just wondering your thoughts on this class.</p>
<p>Hi UCD Admissions sorry i have another question. If i want to transfer from a UC to UC and i want to take city college classes in the summer. Can i use those city college classes grades to raise my GPA or it won't count? THanks!!</p>
<p>Assuming the courses are UC Transferable he units and grades will count to raise your GPA but, as mentioned previously in above posts try not to complete more than 120 quarter units (for UC Davis) since you have completed units at a 4 year university.</p>
