<p>...Particularly from UCLA. Anyone ever heard of this being done?</p>
<p>Area of study is Psychology. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Do you have a prescription for Provigil?</p>
<p>hmm let’s see…</p>
<p>Assuming you will have 90 quarter units completed at CC.</p>
<p>You will need the additional 90 quarter units in order to graduate from UCLA.</p>
<p>A typical course at UCLA is 4 units, and people talk 3, 4 classes per quarter. Assuming you take 4 classes each quarter, that leaves you with 16 quarter units completed each quarter. (You can’t take more than 18 units each quarter if you are a L&S major). With 3 quarters, you have 48 units. If you take both summer sessions (assuming 2 classes each session), you will have complete (4*4) 16 units completed during the Summer before you even start the Fall quarter. </p>
<p>By the end of Spring quarter, you will have (16 * 4) 64 units complete. That’s still 26 units short of graduating. Even if you max out units each quarter (meaning you take 18 units each quarter), that will still leave you with 72 units by the end of Spring, and still 18 units short of graduation. </p>
<p>If you have AP credits from HS, it will carry over to add on to the unit so that will definitely help.
If you maxed out the carry-over unit from CC (meaning you have 105 units completed at CC), then that’ll leave you with 70 or 80 something units complete by Spring. By that point, you will only need to complete between 3 to 12 units more (how many ever until you reach 90) during your second Summer sessions (the summer before your Senior year), which is totally doable. You will need to fill out a special petition at the administration building during the Spring so you can be considered as class of 2010 even if you can’t fulfill all the units until Summer. </p>
<p>So yeah, it’s possible. But what’s the hurry?</p>
<p>You do all the work to get in, and you want out so quick? I understand some people want to graduate quickly for whatever reason, but personally I think you should stay longer and take advantage of what UCLA has to offer. Get an intern, join some clubs if you want, and enjoy your time at the university. </p>
<p>You can graduate with a relatively lower GPA in 1 year, and look back with disappointment that you went to UCLA just for a diploma.
or
You can graduate with valuable work experience through an intern (and possibly a job right out of college) and a relatively higher GPA in 1.5-2.5 years depending on courses per quarter and if you take advantage of summer sessions.</p>
<p>you can if you take summer courses, but why the rush?</p>
<p>I will probaby get a negative response for saying this, but I feel too old to be an undergrad. </p>
<p>I just turned 21. I’m hard on myself, I know.</p>
<p>Isn’t the average senior 22?</p>
<p>Yes but I feel bad for not going straight to college after high school. I decided to get a job and I regret it now. I just want my BA ASAP.</p>
<p>21 Junior may seem old, but once you hit your senior year, you will realize that many many people are around your age. Not everyone graduate in two years. close to 40% of seniors stay extra year or two before getting their B.A. And especially in economy like this, no one wants to get out of school with the risk of earning the “Unemployed” title.</p>
<p>Don’t be dumb and irrational. Go full time and focus on doing well. I would hate to read a post 3 months from now of “OMG I TRIED TO TAKE 22 UNITS AND I FAILED 3 CLASSES CAUSE IT WAS TOO HARD!!! WHAT NOW?!?!”</p>
