<p>i know 60 is the minimum..and 70 is the max or 80 (or something like that)</p>
<p>but is the a limit on how many units you can complete? i know they have a maximum number of units for accepting..but do they have a maximum for number of units you can complete?</p>
<p>and is it normal or common for someone to be rejected from their 'dream UC' and then stay another year in order to improve their chances?</p>
<p>or is that kinda obsessive?</p>
<p>i know the best way to attract replies</p>

<p>anyways I was also thinking about staying another year at my CC to try and improve my chances of getting into Cal or UCLA, but I really couldnt stand another year of community college life. Im more than ready to experience real college. Besides, going to a different UC like Santa Barbara or Davis is still a great option, although its no Cal or LA :/</p>

<p>Nope, there is no limit exclusively for community college students only. That's one advantage of attending cc. You can take as many courses you want to take for any reason (whether you want to improve your grade or you simply want to gain more knowledge on some field), and there will be absolutely no penalty for that. I mean, I've already completed 54 units, and by the end of Spring '07, I plan on completing at least 95 SEMESTER units (which is about 142 Quarter Units). </p>

<p>That actually is my back-up BACK-UP plan, incase I get rejected to my safety school ;) But that won't happen, hopefully.]</p>

<p>thanks guys (just the answer i was looking for dhl)</p>
<p>and to bobbak:</p>
<p>and i def feel you on the berkeley thing lol irooniem dige...</p>
<p>i love california- dont worry staying an extra year is actually my back-up plan too for the ucs even though i will have about 70 semester units at the end of spring..i've actually heard of a lot of people doing it. its not exactly my favorite idea in the world, but i think its worth it in order to go to a dream school. i dont know for sure, but i think it shows dedication that you were willing to take another year to try to raise gpa/gain more knowledge in major preparation. however, for private schools and other public schools besides ucs it can definitely be a disadvantage so i would only take that route if your sure you want to go a uc. good luck!</p>
<p>The backup plan should be to appeal and not to stay an extra year.</p>
<p>i really don't see why u would stay another year after being rejected to the "dream UC." just think for a moment about the big picture. do u really think admission is the tough part of ur educational career? after admission u have worry about graduating in time (and the uc's sometimes refuse graduation to those who have too much units), then u have to worry about grad schools. if u were thinking of the big picture, then u'd want to transfer as quickly as u can. that's why i am going to transfer in one year, not two. but of course, if u have reasons for work or something, than staying another year might be more advantageous. but, don't put this into ur habit for once u transfer staying another year means a major drainage to ur financial asset.
maybe i am completely wrong about this. do uc's count all three or more years of cc work? if they do, it means that u will probably have too much units which means that NO granduation at any of the uc's (yes, uc's are weird like that).</p>

<p>umm dude you are forgetting something but no matter how many units you have completed at community college, UC will only accept 70 units, so there is NO problem of over-credit issue.</p>
<p>For example, i think UC requires like 120 units for student to graduate? I'm not sure on this part, but anyway. Let's say at cc, you transfer with 100 units completed. Does this mean that if you have 20 units complete at UC, you are eligible to graduate? Nope, because even if you completed 100 units at cc, only 70 of those will count toward the graduation fullfillment credit, so you'll have to complete the remaining 50 units at UC.</p>
<p>So it doesn't really matter how many units you complete at cc as long as you have at least 60 units complete.</p>
<p>i guess its true that its a bad judgement call..but if you get rejected from your absolute dream school..and you can't see yourself anywhere else...then a year wouldn't hurt if you dont even find cc to be painful...</p>
<p>i kinda like cc, so i dont think i'd mind but overall that guy (sry forgot name) is right about it being a bad idea in terms of the big picture</p>
