<p>10 years ago, I dropped out of UCLA because of a medical condition. Now I want to go back and finish my degree in an entirely different major. I can't go back to UCLA because I now have a family and I can't move out of the sf bay area. UC Davis and Cal are my choices. What do you think are my chances even if I have accumulated 190 units with CC and UCLA combined? I am currently doing prerequisites for sociology at CC.</p>
<p>3.5 GPA - even though had 5 F's my junior year </p>
<p>Major changed from Music to Sociology </p>
<p>Did graduate level research my soph year abroad in West Africa and Cuba. Mentored by the foremost ethnmusicologist in African music.</p>
<p>Worked for UC Berkeley for 6 years to help raise millions of dollars for undergraduate education, I was an active participant at the UC Berkeley fundraising council </p>
<p>Member of CASE - (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) - attended many conferences and did a presentation on direct response marketing models for state funded universities </p>
<p>Currently finishing up sociological research paper (for honors class) on the modern day Protestant family in Northern Ireland. Just came back from living in Belfast for a year</p>
<p>Goals: Obtain a BA in sociology in hopes to pursue an MBA to start a nonprofit or become an Executive Director for an npo.</p>
<p>I guess I'm screwed then. They have their millions of dollars and my application gets thrown in the bin. They don't even take into consideration other factors?</p>
<p>well in the link i gave you it said the deans at davis review applications with more than 80 units. Try getting in touch of the dean of letters and sciences and explain your situation.</p>
<p>for UCs, 80 units is the limit. they don't like anything beyond that because they want you to complete the upper div's at their school. I'm at my last year at Pierce, and by the end of the spring semester I will have 74 units.</p>
<p>We're talking about combined units from a 4 year + CCC units. For Berkeley and LA if you completed fewer than 80 at a 4 year and then transferred to a CCC then you wouldn't hit a unit cap if you were applying to L&S.</p>
<p>From what I gather, as long as you have not completed upper division units and if the rest of your units are lower division or from community college, then there is no limit. You might even have a better chance if you retake the classes in which you received an F in. Also, it looks as if you have done an extreme amount of work for the UC and you should at the very least make this obvious in your essays. Your application should be solid with all the work you have done.</p>
<p>It depends on how many units you have completed. The total transferable units will be calculated by:
community college transferable units (max 70 semester) + 4 year transferable units (all units from UC are tranferable
If the number is above 80 semester units, for UC Davis, your application will be reviewed to see if we can admit you.</p>
<p>Another option, in case your unit count is too high and it becomes difficult for other UC campuses to admit you, is to contact UCLA to see if they would let you finish your degree at another UC campus. This is easier if you only have a few courses left to complete. Since this can become complicated I'd recommend you call the admissions office to gather more information if needed.</p>
<p>How many units exactly did you do at UCLA?</p>
