<p>I'm planning to transfer to UCLA in the fall of 2011 which unfortunately, I will be a junior by then (I would have already completed 3 years of college, since I'm class of 2012). </p>
<p>I currently have 50 credits, but after the end of my junior year, I will have 90 credits...is that too much over the 60?
Will applying with the intend of a double major reflect that the reason I have too much credit is because I have a lot more classes to take? </p>
<p>I love my current college (Smith) but still would like to transfer to to UCLA due to some very personal circumstances. I'm planning to do 2 years at UCLA, therefore, I would have 5 years of undergrad, and financial aid is not an issue since I have a great scholarship that follows me wherever I transfer. The question is--will I have too much credits to transfer? I don't mind forfeiting credits--do I still have the chances/requirements to apply to UCLA as a transfer-level even though I have already been a junior? And if it helps, I would transfer to the Film/TV department.</p>
<p>I have a 3.2 but many great leaderships and extracurriculars. I don't think UCLA take teacher recommendations, but if they do, I would have a stellar recommendation. </p>
<p>Also coming from a liberal art, I have no requirements, so I was wondering if you can tell me what the general ed requirements for UCLA. Beside from UCLA, what UC has the least Gen Ed? </p>
<p>There are specifics to how many units you can have completed if you are coming directly from another 4 year school. and I think the limit is in the 80s for UCLA. However you can have as many you want from a community college in addition to the 4 year.</p>
<p>I had gone to a private university and dropped out half way through my junior year. I was barely under the 86 units from the 4 year school so I was lucky. I attended community college after I dropped out from the 4 year and got about 60 units there. I wasn’t considered a transfer from the 4 year school because the last school I was atttending was community college. I had to do community college because my general education at the former school didn’t count much to put me at junior standing(i was coming from an art school).
Look at the transfer Q&A #5 in the following website. [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/answers/applying.html#5]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/answers/applying.html#5)
Santa Barbara rejected me because I think their unit maximum from a private was less than UCLAs.</p>
<p>But to answer your question specifically, you can’t have more than 86 units completed at a 4 year. If you do 90, you won’t qualify for admissions. Lastly the acceptance rate for UCLA for Film/TV is EXTREMELY LOW. Your GPA is not high enough. You again can find the information per major/department and acceptance rate based on GPA on ucla’s website.</p>
<p>Your best bet is too look at Private schools like NYU USC or what have you, but even then, they generally don’t accept students from other 4 year schools who have completed their junior year.</p>
<p>Thanks Liek0806!
I’m wondering, if I do apply to UCLA, maybe I don’t have to apply specific to the Film and TV? Maybe I can just do the general college? </p>
<p>I think I will have exactly 84 credits…if I take the most minimum classes that I can by the end of my junior year (12 credits a semester) because right now as a second semester sophomore, I have 48.</p>
<p>USC is another option for you. I am not sure about the unit cap…but yeah… check it out.</p>
<p>Why would you want to leave Smith??? I would love to go there. I know you have personal reasons but that school is AWESOME. Stick it out at Smith! I am jealous of you forrrr surrreeeeeee…</p>
