Transfer Students

<p>when i applied i just picked randomly, i got in UCSD to the Roosevelt school but i have no idea what that means, and what makes it different from the others. can someone that knows more about it please explain?</p>

2

<p>the difference is in the different GE requirements...you can read about them by going to the respective school's website</p>

3

<p>You can download gruduation requirement pdf for your college on the 2 nd page of the admission website</p>

4

<p>Revelle
3 courses calculus
science
5 courses
Humanities
5 courses
American Cultures
1 course
Social SCience
2 courses
Fine arts
1 course</p>

<p>omgggg. i'm going to cry. I can't do another calculus course... i barely got a B in calc II and that was over a year ago..</p>

5

<p>one big factor for me not choosing UCSD over UCLA is this stupid GE requirement....when I picked schools in the app I picked Muir as my first choice...now I learn that I have to take foreign language and TWO more writing courses....screw that</p>

6

<p>wow....I'm going to look at Marshall's ge requirement...
hope that I won't have to take that much GE...</p>

7

<p>for some reason when i looked this morning i thought it said roosevelt, but now, looking again, i got accepted to Muir. the requirments says: </p>

<p>ONE YEAR-LONG sequence in the Social Sciences
ONE YEAR-LONG sequence in Math (calculus) or the Natural Sciences
TWO YEAR-LONG sequences selected from two of the following three areas: Fine Arts, Humanities, or
Foreign Languages
TWO analytical Writing Courses. </p>

<p>does this mean i have to take all these classes plus my major classes? or is this not counting anything i've already taken</p>

8

<p>pray to god that your CC classes cover most of those...but you have to take the extra two writing courses at Muir...no getting around that</p>

9

<p>when will i know which classes cover what?</p>

11

<p>I go to UCSD..</p>

<p>I would rate the colleges in the following order of difficulty and number of GE's(from most difficult to easiest):</p>

<ol>
<li>Revelle</li>
<li>Eleanor Roosevelt</li>
<li>Thurgood Marshall
4 Sixth !
John Muir
Warren</li>
</ol>

12

<p>oh god... why is revelle the hardest?</p>

<p>also, can i switch colleges? my major isn't based on any sciences yet i have to take 5 science classes...</p>

13

<p>I just got accepted to Roosevelt today..I put down Warren as my first choice, but they gave me Roosevelt..God WHY!! now i have tons of GE requirements</p>

14

<p>OWNED by UCSD</p>

15

<p>well i'm glad to see mine close to the end of that list, but i'm still not sure what this means. i'm going to have to have someone tell me exactly what classes i will have to take, and how long it will take me before i decide to go there.</p>

16

<p>what does the "cc" icon mean on the bottom left corner ?</p>

17

<p>Muir transfers need 2 courses on top of IGETC.</p>

<p>One upper-division writing course and one course in the diversity of the US.</p>

<p>This is for incomming freshman...

<p>"Completion of the Intersegmental General-Education Transfer Curriculum fulfills most of the academic requirements for Muir College. Once at Muir, IGETC students must complete Muir College Writing 50 or 125, one course in the diversity of U.S. culture, and eighteen upper-division courses."</p>

<p>As far as switching colleges goes, it's possible, but you need someone to switch with.</p>

<p>so which college has the least GE requirements?! all our CC credits only count toward the lower division ge right?! so how many years it usually takes for transfer students to graduate?</p>

20

<p>Warren by far. You need to take 2 upper-division courses that are not related to your major.</p>

<p>"Two non-contiguous (unrelated to your major) upper-division courses are required. These courses must be taken at UCSD, must be 4.0 units each, and must be upper-division (courses numbered as 100 or above). They may be taken on a Pass/No Pass basis, and may be contiguous to each other."</p>

<p>You also need to take a course in US history if you didn't take that at your CC.</p>
