Credits in progress: 22. I am unsure if this is relevant, but I know that some UCs like UC Santa Cruz take into account the course load. I took 20 credits last semester and received a 4.0, so I'm hoping that this isn't a life or death situation in regards to my application.</p>
<p>Notes: I am in the process of completing my math and foreign language requirement this semester before transfer. Anyone know whether this is a huge factor in regards to admission decisions?</p>
<p>Essays: Excellent, in my not-so-modest opinion. I know how to write and have had some really profound experiences that I felt were pertinent to the Common App and UC transfer essays.</p>
