<p>So i wanna complete all the transfer requirements (90 units) all major-specific requirements in one year and this is the schedule i came up with. This is for transfer to UCLA for electrical engineering. Is this possible? i know its insane but is it possible. feedback please.</p>
<p>Summer 08
Math 1A -5 units
Chem 1A -5 units
Physics 4A -6 units
Comp Sci -5 units
Total: 21 units</p>
<p>Fall 08
Math 1B -5 units
Math 2B-5 units
Chem 1B -5 units
Physics 4B -6 units
English 1A-5 units
Total: 26 units</p>
<p>Winter 08
Math 1C -5 units
Chem 1C -5 units
English 1B -5 units
Enginr 37 5 units
Enginr 37L 2 units
Total: 22 units</p>
<p>Spring
Math 1D -5 units
Physics 4C -6 units
Math 2A -5 units
Any class-5 units
Total: 21 units</p>
<p>i'm in the same boat i've been taking 1-2 math classes, a physics and chem every quarter last year to finish all the prereq's this year for engineering and it actually has gone well... I quit my job before taking all of them though so school was my only priority.</p>
<p>that would be really difficult, unless you're a really good in class learner, because science and math courses are typically long hours, which give you less time to study at home</p>
<p>It may be possible if you work your god-forskaen ass off, but I recommend spreading all of this out and adding a little more in two years. If you are ABSOLUTELY sure of your limits and you know what you are getting yourself into, go for it. </p>
<p>BTW, why do you want to get all this done in one year?</p>
<p>I believe such a schedule is possible, but you want to consider what kind of commitment this is. For one, I would not suggest working and part, if not most of your social life will suffer due to the workload of the science/math courses (it may not even be that the material is difficult for you but these courses demand a lot of time). Second, from personal experience, I highly suggest you spread out your schedule giving yourself extended breaks between classes. More importantly, there is always the possibility that one of the classes in your planned schedule overlaps which further complicates things. With that said, I don't recommend trying to transfer, especially as someone who needs a physics and math series, in one year. You gain no advantage trying to cram these courses into a one year span and it may end up being detrimental. Admissions looks heavily on two things: GPA and the completion of major prep. I would honestly take two years to finish, lighten the load, work part time and save money, and finish with the highest GPA possible.</p>
<p>Finishing engineering pre-reqs within two years at a CC is impressive as it is...but one year? </p>
<p>TBH, I think by the time you go through such a meat grinder, your GPA will be owned and therefore your chances of getting into UCLA as an EE major will be shot.</p>
<p>And don't forget, UC applications are due at the end of November. Even if you could handle a summer like that (I'm with Ektaylor and think it's impossible), then you'll only have 21 quarter units to be evaluated on against everyone else who has a lot, lot more.</p>
<p>I admire the ambition of those that are eager to get the ball rolling and finish in one year, but you should really do yourself a favor and slow down. Good luck!</p>
<p>Why is it that everyone immediately tries to do it (the more absurd the prereqs, the better) in one year? There is no way you can do 21 units over summer. ESPECIALLY not with what I assume is Calc 1, Chem 1, Physics 1 and some sort of general computer science.</p>
<p>This must be a joke...Have you even seen if it's logistically doable? Even if you are able to add all of those classes (some may overlap and you still need permission from a counselor to go over the quarterly unit cap), how many hours will you be at school, and will you have enough time for homework/study?</p>
<p>However, after the warnings you've gotten, let me tell you that it's possible. There's even a guy here, Hongda, who, was taking 25 sem units (=39 qtr units) his last semester. There's also AP Frank, who took 17 AP classes during high school...</p>
<p>alansda, he took 25 units during a regular semester though, not during summer. The "normal" courseload for summer/winter is usually about 8-10 units, because summer/winter is much shorter.</p>
<p>In my last semesters I was taking 20 and 25 units too (with all engineering/science) and I was still working part-time and had some time left for other things. For spring and fall your schedule is definitely possible and doable. But your summer and winter schedules, no, I don't think they're doable. Unless:
- Your school operates on something else than a regular semester system
- You're happy with something less than 3.0
- You already know all the material</p>
<p>I think Alansda made a good point about the scheduling. The odds of finding a schedule that has all those classes (let's forget about the chances of a schedule that doesn't suck) are just about zero.</p>
