Community College 2 or 3 years?

<p>Hello members,
I just had a short story to share and maybe you're in the same situation as me, so I am looking for some guidance. I am planning to transfer to UCBerekeley as a Computer Engineering/Science major, but I will be only be able to complete calculus one, before I transfer. I could take calculus 2 in the summer but it won't change my application. For the assist.org agreement UCBerekeley recommends finishing all the way to Calculus 4 for Computer Engineering. (No other courses articulated) but I am still taking computer classes to be competitive. My problem is that I can't put all my eggs in one basket, so I want to also apply for UCLA but they REQUIRE instead of recommend. Does that mean I have no chance of getting into UCLA because they Require a lot of classes to finish at a community college, which will take me an extra one to two years.
My current resume is:
GPA: 3.8
President of Scholars Honors' Program
Secretary of Economics Club
Member of Applied Science and Engineering Club
Phi Kappa Thetha Official Member
School Senate
EC: Volunteering once a week for 3 hours consistently
Taking online classes to education myself such as UDACITY.com/Standfordonline.com</p>

<p>I am just lost and confused, I really don't want to stay one more year because I want to have the experience of dorming with others and other activities.
Hopefully you guys can help</p>

<p>UCLA(especially UCLA) and Berkeley are pretty strict with prerequisites. Just apply and If you don’t get accepted, finish the prerequisites and apply next year. Most CC students stay more than 2 years. Even transfer students can stay at dorms with other transfer students. So it’s not a total loss I guess.</p>

<p>What’s important is that you understand the material you’re going over so you can prepare for a transfer. That’s why I’m planning to wait until I get Calculus 4 finished to transfer to UT Austin for Aerospace Engineer (although it’s only recommended, not required).</p>
