Do I fulfill IGETC Requirements? With my AP exams?

<p>I've passed 5 AP Exams</p>

<p>AP European History 4
AP English Language and Composition 4
AP Human Geography 5
AP US History 4
AP Art History 3</p>

<p>~~~~~~
This May I'm going to take:</p>

<p>AP Microeconomics
AP Macroeconomics
AP English Literature and Composition
AP 2D Design
AP Japanese </p>

<p>and possibly</p>

<p>AP US Government and Politics
AP Comparative Government & Politics</p>

<p><em>I know it sounds cocky but I KNOW I can past the first 5</em>
--------------------------------------…</p>

<p>II'll have to take a math and an english course at a JC to finish my units. But do you think I can transfer by the end of the Summer? I want to transfer to UCLA and go into their Business Economics program (I know it's impacted). </p>

<p>I totally screwed up my Fall semester of Senior year with 3 Cs... 2.8 GPA UW</p>

<p>Advice? Comments?</p>

<p>UC’s only accept Fall transfers unfortunately. Go to your local CC’s website and see if the AP exams satisfy the IGETC.</p>

<p>even if it satisfies IGETC, you still would have to take some units to fulfill a) 60 unit requirement and b) major requirements</p>

<p>edit: oh yeah you need science classes for IGETC</p>

<p>okay.</p>

<p>Do you think I’ll be able to transfer by next year?
I know for the prerequisites I need 2 classes of calculus, 2 classes of accounting, and a critical reading thing (which I’m hoping my AP credit will cover).</p>

<p>All I need is my IGETC fufilled so I’m thinking one class of bio. </p>

<p>~_~ that means I’ll be skipping a year of my undergrad though…</p>

<p>Do you think if I get straight As this next semester I won’t get rescinded? My dad lost his job, and my mom makes less than 30k by herself. I go to private school and that was affecting my studies maybe~~~?</p>

<p>Among other things… What do you think?</p>

<p>difficult to say. Let’s say you would go to summer school. First you need to get placed into calculus. So for summer you would take calc1 if placed and acct. for fall, calc2 and acct2 for sure and maybe a science class and an elective. for spring 2012 another science class for igetc and electives for 60units. just a suggestion</p>

<p>and I do not think AP can fulfill critical thinking, so you need another engl course.</p>

<p>It’s very possible, depending on which classes are required for your major and how well you do in them (if you get w’s or fail them, it’s unlikely to transfer in a year).
Ok, regarding your IGETC question… </p>

<p>For De Anza, the IGETC and your fulfilled areas (assuming you pass English Lit and Japanese (the other AP tests just give you unit credit…)) looks like this:</p>

<p>Area 1A: English Composition - fulfilled with AP English Language and Composition 4</p>

<p>Area 1B: Critical Thinking - CANNOT BE FULFILLED BY ANY AP SCORE</p>

<p>(No Area 1C for UCs, but for CSUs, its an Oral composition course that also can’t be fulfilled with an AP score)</p>

<p>Area 2: Mathematical Concepts and Quantitative Reasoning - not fulfilled</p>

<p>Area 3 (three courses, at least one from the Arts and one from Humanities)
Arts: - fulfilled AP Art History 3
Humanities: - fulfilled with AP English Literature and Composition
- fulfilled with AP Japanese</p>

<p>Area 4: Social and Behavioral Sciences (3 courses from at least two different areas)

  • Area 4F: fulfilled with AP US History 4 (also fulfills American Ideals requirement for CSUs and UC graduation)
  • Area 4F: fulfilled with AP European History 4
  • Area 4E: fulfilled with AP Human Geography 5</p>

<p>Area 5: Physical and Biological Sciences (one of each AND one must include a lab) - not fulfilled</p>

<p>Area 6: Language other than English - AP Japanese (can count in this area and as a humanities course)</p>

<p>So, for IGETC, you’d still need a Critical Thinking course, Math course, Biological Science course and a Physical Science course.
Then, of course you need 60 semester or 90 quarter units…</p>

<p>Your unit credit for these passed exams only is (in semester and quarter units):</p>

<p>AP European History - 5.3 s/ 8 q
AP English Language and Composition - 5.3 s/ 8 q
AP Human Geography - 2.7 s/4 q
AP US History - 5.3 s/ 8 q
AP Art History - 5.3 s/ 8 q</p>

<p>= 23.9 semester units/36 quarter units</p>

<p>If you pass these:</p>

<p>AP Microeconomics - 2.7 s/4 q
AP Macroeconomics - 2.7 s/4 q
AP English Literature and Composition (no more unit credit, max for both English exams is 5.3 s and 8 q units!)
AP 2D Design - 5.3 s/ 8 q
AP Japanese - 5.3 s/ 8 q</p>

<p>= another 16 semester and 24 quarter units, which would make your total 39.9 s units and 60 q units</p>

<p>You’d still need 20.1 semester units/ 30 quarter units, your remaining GE courses and major prep.
This is easily doable in one year!</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Hmm, your high school GPA is low. Since you’re aiming for UCLA as a sophomore you will be held by that GPA.</p>

<p>And btw, your excuse won’t work. Many students, including myself, are in worse positions than you but we managed to pull a much higher GPA in high school.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
