Do i have too many CC hours?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi! I am 22 and I go to CC in St.louis, MO
After this semester I will have about 80 credits.(92 actually but 12 is ESL courses) I might move to california this summer and I have to make a decision between SFSU and Peralta district CC. (meritt vista laney) If i go to Peralta for a year and get good gpa, will i have any chance to get into UCs? I will have more than 100 credits...I am afraid I will get rejected because of that..Is it ok to retake some courses and boost up my GPA to avoid having too many credits? thanks</p>

<p>If ALL the UNITS COME FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGEs, then you are still eligible to transfer even if you have more than 90 semester units. However, if you already take courses in a university and with 90 semester units or more, you are not eligible to transfer into UCs.</p>

<p>I have over 100 semester-unit after summer 06! But I still get in all the UC's I applied.</p>

<p>but i have an important question, are u a cali resident?</p>

<p>no im not a cal resident yet. i will be a resident after a year. so i think i should go to CC since its much cheaper. is it bad if you retake courses and get better grade?</p>

<p>Were you the one who had so many units with a trouble in a bio class and many Ds and Cs but you repeated them and got better grades?</p>

<p>yes, but you can't retake course with a C in CC. You can only retake it in UC.</p>
