<p>Unit counts don’t matter for the UCs, you can take as much time as you want at a UC, or take as many classes, as long as those units are at community colleges.</p>
<p>Privates do on the other hand have unit limits for admissions even if they’re done at a community college, you just have to check each school on a case by case basis. Also I hope you’re also aware that privates (like the one’s you’ve listed) take into consideration more than just grades/gpa, they look into high school stats as well, and ECs</p>
<p>I’m not sure what source accmajor has as information, but it sounds kind of off. I think there was a student from the fall 2008 transfer pool, who got into schools like Stanford/Amherst/etc from a community college. Look back at old threads and you should find their posts. Stanford’s acceptance rate for transfers is so low, even lower than freshman admissions, that I think the real issue is with the number of very qualified applicants who probably shine out community college students in transfer admissions. A 4.0 from community college doesn’t look as good as 3.8 from a peer school of Stanfords.</p>
