<p>Hi!</p>
<p>im trying to transfer this year and as most of you may know, you need to take 2 english classes in order to transfer. would taking the 2nd english class in the spring looked at any different than if i look it in the fall?</p>
<p>It’s frowned upon by UCSB.</p>
<p>My daughter took BOTH her English requirements in the spring, after applications were submitted. She was admitted to UCB, UCSD and UCSB.</p>
<p>She wasn’t a TAG or IGETC, and in fact was coming from a four year, not a California CC.</p>
<p>There are a lot of people who say things like “you should transfer to a CC first, then a UC since CC students have priority”. Or they say things like “you have to have both your English classes done in the fall.”</p>
<p>Not necessarily true.</p>
<p>Do it when it fits in your schedule. I took the second (third?) half of mine during Winter (grades not on the app update), and still got in everywhere I applied (UCB, UCSD, UCI, UCSC)… I don’t think it makes a huge difference. If they do care about your grade in it, they can always throw it in with the conditions of acceptance.</p>
<p>aah such a relief reading these…just like OP, I still have to take Critical Thinking…left it for spring
I also talked to a counselor today and she said it’s cool, u just have to mention in you app that you are going to take it for spring</p>
