Fall 2013 Transfer UC Admits: have you registered yet?

<p>1) UC Santa Barbara
2) Cultural Anthropology. I may double major, but undecided on that just yet.
3) Intro Bio Anth, Intro Lithic Analysis, Math 34A - Calc for Social Sciences
4) I need to find a place to live, but other than that a 10. Books purchased, UCSB sweats check, yeeeeep.</p>

<p>UCwolv, how much did you spend on books?</p>

<p>I haven’t even bought my books yet.
UCI hasn’t released the course booklists.</p>

<p>@mermaker - like $134? Blew me away how cheap they were
</p>

<p>My bad luck, my community college profs always picked new updated textbooks whenever I registered, so I had to spend A LOT of money on books. </p>

<p>Hopefully, UCI won’t update their textbooks like they did.</p>

<p>I could often get away with buying older (or sometimes international) editions. I did buy the newest edition for calculus, but it paid off since it lasted for 3 classes.</p>

<p>1) UCI :slight_smile:
2) Pharmaceutical Sciences
3) Organic chemistry, genetics, safety and ethics for research, and intro to biological anthropology
4) 10!! I can’t wait! I’m also super annoyed that UCI hasn’t released the list of materials yet
 I just wanna get started already.</p>

<p>@kb4692, did you check if your classes have a website listed on eee? Two of my classes do, and they list the required textbook
 It’s a way to get around this long wait :slight_smile: Or you can also look at the websites for the past quarters, just to have an idea of how the class is going to be.</p>

<p>Hey Wolves, I’m a prospective chemical engineering major (applying this fall) and I would really appreciate your input.</p>

<ol>
<li>How many units are you taking this semester? I feel like the transition will be rough and I heard way too many horror stories.</li>
<li>Any advice?</li>
</ol>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>@SBVett I have looked on EEE, and no luck. But, I’ve already looked at my classes’ past websites the day after I registered. I’ve already even looked over past tests and all. =)</p>

<p>@Blizzjazz1 - I will probably be taking 16 units, but a Chem E major is probably going to be in much more math/science heavy classes than I will be taking for my major. I would base your decision on a number of factors.</p>

<ol>
<li>Transition from semester classes to quarter classes</li>
<li>Number of expected hours you have committed to outside of school</li>
<li>Average number of hours you find that you need to prepare per unit/hour</li>
<li>Composition of your classes </li>
<li>Past experience in similar subjects</li>
</ol>

<p>I would consider all of those factors when scheduling yourself. Take it easy your first year transferring (not too easy), and get a feel for it. Then I think you will have a better feel for how many units to take.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you on your app!</p>

<p>I wouldn’t take more than 12 quarter units in the first semester, though.
12 units just eases the transition.</p>

<p>1) Cal
2) English
3) English 45B, English 121, Gender and Women’s Studies 20, and a TRSP course.
4) 8/10. I took a summer course at Cal and did better than I’d thought, so that helped ease my nerves a bit.</p>

<p>What’s TRSP?</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>Transfer, Re-entry, and Student Parent</p>

<ol>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>Chem</li>
<li>Inorganic chem, biochem, japanese american history</li>
<li>8
 they didn’t post the textbooks yet
</li>
</ol>

<p>Lots of UCLA and Cal admits here.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>Really? No one else registered?</p>

<p>Dude, it happens every year. There are dozens of new people on here a year before UC decisions talking about the UC app, TAGs, the Jan update,etc. But as soon as we hear from the UC during March-April, everyone leaves. And then we get new people for the new cycle of transfer applicants.</p>

<p>1) UCLA
2) History
3) Mgmt 1, Hist 96W, Ancient Egyptian Hist
4) I am about a 8/10 ready to start the quarter!</p>
