<p>Jason, I’m an English major and two of mine are actually in Spring, so you should be fine.</p>
<p>Oh, and thanks, Luckie!</p>
<p>Jason, are they two classes for your major, or the two English classes you need to transfer?</p>
<p>I know at least UCSB has a very strict English/Math by end of Fall prior to transfer. Are you planning to apply to SB?</p>
<p>@jason861101 Yes, they can be completed by spring, but they urge you to complete as soon as possible. Winter should be OK, although if you could do one in fall it would be better.</p>
<p>RE UCSB, the matrix says you have until spring for both math and English but we already know they will reject you if there is no math showing by fall, so that is false advertising. Thus, I would agree with @luckie1367 if any UC is going to play hardball, it will be UCSB.</p>
<p>The general rule of thumb with the math and english req is to try and get them done by fall for all the UCs. However, winter is prob OK ( @cayton ?).</p>
<p>@jason861101 </p>
<p>UCLA considers Winter grades too, so as long as you complete the necessary English classes by the end of Winter 2015, I think you’ll be alright.</p>
<p>UCLA is fine with it all being complete by the end of Spring. I seem to have to defend this all the time in here for some reason. I have verified it with two counselors at UCLA. I’m an English major and taking 3 English classes spread in Winter and Spring (2 major prereqs, 1 IGETC). Winter is irrelevant at UCLA, it’s all about what is done by the end of Spring, when related to Letters and Science majors. </p>
<p>If it’s an IGETC English class, you have to take 101 prior to Spring, because you still have to take the other English class second, but 101 is a pre-req to take it. So 101 in Winter and 103 in Spring is fine.</p>
<p>@jason861101 the English requirement for general admission is strongly suggested to be completed by fall. English major requirements are not to be confused with English/math admission requirements. I quickly grabbed a UC Davis page that notes the recommendation to complete English by fall. As Cayton said winter is also OK because they will see the grades by the time they are looking at your app. That is the key. They really want to see a grade. </p>
<p>I urge you not to put your acceptance in jeopardy by risking a spring completion of the general English requirement. While it may end up OK, it also may not. </p>
<p>Hope the attached page helps, as it applies essentially to all the UCs. </p>

<p>I thought it was referring to UCLA, my bad. No idea what Davis is all about, so lindy is most likely correct.</p>
<p>I was using UCD as an example. As I noted in the last line, the best practices recommendation refers to all UCs. </p>
<p>Well I’m speaking for UCLA admissions. That info is for UCD, not all UCs. They are all slightly different in their requirements and the OP should call the campus in question he’s interested in to verify with the transfer counselor, and counselor for the department he wishes to transfer to. That’s what I did. They were both VERY clear that it had absolutely zero effect on my admission. As long as IGETC and major prereqs (most of them) are completed by end of Spring, that’s all that matters. Not Fall, not Winter, just the end of Spring. I can only speak for UCLA.</p>
<p>FWIW, I will not have Math, or English IGETC completed until the end of Winter and the end of Spring respectively. Both the UCLA transfer counselor and my CC counselor have signed off on me being TAP. I joined it today in fact. This would contradict the info in that link. Right? </p>
<p>Just sayin’. Not everything is black and white.</p>
<p>Delete - posted in wrong thread… </p>
<p>Does anyone know if the UCLA open house on September 20th is worth going to? </p>
<p>hmm alright thank you guys~!</p>
<p>fullload, I am sorry if you feel like you have to repeat yourself. I just wanted Jason to know the policies for all schools. I know this is a UCLA thread, but it would suck to get screwed over at one school because no one mentioned SB’s policy.</p>
<p>@sagemedow , I think its always a good time to go to the UCLA campus so you are asking the wrong person 
If you are in the area and can pay for parking, why not? But I wouldn’t make a special trip if I didn’t live in the area.</p>
<p>These threads are full of repetition. If anyone gets tired of repeating themselves they should just refrain from doing so. I think most people who’ve been on the site for a while have likely answered the same question 25 times in 25 different ways. We’re all here to help one another. None of us have all the answers so it’s great that we can all collaborate from our different experiences.</p>
<p>I live in Orange County, so about an hour away from UCLA. Plus I have a physics midterm that week so I don’t know if I should forgo studying to visit my dream school 
</p>
<p>I’d say its not worth it, I wouldn’t jeopardize my grade.</p>
<p>@sagemeadow, if you’re only an hour away, plan a trip on a random Saturday. You’ll still get a good feel. It’s an incredible campus, if I do say so myself.</p>
<p>I am hoping to transfer to UCLA from a CCC in Fall, 2015. I’ve begun my application online. This is my current situation. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks and good luck all!!!</p>
<p>Major: Psychology
IGETC: Completed.<br>
Prerequisites: Psych Prerequisites Completed.
GPA: 4.0 after 40 hours
Scholars Program: No
EC: None</p>
<p>I probably should beef up my extracurricular activities. Any other advice? </p>

<p>Definitely try to get involved in your school’s psych club, if they have it, or something. UCLA will become more holistic in its admissions process for Fall 2015 applicants. Of course, if you have no ECs because you were working and/or had other responsibilities, you can just list the job you had/have and/or your other responsibilities on your application.</p>
<p>Grades are perfect and you have completed pre-reqs, so that helps a lot.</p>
