<p>Gotta go. Keep it real.</p>
<p>The UCLA transfer website states: "Lastly, we give highest priority to students who are transferring from California community colleges or other University of California campuses."</p>
<p>Not UC over CCC or CCC over UC. There is an additional preference for CCC in that there are programs set up to help CCC transfers gain admissions, also. </p>
<p>Anyway, I'm just offering tempering comments. I didn't mean anything by the credits thing, just thought I'd share what an admissions representative shared with me.</p>
<p>Understood. But I guarantee that someone with a 3.75 from another UC campus gets preference over someone with the same GPA from a CCC every time, regardless of TAP or TAG or whatever else. Especially the guy transferring from UCSD, which is who I was talking to. I know the process very well. I've gone through it twice now. I'm just trying to help people who are in the same position that I was a year ago. Okay seriously, gotta go. Keep it real--E.H.</p>

Yeah, I guess. What is the title of the earth science course? If the course title says it's geology, then it's geology. Check the transferrable credit index on the UCOP.edu site, it should have a list of your school's courses and whether or not it satifies gen. ed. requirements. It will have the # of units and a letter corresponding to which area of the IGETC it fulfills. i.e 3-H or 3-A

<p>I need this couse to satisfy prereq for my major, not IGETC. There is no articulation. Like i said the conselors went w/ ucla's reqs site and told me it should be fine. UCLA uses the word earth science, my ccc uses GEOLOGY. It's the same thing, some people surprisng don't know it's the same thing. I am just asking u if i should mention that?</p>
<p>If they said it was cool then you probably don't have to. The UCOP site though, tells you which courses are transferrable and which ones are not. This is the standard that the admissions officers go by. So if your class shows up as UC transferrable, then there is no need to make a note because they should already know.</p>
<p>thanks pirates.</p>
<p>Can u tell me how i get to that site?</p>
<p>it says go to assist.org
on this site
<a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer/tr_info_ccc/tr_planning.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer/tr_info_ccc/tr_planning.html</a></p>
<p>I know it's transferble for sure. It says CCTC when i entered it on my app.</p>
<p>However, if the class meets the requirement for my major and if ucla adm. agree w/ the counselors and ucla admi reps who told me so?</p>
<p>Pirates: PLEASE HELP ME ASAP.. I need you to answer this question for me because the deadline is quickly approaching!</p>
<p>The UC application requires a response for question #3.</p>
<p>Is there anything you would like us to know about you or your academic record that you have not had the opportunity to describe elsewhere in the application? (200 words)</p>
<p>Is this question really REQUIRED though if you feel like you've answered everything that needs to be answered? I was thinking of just writing "I feel that I have answered everything bla bla"</p>
<p>What do you think? I already have a backup essay to fill in about why I received a 3.46/4.0 gpa for 1 semester (A/A/B/B) but I don't want to have to submit that essay unless I truly have to because thats kinda of being a whiner. I have a 3.8 transfer cum gpa btw.</p>
<p>Here is the site:
<a href="http://www.assist.org/web-assist/welcome.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.assist.org/web-assist/welcome.html</a></p>
<p>It's located on the ucop.edu site under admissions info,</p>
<p>the problem is that site doesn't have articulation(course equivalences) for that major.</p>
<p>Then I don't know what to tell you. I would make a note of it just in case, and contact the admissions office again just to make sure. You can never be to careful.</p>
<p>Maybe you can call out my chances on the UC's/USC?</p>
<p>applying to UCLA, USC, UCI, UCSD - in order of decreasing preference [yeah I'd go choose UCI over UCSD; I honestly don't think I'd go to any other school other than UCLA at this point].

<p>Hey Pirate, you sound like you know exactly what you're doing, would you mind taking a look at my personal statements and telling me what you think? Let me know, thanks a bunch.</p>
<p>PiratesLife gets my blessings as part of the solution.</p>
<p>This guy is truly a pirate!</p>
<p>my stats:
College GPA 12.6
SAT 99999999999999 (old sat)
HS Grades 12.6 (never answered a question wrong, ever)</p>
<p>my ecs:
Cured cancer
Defined Pi
Discovered Fire
Invented Wheel
Won a super bowl
Threesome with Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Anniston </p>
<p>Do I have a shot at Berkley if I have REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD RECS?</p>
<p>hahahahahahha </p>
<p>Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Aninston are both ugly. And you will definitely have to work hard to get into "Berkley" with those stats dude! Good luck!</p>
<p>what about my ecs? I know they aren't as good as editor of school newspaper, or president of the student government, but don't they carry some weight?</p>
<p>Ha--I made the decision not to focus on my work in student government in my personal statement; I think that was a smart decision.</p>
<p>if you say so. I have an East Coast bias so I dunno anything about the UC system and I haven't got the slightest clue *** a TAP is.</p>
<p>90 tranferable units or all units? The restriction I mean.</p>
