<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I have taken General CHemistry I at Los Angeles City College and plan to take General Chemistry II at Santa Monica College. I plan to transfer into UCLA in Fall of 2006. Would there be any trouble transfering the general chem?</p>
<p>Yeah thats fine. U will have to bring in ur transcript showing that u took chem 1 to SMC to let u to enroll in chem 2, called chem 12 down there. Take Arnold, Martinez, or Kline. Classes there are pretty challenging. </p>
<p>i am assuming LACC is on the semester system</p>
<p>Oh cool, do you go to SMC? I hear that supposedly some science professors make their courses more challenging than UCLA courses.</p>
<p>yes. Most of the teachers there have taught at Berkeley and other top schools. Three got their PhD from MIT.</p>
<p>Some teachers are teaching at UCLA and SMC at the same time b.c they are not far from each other. </p>
<p>Let me tell you, If u enroll in Kline or Anderson, getting an A is extremely dificult. </p>
<p>U'll learn a ton though.</p>
<p>that is cool. I might also concurrently enroll in Organic I while taking CHem II in the Fall. What chem level are you taking?</p>
<p>woah, you guys can actually do that? The school allows you to take General Chem II and Organic Chem I concurrently? If I am not mistaken, isn't Gen Chem II a prerequisite to get into Organic Chem I? How can you do that? Haha, sorry I am just curious...</p>
<p>Just a thought rahulkghosh:</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn't recommend anybody take two 5-unit courses in one semester (assuming each of your Chem classes is worth 5 units) especially if they're on the same subject. O Chem took up most of my study time, but that's just me :) Take your time if you can. I think Gen Chem II is not a prereq to O Chem at my cc coz someone had to repeat it and started O Chem at the same time. Then again, my cc is not very strict with prereqs.</p>
<p>Uh... don't know really. I mean, I have that planned plus a load of other classes. Whatever, oh well. I know at LACC you could do that. Pre-requisites aren't enforced.</p>
<p>um i wouldn't take both at the same time if i were u</p>
<p>BTW, i am taking chem 12 (chem 2) right now which will end in less than 5 days from now.</p>
<p>rahulkghosh, I took GenChem2 lec/lab and OChem1 lec/lab in one semester, against my school's prereq policy. I had to beg for TPTB to let me do it. But I had to do it if I wanted to transfer by fall05, and I had a 4.0 before then. Still, you shouldn't do it unless it's absolutely worth the risk. My 4.0 went down to a 3.54 because of that semester (I was taking Bio1 lec/lab and English that semester, as well).</p>
<p>I was thinking about a situation like biochemist12's when I wrote:</p>
<p>"Personally, I wouldn't recommend anybody take two 5-unit courses in one semester (assuming each of your Chem classes is worth 5 units) especially if they're on the same subject."</p>
<p>I tried to jumble up the classes a little when I was in cc. My schedule would go something like this: Gen Chem, Physics, Calculus. Just a thought. Maybe if you feel confident taking Gen Chem and O Chem together then go for it. Everyone's different :) If i could do it all over, I still wouldn't take those two Chem classes together because 12 hours of lab/week would just kill me right there. :)</p>
<p>suzzie, </p>
<p>I agree, at my cc, ochem and general chem are 9 hrs each, total of 18. </p>
<p>CC recomend that u spend 2 hrs for every hr of lecture, of course not many do that, but still those are two of the toughest classes available at most CC, generally speaking.</p>
<p>I don't know if anyone would recomend that especially at 14. </p>
<p>I think i was 8 or 9th grade at 14, definitly not thinking about going to 2 CC and CSULA.</p>
<p>have times changed that much :)</p>
<p>dang, 14? Wops. I say take it easy. :)</p>
