<p>Will the UCs reject me right away if I didnt complete all their general education classes?</p>
<p>No.</p>

<p>yes and no…but most UC’s want them done the spring your done.</p>
<p>^That’s true. It’s good, and even important to have them done. Ideally you’d just be taking elective units in Spring. That said, they will not automatically reject you for not having your general education requirements completed.</p>
<p>will i be at a disadvantage? can i finish them during the summer if i get accepted? i should be missing like 3 max. i took applied calc 1 and 2 instead of calc w/ trig so i have no time for a few gen eds. -.- will have all major prereqs done though</p>
<p>Yes, it could potentially harm you. Have you already applied? If so, there’s not much you can do right now. Check with whichever school you decide to attend to check on their summer course policy (for the summer immediately prior to admission). Some UCs accept that, some don’t. </p>
<p>If you’re applying this year to start in Fall 2012, do everything you can do get your GEs done before the end of Spring 2012, and ideally before the end of Fall 2011.</p>
<p>Were you on the IGETC track? If you had, say, all but one IGETC course complete before transfer, you can’t simply complete the last one at UC. In that situation you’d be subject to the UC’s regular GE requirements, which may not match with what you’ve already taken. IGETC is an all or nothing thing, and it must be completed at a CCC.</p>
<p>I didn’t apply yet, I’m on my second semester. I go to an OOS cc.</p>
<p>Well, damn, that complicates things. Honestly, if you want to go to a top-tier UC, you should really be at a CCC. You’re going to move to CA anyway, right? Just move two years early.</p>
<p>UCs prioritize transfer applicants based on where they transfer from. First priority goes to CCC students. Second are UC to UC transfers. In last place are students from other colleges, be it Stanford, Cal State Long Beach, or Greendale Community College in Denver. The admit rate for the third category is very low–only the very best are admitted.</p>
<p>I’m not saying it’s impossible, just that it will be an uphill battle. The complexity is doubled by the lack of articulation agreements between UC and out of state colleges.</p>
<p>dang i see…thanks guys-nick!!</p>
