How do I transfer as soon as possible from a California Community College?

I want to get into UC Berkeley or UCLA as a computer science major. Right now, the courses I will have completed will be all of my IGETC, however I am very behind in math. I do not yet have Calculus, and Calculus is a pre-req for many of the classes I need to take for my major. This is my second year at community college and I will admit, I have slacked off a bit this past year.

I need to take Math Analysis 1 and 2 before I am able to take Calc 1. I am currently taking Analysis 1, and will be taking Analysis 2 this summer.

Finally, I will be taking Calc 1, Calc 2, Discrete Math on the fall of 2018, along with my first computer science class, Fundamentals of Computer Science. which only has a pre-req of Analysis 2 (which i will complete over summer). My school lets me take two math courses per semester, each is 8 weeks rather than 16.

WIth my calculus classes done, on winter I plan on taking physics 1, calculus 3, and linear algebra ( Because of credit limits during winter, i will be completing one of those courses in another college)

Spring 2019 shall be my last semester before transferring. I will take Java, Data structures, Physics 2, differential equations, and C++ ( If this goes over my credit limit, I will take one of the classes in a separate college).

Assuming I receive all A’s in these courses, will I be a desirable candidate for Uc Berkeley? My GPA is currently a 3.0 Those classes should hopefully boost it up to 3.8?

If UCB is not an option, then I will go for UCLA, then Cal Poly Pomona.
Thank you all for reading :).

I will have 95.5 units if I complete all those courses along with my igetc. Will I still be able to transfer?

UCB’s CS program is probably the most competitive major there. Looks like their average GPA of admitted students last year was 3.89-4.00

I didn’t think you could take Calc 1 and 2 the same semester.

5

Yes, 1 the first half of semester, 2 the second half

^^^ oh I see.

You will be good with having the 90 units.

Lower division units (including all community college units) are capped at 70 for transferring to UC (all courses count for subject credit).

I see I see. Thanks. I read that the unit cap only applies to non California community colleges. therefore, this does not apply to me. So, only 70 of my units will transfer which is fine, I was just wondering if I would be denied entry dude to having too many units, which is no.
