How important is it to have major prereqs done BEFORE spring?

<p>I have completed two of UCLA's major prereqs and am signed up for a third in the fall, and I intend to take the fourth (and last) in spring '13. I could have signed up for both remaining prereqs this fall, but I didn't because the other one conflicted with my last IGETC class, which is also an honors program class, so I chose to take that instead. I could have taken the major class, but I would have had to take some class I don't really need as a honors class then. But everyone says how important major prereqs are, so I'm concerned that I've made the wrong choice. I have a 4.0 GPA and am in the honors program and all that.</p>

<p>Taking pre-reqs in your last spring is totally fine. The importance is as long as you finish them before you transfer</p>

<p>But also keep in mind you’re going to be going up against people that do have all the pre-reqs completed. What’s your major?</p>

<p>I’m an English major. I could probably change my schedule around to fit both prereqs but it would be kind of inconvenient…</p>

<p>If you will have 3/4 done before Spring it’s not a big deal at all. They just hesitate a little if like 3/4 are left for Spring or something becuase they’re not sure how you’ll do in those classes. A lot of people still have a pre-req left for Spring, it’s nothing serious. I left 1 out of 3 pre-reqs for the Spring and got into both of the schools I applied to (UCI and UCLA). What is important is getting good grades in those classes and just in general. Don’t worry about it, it shouldn’t have any impact.</p>

<p>I finished one last prereq for Berkeley during winter quarter after apps, and for UCLA I finished one in winter and one in spring. I got into both (for psychology). So it should be alright if you don’t have tons of prereqs left.</p>

<p>Thanks for your replies! :)</p>
