<p>ok, so i want to transfer to ucb, and have to take either general education/breadth requirements or igetc. i have 3 questions:</p>
<li>can i use ap credit of 3 or higher for igetc?</li>
<li>on assist.org, i’m confused about area 8 for igetc (interim critical thinking). do i have to take it?</li>
<li>for igetc, do i have to take language other than english if i already did at least 2 years of foreign language in high school?</li>
</ol>
<p>I took 2 AP tests my senior year of high school</p>
<p>One was the english one, and one was the spanish language one</p>
<p>I got a 4 on the english and a 5 on the spanish…
PCC let me skip english 1A but I still had to take 1B and 1C (critical thinking)
I didn’t have to take any foreign language at all…but I also took 4 years of spanish in high school so not sure how that works!</p>
<p>1) Yes, most likely you can use AP credits of three and higher. But let me warn you, some require a 4 or higher so you will have to check with your counselor. Also, at my school, a year after i started there, they effectively canceled the AP credit benefits. This did not affect me however seeing as i entered before they canceled it. So all these things you should definitely check with your counselor. But most likely at least some AP credits should count.</p>
<p>2) i have no idea what area 8 is, mine only had 6 areas</p>
<p>3) No more foreign language for you! 2 years is the minimum so congrats.</p>
<p>But i suggest you spend time with a counselor because they can definitely answer all the questions you asked and more.</p>
<p>thanks guys, also:</p>
<ol>
<li>is there any limit to how many ap credits you can use?</li>
<li>do online classes affect your chances of admission?</li>
</ol>
<p>no online classes are the same as normal classes, so that shouldn’t affect anything.</p>
<p>and i had a friend who transferred up to a whole year of AP classes to UCB.
i believe he took about 10 in high school, and all of them transferred.</p>
<p>and as for your language, send your transcripts to your ccc, and they should waive the requirement. Sometimes UC’s prefer 3 years. so find that out before…</p>
