I'm in some deep trouble. I need help understanding and a solution??????

<p>Any major at ucsb that has pre-major is competitive</p>

<p>^Prolems. Same problems others have with CSUs that lead em to transferring into a CC.</p>

<p>I’ve also said it about a dozen times on this forum.</p>

<p>So say it once more. You think everyone’s gonna go out of their way to help you?</p>

<p>Everything you’ve said here that’s bothering you is your own fault. My parents hate CCs… my cousins didn’t make it… my school sucks… blah blah.</p>

<p>Ever thought about making up your own mind? Giving it a much-needed tan, you know…</p>

<p>@Salmos</p>

<p>Did I ask you for your unnecessary comment?</p>

<p>No right? So keep your mouth shut and leave.</p>

<p>Nobody here is complaining. I’m here to get answers.</p>

<p>Tony, if you want to apply this fall then get at least 30 UC-transferable units by the end of summer. Then finish the other 30 UC-transferable classes by spring 2013. Besure you’re done with your IGETC and major pre-req by the end of spring 2013. Try to also do TAG with ucsb</p>

<p>Also note, your units completed determines your class.
For ex: 30 units completed = sophomore
60 units completed = junior. And etc.</p>

<p>Another info: it is probable you will stay longer at cc than expected. Because you’re a new student at cc you will be given last priority to register for class. So it is possible your classes will be already full by the time it is your turn to enroll. Therefore, I highly suggest you to enroll in multiple cc so you can get into the classes you need.</p>

<p>MY two cents is that all CC are not the same. I live in the Bay Area. Went to SF CC it was horrible like high school all over again. It actually put me off. So I didn’t go to school for about a year. Decided to give it a second crack, when I got the spark. I was in San Jose at the time an went to De Anza college in Cupertino near Apple headquarters. It was night and day. That CC felt like you were at a UC. If I still lived in the area I’d love to there for some enrichment classes like pottery. That school had a really high rate of sending people to UCs. I think at the time it was extremely highly ranked for a CC.</p>

<p>oh and ucsb’d tag I’m pretty sure you have to have 3.2 gpa by the END of fall. so Tony, you still have a great chance at getting accepted there</p>

<p>Isn’t it a 3.2 when you submit the TAG application in September? Fall would not be factored in.</p>

<p>^^Actually, its by the end of Fall semester. You aren’t notified if your TAG has been accepted or declined like some UC’s; instead, they send it out with your acceptance/rejected admissions. They will know if you met the GPA requirement by your Transfer Academic Update (When you update your Fall grades)</p>

<p>yeah told you :p</p>

<p>Also note; with UCSB Pre-major’s, if you do not pass into full-major then you will be barred from this major permanently. UCSB Counselor just told me this, and it depends on the case and not all pre-majors do it.</p>

<p>^ What do you mean “pass into full-major”???</p>

<p>when you apply you are accepted as a pre-major, for example, i applied as a sociology major, so if admitted i’d be classified as pre-sociology. once all the requirements are met I would have to complete a change of major petition. you have to get a certain gpa, also you are not guaranteed admission to full major status.</p>

<p>to be honest, you have to have a minimum of 30 semester units to apply to a UC or 45 quarter units. Therefore, you are not eligible to apply with the units that you have. And to be perfectly honest, the more units you have behind you at the time of applying, the better. Meaning that you finish your igetc and pre-reqs if possible. I hope this helps, good luck with your decision!
btw–i recommend going to a cc. If a uc institution is a dream school for you then go for it, don’t pay money for a school you are unhappy at.</p>

<p>What citizen said is correct. Economics at UCSB is also a pre-major. So, if you transfer to UCSB from CC you will be considered a Economic Pre-Major–meaning your not a Economic major, yet. You have to take more classes and depending what grade you get and if you meet their qualification then you become a Economic Major.</p>

<p>Okay. but alot of people are telling me not to go to SMC because its hard to get classes there so idk what to do</p>

<p>honestly, all community colleges are going to be like that. if you don’t have a priority registration date, its going to be hard to get every class you want/need. I know people who have only been able to get 1 or 2 classes =/</p>

<p>These days when it seems impossible to obtain classes, the key is to get as many priority levels as you can. This means joining clubs, organizations, and programs that will place you in a higher priority so that you can enroll in classes sooner than most people can. For example, join your school’s honor program. That’ll definitely give you an advantage in enrollment. Combine that with being active in a club or the student body and your priority enrollment status will be raised even higher. The higher your status is, the faster you can sign up for a class.</p>

<p>Also, run for Student Body at your CC. You will get priority registration.</p>

<p>lol @shibrang “you should just sue them” haha</p>
