<p>i’m trying to transfer in one year and have 5 courses at cc while in hs and the summer after and taken 7 ap’s…my counselor told me that i can use the units from the 5 courses to transfer…from what i understand, we have a choice of whether or not we want to apply those units towards the minimum number of units to graduate…what i’m not sure of is if we apply those units towards the minimum number of units to transfer then will they automatically be used towards the number of units to graduate? cuz from everything i’ve read and all the counselors i’ve talked to i’m pretty sure we can use those cc units to transfer. at @ JamesGold, no, ucla won’t look at your hs record</p>
<p>anything is possible.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m pretty sure we can use college units taken before high school graduation to transfer. What you can’t do is apply as a transfer student in your senior year of high school just because you took college classes.</p>
<p>yea, u’re right, u need to be enrolled for a regular term excluding summer after hs…but i thought your question was whether or not u could transfer previous cc units?</p>
<p>Yes, it was. My question was whether or not we can transfer cc units taken before high school graduation. And it looked like your answer was ‘Yes’? :D</p>
<p>Absolutely</p>
<p>Awesome! Thank you. :)</p>
<p>I attended college for one semester before dropping out. When I decided to return to school I wanted to get a bunch of general education requirements out of the way, so I enrolled in four community colleges and took 46 semester units in one semester (Biological Anthropology, Art History Survey I, Micro-economics, Macro-economics, English Composition I, English Composition II, Creative Writing, Geology w/Lab, History of Western Civilization I, Critical Thinking, Political Science American Government, Psychology of Personality, World Religions, Introduction to Sociology, Social Problems.) It was a weird mix of classes, but each class met a requirement, and the classes were largely taught online, with proctored and timed on campus exams. I transferred the credits to UNC Chapel Hill with very little trouble; the admissions office called and asked about the anomaly when reviewing my application, but they were satisfied with my explanation. Taking fifteen classes wasn’t academically challenging, but I am an extremely organized person and those fifteen classes taxed my organizational skills. For four months it seemed like every waking hour was spent on school work, but it was worth it to knock out a bunch of introductory classes in subjects in which I had minimal interest. At UNC I still had to take some upper division general education requirements, but for the most part I was able to focus on classes in my major. So yes, what you propose to do is possible, but you may have to put your social life on hold for a semester and focus 24/7 on your coursework.</p>
<p>You enrolled in four colleges and took 15 classes in ONE semester? THAT is suicide.</p>
<p>Edmfanatiq, how does that apply to my situation?
and i dont know where u heard about classes taken during high school does not count, because it most definitely does. I confirmed this before i posted this</p>
<p>I called an admissions officer and asked whether I could use the credit I received from classes I took during high school to knock down the 60 semester unit requirement and I was informed that I could not if they weren’t used to satisfy major requirements (electives).</p>
<p>Hiroshi, your Japanese classes do count towards your hour completion because they are your major pre reqs.</p>
<p>I still don’t understand how one can apply as a transfer student in high school. Plus, transferring right out of high school implies that you’re finishing the 60 semester hour requisite in 1 year.</p>
<p>
Well if they aren’t UC-transferable then they won’t count.</p>
<p>
You can’t apply as a transfer student in high school. You need at least 1 full time semester not including summer, AFTER high school diploma or CHSPE.</p>
<p>Yes, like Rpicton mentioned, even if you completed the 60 semester requirement in community college before graduating high school, you’re not able to apply as a transfer student right out of high school. However, that’s not our situation here. In my case, I’m going to be completing two full years at a community college after finishing high school. So, I’m not applying as a transfer student in high school. I’m applying as a transfer student after completing two years at a community college. And, from what I’ve heard so far, as long as the courses I took are UC transferable, they will transfer, whether or not they were taken before or after high school graduation.</p>
<p>Glad that this is all cleared up. I think we all got a little bit worried! :D</p>
<p>I think what it comes down to is…</p>
<p>Do you have 60 units after subtracting the units taken during HS?</p>
<p>unknown pleasures… no. that is NOT what it comes down to…thats exactly the OPPOSITE.</p>
<p>UnknownPleasures: No, I don’t. But I find that to be irrelevant. The UC website mentions nothing about units taken during HS to not be transferable. The only thing the UC website says is the following: </p>
<p>“The University considers you a transfer applicant if you enrolled in a regular session at another college or university, except while in high school or summer session immediately following high school. (You can’t disregard your college record and apply as a freshman.)”</p>
<p>All this says is that you cannot be considered a transfer student if you are attempting to transfer immediately after high school without being enrolled in a college for at least one full semester. Nothing is mentioned there (or anywhere else on the UC website) about college courses taken during HS not being transferable (unless, of course, the courses were not UC transferable in the first place.) This was confirmed by another few members, as well.</p>
<p>if you ever doubt yourself, if you ever need motivation, if u seek inspiration to fufill ur quest to complete 60 unit in 1 year, watch this video!</p>

<p>short answer: no</p>
<p>long answer: no, because regardless of major, people choose the wrong courses and stress themselves all year or they don’t know how to manage their time, anyone can transfer in one year if they have ap credit, even engineers (need a lot of ap credit) if you plan right</p>
<p>My friend is attempting to transfer to UCB in one year. He’s taking around 21-24 units this semester. All he does is sleep and study lol and he’s at school four days a week from like 6:30AM to 10:00pm.</p>
<p>^ That’s what I’m afraid of. What exactly are the pros and cons of going this route?</p>
