Hello,
I have a question about Level/credits in the app. first, I attended a college in Texas for 2 years and now I’m attending ccc. so far, I got 41 credits from texas, and I will have 71 credits in ccc by spring. However, when my counselor did an official evaluation for a transcript from Texas, he doesn’t count every course from texas. so I thought I would have less than 90 credits by spring.
if I have more than 90 credits, but if I said I am junior in the application, will I get rejected?
it isn’t clear from your post whether you are talking about quarter units or semester units, but since you say you have 71 CCC units I assume it is quarter units. For 2 years of college in Texas to only have 41 credits are those semester or quarter units? You need to be counting the Texas and CCC units using the same metric.
UCs care about units, specifically transferrable units. See https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/preparing-to-transfer/basic-requirements.html Few UCs accept students with less than 90 semester units, the bar you need to be considered a junior xfer. You are in a bit of a mixed boat. The credit your CCC gives for your Texas units doesn’t matter to UC; it’s what UC thinks of them. Often they view them the same way, but not always. And to make things worse, UC won’t tell you in advance what they will give credit for at OOS schools.
So if you applied to UC as a junior transfer (eg. 90 quarter units of college by end of spring) and you don’t have 90 transferrable units then you will be automatically rejected or rescinded (depends when they do the credit evaluation). The only possible exception would be if you were almost there (say 4 quarter units short) and your UC campus agreed in advance to allow you to take them in summer school.
What CCC do you go to? Some have lots of xfer students and are very familiar with UC requirements, some less so. But UC sends counselors around regularly to every CCC. I suggest you find out when the next visit to your campus will be and make an appt; bring an unofficial copy of your transcript and a catalog from your Texas school (or have the webpage bookmarked) so hopefully the UC counselor can give you an opinion on how many units will xfer.
