<p>I will be going to UCSD in the fall as a freshmen with 63 units completed already (36 AP units, 27 CC units)
I am planning to apply as a transfer for berkeley in two years, but by that time, I will have already completed well over 120 units. Does anyone have any insight on this? Is there any way I can still be eligible to apply with the same chance as other students?</p>
<p>You cannot apply with over 80 semester units as a junior transfer. I believe they will only count your 27 CC units towards this restriction and not the AP units.</p>
<p>80 semester units = 120 quarter units right?
so that means I can only complete a max of 93 units in two years. Is there a deadline for this? For example, when you apply you can only have a max of 120, or when you finish your 2nd year, you can only have a max of 120?
And also, how will they know which classes I complete in my spring quarter of my 2nd year? Can I list fewer classes than what I would actually take my 2nd year to make my credit count lower?
And lastly, how lenient are they about this cap? If I am just a few units over, will they just flat out reject me?</p>
<p>AP units don’t count toward the cap.</p>
<p>Yes, 80 semester = 120 quarter units. The restriction refers to 80 semester units prior to enrollment, so you have to finish with 80 or less by the end of your 2nd year. Remember only UC transferable courses apply to this restriction. You are admitted under the condition that you have less than 80 semester units completed once you enroll. If you go over, then they have grounds to revoke your admission, which they will probably do.</p>
<p>This might help

<p>do only classes that are ucsd transferable count? or only classes that are ucb transferable count?</p>
<p>I checked assist.org, and some classes that are transferable for ucsd are not for ucb.</p>
<p>Check to see if the courses you took at CC are all UC transferable. I’d imagine that everything you take at UCSD will count towards the 80 unit restriction but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>EXCEPTION: If all coursework was completed at a
two-year college, this excess unit policy does
not apply.</p>
<p>True, but the OP stated he/she was going to be a freshman at UCSD</p>
<p>So essentially if you’re over the 120 unit cap you’re ****ed, and in that case can you be selective about which CC courses you want counted into the units (I gather as much, but just asking again)</p>
<p>If you have taken units at a 4 year university or college, you are subject to the 120 quarter unit cap. Going over this cap makes you ineligible for junior transfer (since most if not all the UC’s don’t accept senior transfer, you’re SOL). But like LogicWarrior mentioned, if all your units are from CCC, then you are not subject to the cap. You can’t be selective to which CC courses count towards the cap (if you’re transferring from a 4 year), all courses that are UC-transferable will count</p>
<p>um WHAT!!! I heard that if you take at least your last 30 units at a CCC, regardless of whether u were at a 4 year institution beforehand, you can take 320 units…but they can only give you 70 possible transferable if accepted.</p>
<p>ugh</p>
<p>i hope that’s how it still is.</p>
<p>that’s what an admissions person told me…i wonder if they forgot that i went to a 4 year institution for 1.5 years!!! and it was out of state…oh god. ucla may be harder than i thought.</p>
<p>Add your AP credits and your CCC credits together. If more than 70s/105q, you only get 70s/105q.</p>
<p>Jeremybeach, I was wrong in what I said. There is link somewhere here that specifies the unit policies among each college within a specific UC. For example, if you’re applying to the College of Letters and Science for UCLA and UCB, then you are not subjected to the unit cap policy (I’m assuming you went from a 4 year to CCC that is). Point being, is that each college within a given UC has its own policies, so it’s best to check with them.</p>
<p>Edit: here is the link (scroll down to unit policies)

<p>haha it’s ok :P.
i just had a mini panic session.</p>
<p>btw…is it true that, for the most part, no matter which UC you go to you’ll get an outstanding education? I just realized that today…people try so hard to get into like ucb or ucla, but even if they don’t, they still have great choices right!? Like ucsb lol</p>
