Also, do you know what this means "At least 3 courses from at least 2 disciplines or an interdisciplinary sequence. 9 semester, 12-15 quarter units." (it's from assist.com for the social and behavioral science part. Can't seem to figure it out.

<p>This means that for the social and behavioral sciences portion of IGETC, you have to take three of the courses listed from at least two different subjects. In other words, you couldn't fulfill the requirement with Psych 1, 2, and 3, but you could with Psych 1, 2 and Sociology 1, as you have diversified disciplines. I'm not sure what is meant by "interdisciplinary sequence"; you would have to check with your school about that one.</p>
<p>whats after english 90? what are all the classes u to 1a? i placed into 1a</p>
<p>finish math and english first, those are crucial. In my humble opinion, I wished I took summer school right away after high school so that i would get my credits and grades far ahead, and by the time you apply, you'll be a more competitive applicant because you finish a lot of what you need. Don't get W's or C's or lower. Try to maintain B's and A's. The more A's, the better.
I wish I took summer classes right after high school but I didn't have any transportation, so oh well. But since Fall 2005, I've been taking on every semester, and every winter and summer classes.</p>
<p>When am i suppose to apply to admissions to UC if im a transfer student. So confused. If i apply in fall of '07, does the spring of '08 count? does it mean i have to have all requirements by the end of fall '07? Im just totally confused about how this whole process works.</p>
<p>and wow, they have winter courses also! so you can have 4 semesters of work completed in a year?</p>
<p>You apply during the fall of your second year at a CC. They will request you to send in a transcript of all your coursework.
Are you starting at a CC this fall? If that is the case, you will be applying next year at Fall 2007 for the Fall 2008 admit year. So basically you are applying for yourself to enter in ANOTHER year.</p>
<p>i looked at the UC website and they say all requirements must be completed prior to spring. So that means course taken in CC in spring '08 will not count right? oh man! that means that i will have to pack in A LOT of classes per semester to fulfill all the IGETC requirements.</p>
<p>oh and how long are the winter courses?</p>
<p>yes classes must be completed prior on the spring BEFORE you transfer into the new school. That means, your last semester at a CC before you admit into a new school. The courses you take in spring 08 will count, don't worry, assuming you start CC this fall 2006. they will be included in your 60 transferable unit thinger.</p>
<p>winter courses are like summer courses, they are 6 weeks long.</p>
<p>they dont seem to have winter courses at city college... can i take them at another community college and have them count?</p>
<p>yes you can take them at another community college, that's fine.</p>
<p>If in sf, what CC did you go to?</p>
<p>i don't live in sf, I live in LA, and I go to Glendale Community College. Where are you planning to transfer to?</p>
<p>UCLA, cause i can major in biology there. Heard it was hard to get in though, think i have to look for backups. Where are you going?</p>
<p>I'm applying to UCLA this Fall as a Global Studies major, hopefully I get in. I love LA and I'm only considering UCLA, as stubborn as I sound. But LA rules and my friends and family are all here. I was thinking of doing biology but I changed my mind. And yes, it's a little harder getting into Biology as a UCLA transfer since it's impacted, but if you can do it, do it, just work hard and maintain a high GPA.</p>
<p>UCSD has very good science programs as well. I believe my friends from UCSD told me that they are the #1 UC funded for science-related research.</p>
<p>o? i should read up on that. thanks. </p>
<p>just scheduled my first appointment to talk to transfer counselor... anything important i should ask about?</p>
<p>hm well, you can always ask them what's the admission rates and how competitive it is to enter UC___ as a biology major, just so you know what kind of a GPA you will need to be a competitive applicant. But you always want to strive for a higher GPA than the average. Just ask any questions you think would be helpful to you.</p>
<p>heres how it works. you apply for fall in november during the previous fall semester. example: you want to apply for fall 2007, so you apply in november 2006 during the fall semester. once you finish the fall semester and get your grades, you go online (around january) and update your UC application online with the new grades, and they are taken into account. then they will decide whether or not to accept you based on all grades up to and including the fall semester of the year preceeding the year in which you want to transfer. they will also ask you what you plan to take that spring, and will accept you but say that you must earn a C or better in all the classes you plan to take in the spring. if you deviate from your stated class plan for the spring or earn less than a C in any of those classes then that is probably grounds to revoke your admission.</p>
<p>also, to whoever said you have to complete requirements before the spring... not true at all. you can finish up the last 15 or so units of your 60 units in the spring, as well as finish up igetc if youd like.</p>
<p>sunnynight... you want to map out which classes you will take over the next 3 or so semesters, planning which classes will fill which requirements for the IGETC and other major-specific classes. also throw in some PE classes to help raise the GPA and maybe some transferable yet fun classes to raise the GPA also. get confirmation from the counselor about specific key dates such as registration dates and application dates. ask them any questions about schools and possible suggestions they have, they probably will know something about your major and may point you in the direction of a school with a good program for your interests.</p>
