Next year transfer, got questions!

<p>I was thinking of transferring to Berkeley next year, engineering program
right now im a senior in H.S, going to cuny baruch during fall
I went to their website and I'm pretty confused on the requirements</p>

<p>basically what I want to know is what I have to do freshman year to quality myself for transfer, or if its even possible to transfer that early?</p>

<p>"Students who have completed a minimum of 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter units) of college-level work may be admitted in "advanced standing" to the College of Engineering."
- what are semester units??
"Q: What courses should I complete in order to be a good candidate for transfer admission?
First you must be sure you are UC eligible. All applicants must satisfy the general requirements for Admission to the University (outlined in the General Catalog or the Office of Undergraduate Admissions web site). In addition, you should complete the lower-division requirements of the major for which you intend to apply. The requirements for each major are outlined in the General Catalog and in sample programs in Appendix I of the College's Announcement.</p>

<p>Technical Courses - You should complete courses which will satisfy the lower-division technical requirements (math, science, and engineering courses) for your intended major. Technical courses should all be taken for a letter grade.</p>

<p>English Composition - You should also complete the equivalent of UC Berkeley's English 1A and English 1B with courses of at least 3 semester units. These courses must be taken for a letter grade.</p>

<p>Breadth Requirements - The only non-technical requirement for admission to the College of Engineering is English composition. However, the College does have degree requirements for the humanities and social studies. Transfer applicants are encouraged to consult the College Announcement for more information on the lower division component of this requirement, if they would like to complete suitable courses prior to admission. Students should not follow IGETC"
my school doesn't have any engineering courses..
is it possible to still transfer @ freshman year?</p>

<p>helppp me I wanna transfer!</p>

<p>ok so what im understanding is berkeley only accepts junior transfers..</p>

<p>this is gonna be a problem for me because there is no way for me to complete the required courses for the college of engineering at my current institution,</p>

<p>i dont know if transferring twice would work.. (once to a school where I could complete the remaining required courses and then to UC)</p>

<p>I dont think its a good idea I guess I'll be going to a NY state university -.-</p>
