<p>i was just wondering if it will affect my chances of getting admitted if any of the courses that i am supposed to take for my major are not offered by my community college?</p>
<p>If there is a nearby community college that DOES offer the articulated courses, it may look bad.</p>
<p>If that is not the case, the UCs will understand and it should be okay.</p>
<p>Which courses is it? If it’s listed as a “core class” you need to find it. If it’s listed as “recommended”, you’re probably okay, but it’s better if you do take it (less stuff to take after transferring). If it’s something like Berkeley EECS recommended courses, those are hard to find and don’t worry too much.</p>
<p>Or just check nearby schools, and if you can’t find it you’re probably okay. Taking similar classes (even if they don’t articulate) can also help your chances.</p>
<p>its for UCSB… it’s just one class that i will be missing and it’s intermediate microeconomic theory. My school doesn’t offer it and neither do the other two surrounding community colleges. My gpa is 3.72 so should that be good enough even though i’ll be missing that one class?</p>
<p>You should also check to see if they are upper division classes, if they are, then you definitely don’t have to take them.</p>
<p>Most majors at UCSB do not screen for major prep, but the Econ major does screen for major prep. If you are majoring in Econ, you need to that class online somewhere to ensure you are competitive for admission.
