<p>just remember, we are talking about a communications major at UCLA. say no more.</p>
<p>@bigdreamskid and sketpic51
lol relax
@mattmay93
For Cal and UCla it will definitely affect your admissions due to the in-completed prereqs but its not impossible to get in. for the rest of the UCs they seem to be more lenient for cc that dont offer your major requirements.</p>
<p>@elephapple</p>
<p>Biochem is indeed impacted. However, it has a 37% admit rate compared to the measly 11% of communication studies.</p>
<p>@northbeach: What is that supposed to mean? :T</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>See stephen91’s response. </p>
<p>I never really paid attention to other departments, so I had no idea so many people apply as Communication Studies majors. : o</p>
<p>If they do not offer the pre-reqs you need at a school that is reasonably close to your home it should not affect your admissions too much. The schools know that it is hard to just pick up and move.</p>
<p>Regarding the OP’s question on Golden West → UCLA for communication studies…</p>
<p>It appears that two prerequisites have no articulated courses:</p>
<p>Communication Studies 10
Anthropology 33 OR Communication Studies M70 OR Linguistics 1 OR Sociology 24</p>
<p>Of the community colleges near Golden West, only Marymount has Communication Studies 10, and none has any of the courses that fulfill the second prerequisite.</p>
<p>Of the community colleges near UCLA, El Camino is the only one with courses to cover both prerequisites. Santa Monica and Marymount have Communication Studies 10, while LA Valley and LA Pierce have courses that fulfill the second prerequisite.</p>
<p>So it is not like very many other transfer applicants to UCLA communication studies will have both of the prerequisites that the OP cannot find at Golden West.</p>
<p>I was wondering if lets say you have student A goes to a CCC that has 2/10 of the prereqs available would a student B that went to a CCC that has 8/10 done that are available be more competitive? I know it can’t hurt you but does student B have a better chance?</p>
<p>@Rosegray
that communications and film are some of the most competitive industries in the world. not completing ALL of your prerequisites before applying to UCLA in a communications major would be down right Stupid.</p>
<p>and personally i think if a ccc does not offer the courses, students should pack their bags and move to santa barbara city college (ranked number one cc in california) and increase their chances for admission to UCLA. UCLA is one of the top universities in the world, we get to go basically for free, and i would find it comedic (if it were not so pathetic) how apathetic students are about getting into these top UC schools. anything that increases your changes even one tiny bit is worth an ocean of effort. if kids don’t care, fine, go to the state schools and sink into debt because the state schools don’t offer blue and gold. some of the threads on here are pretty lame. and bigdreams took the time to post what is obvious and the other posters think he should calm down? that is particularly lame. come on dudes, this is your future here. </p>
<p>alas, too many california kids are spoiled. they have no idea what kids in other countries and states have to go through just to get into college.</p>
<p>If someone has a question about prereq’s they should talk to the admissions counselor at the school they want to apply to as well as the one at their cc. If the cc in question does not offer equivalent course work it is not required to transfer and cannot make you less competitive as you have required all possible requirements. But don’t take my word for it. Call the people who get paid to tell you the answers…here is a copy of what I had to do at SDCC for UC Davis:<br>

<p>END OF MAJOR</p>
<p>The area that says, “NO COMPARABLE COURSE” means it is not possible to satisfy that requirement. People must understand that the UC system knows about budget cuts and realizes that some classes are no longer offered. Furthermore, if a district does offer those prereq’s and you do not complete them it does not disqualify you, but does make you less competitive. I would have been fine without taking LINGUIS 1 Intro Linguistics. I know this because I CALLED UC DAVIS AND ASKED THEM MYSELF. Admissions explained it would not harm me or make me less competitive if my district did not offer the course in question. However, when I moved i found out that BCC (Berkeley) did offer said course and I now needed to take it. Why? Because it was offered.</p>
<p>Here is the difference between SDCC and BCC: ANTHRO 4 Anthro Linguistics (4)|ANTHR 18 Introduction to (3)

<p>Because Berkeley offered the course I had to take it. Again I called admissions and they said because I moved and the class was now accessible I needed to take it because I would be transferring from a new school…</p>
<p>So, to the OP, I hope this clears up any misinformation you have gotten from the many opinions on this thread.</p>

<p>The difference in the situation of the kid who had UCLA rescind his admission was that his CC DID offer the pre-requisite and that he did in fact say he was going to take it for Spring, only to later inform them that he was unable to. Your comparison between the situation does not work, as they are not the same.</p>
<p>Here is a similar situation that you are in.
This goes to show how important pre reqs are in admission at UCLA
Don’t let skeptic misinform you and ruin your chances at UCLA
You’ve got to strive to get all of it done. If it was as easy as skeptic explain
then UCLA wouldn’t be as prestigious as it is now and it would be much easier to gain acceptance, but that isn’t that case.
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, if anything it will push you to be more academically focused and prepare you to engage in heavier work loads and pick up better organization skills and studying methods which will come in handy when you get accepted!
Good luck in your journey my friend! </p>

<p>@LA</p>
<p>What you said is true. I am just pointing out the importance of pre reqs in a highly impacted major. Although they may not offer his classes at his CC others pursuing the same major who got more pre reqs done are in reality considered more competitive.
I’m just saying it wouldn’t be the worst idea to try to look for other options that may better prepare you and making yourself stand out more when applying. Am i wrong?
When a student goes the extra mile to do this admissions well take this into consideration…</p>
<p>@BigDreamsKid</p>
<p>I understand you underlying point. I’m not saying that it’s not a good idea to not have pre-reqs done either, I just want the OP to know that they are not exactly the same.</p>
<p>Read the one i just posted…
I am not comparing.
I AM SHOWING THE IMPORTANCE OF!</p>
<p>what is wrong with being academically driven and being better prepared!
OPTIONS are never a bad thing.</p>
<p>@BigDreamsKid</p>
<p>Sorry, your post hadn’t loaded when I posted. I just read it and edited it.</p>
<p>@LA</p>
<p>It’s all good.
Yea i understand where you are coming from.</p>
<p>Ya, I understand what you mean as well.</p>
<p>DUDE! You guys don’t understand. I agree that the pre-req’s are very important (For ANY UC). However, you must remember the original post. The point is that the cc does NOT offer the specific pre-req. So, IF IT IS NOT OFFERED IN THE DISTRICT THIS PERSON IS IN IT WILL NOT BE HELD AGAINST SAID PERSON. If you really want to find out the actual answer (ANYONE) you should just call the admissions office. I think it is ridiculous that people think their opinions out way FACTS.</p>
