Not enough units?!?!

<p>I am trying to submit my application, however it says I do not have enough units for junior status. Before you guys troll me understand that I DID INCLUDE MY SPRING SCHEDULE. The application seems to be giving me no credit for my AP courses. Is anyone else having this problem?</p>

<p>If your using ap credit you should mention it on the additional comment section. Check my thread I had the same problem, I would just recheck everything and then see if its a glitch my calling UC tech support. Although you should be fine since the additional comment section would suffice for any ap units.</p>

<p>Oh I submitted mine with 52 units although it should have been 58 without AP credit.</p>

<p>Dude they stress the 60 units alot ^</p>

<p>Do you know when we have to report our AP grades? I actually will only have like 75-76 units by the end of spring quarter…without my AP units. Do they count AP units later on or how do they do it? I don’t want to be rejected for not meeting the 90 unit requirement, but they aren’t counting my AP in</p>

<p>I only have 54 units without AP units. But I’ve 18 units of AP credit and I assumed that those would be counted so I didn’t put it into the additional comments? </p>

<p>Do think I should call them to let me write it in the additional comments box?</p>

<p>I wrote mine into the additional comments box that I will have over 90 units with my ap units but I did not state how many units I got from my AP tests. You could try to explain to them but I think they will know from the self reported scores and also when you send your transcript it should be included.</p>

<p>My question is - would it hurt my chances if I reported a 2 for an AP test? I decided to just report all of them…without realizing this issue earlier =/ but I want to call to ask them if I can just omit it</p>

<p>@KarmaGo I made the same assumption. I now wish I had written something in the additional comments, but hopefully there’s an additional comments box in the transfer academic update in January. If not, I feel like admissions will be able to figure out that the AP scores are to be counted in the total units if needed.</p>

<p>Does anyone happen to know if there’s an additional comments box in the January update?</p>

<p>I think there is another box when you update your grades…so it should be ok</p>

<p>wait i didnt see anywhere on the application where it said your number of units and i submitted it already? did i just not see it? is it there?</p>

<p>I called the office and I was told to send them an email explaining the situation. It would become an amendment which would be forwarded to the admissions office. </p>

<p>Include your full name, address and your UC number in the email.</p>

<p>): so… is it okay that I’m using AP credit to cover my crappy unit count…</p>

<p>I took 3 AP classes (15.7 units) and I’ll have exactly 60 by the end of Spring.</p>

<p>From what I’ve been told mid-level UC’s don’t stress the # of units completed as long as you meet the 60 unit requirement by the end of Spring.</p>

<p>anything less and you’re toast. I imagine UCB/UCLA will favor an applicant with 90 completed units over one with 65 completed units - united taken over several years without demonstrating an ability to take a full course load each semester.</p>

<p>Kinda lame that some high schools allow kids to take AP classes freshman year. at my school I couldn’t take AP until JUNIOR year, and they only had 6 AP courses available. And only the top 10% of the junior class could take the courses.</p>

<p>^ thanks for the tips! But does this mean that my chances at la and cal are less since yeah… I’d be nothing without my ap credit…</p>
