Not taking a course suggested by UC Berkeley

<p>I'm a UC Irvine student whose major is in math and soon to declare physics as his second major. Now, I'm a bit troubled by what I read from Welcome</a> to ASSIST concerning what classes I should take for physics.</p>

<p>It says there that UC Berkeley will not take AP Physics score for credit. Granted, UC Irvine didn't take my score (3) for credit either, but I got something equivalent by passing their placement exam. As a result, I skipped the first course of the introductory physics series (Physics 7A). In an optimist perspective, I received credit for this class.</p>

<p>Since UC Berkeley doesn't take any credit from AP Physics, it could imply it doesn't take credit from this placement exam, and that I SHOULD'VE had enrolled in the first course of this physics series to meet one of the recommendations set by UC Berkeley. </p>

<p>So, the question is, are my chances for transfer hurt if I didn't enroll in this class?</p>
