<p>From: CC

Major: Anthropology
Major Prerequisites: Finishing once class in spring
IGETC: Done by spring 2013
GPA: 3.74 or 3.72 I forget</p>
<p>Took a year off to work due to personal and financial problems. Currently in two research programs regarding Anthropology, one cultural and the other archeological. I will be a published writer by the end of 2013 (unless the work gets backed up by a year which I can see happening). My only concern is I’ve only taken 20 units (20 quarters units from UCI extension and 7 units from my CC). I’m taking the rest this semester at 3 different community colleges and I believe this will be the one factor to hold me back. Does anybody know if I have a chance? I am an Anthropology major so it’s not like my course work is hard I’m mostly doing IGETC stuff and online humanities/psych. </p>
<p>Also, for 2 of my community colleges I haven’t started yet and I’m waitlisted for some classes which I placed on TAU. If I end up having a slightly different schedule but finish IGETC and my pre-reqs will I still get accepted. Or more likely wait listed? And if I do get wait listed is it possible to petition it for an acceptance? I’m looking more towards that angle so that I can show my transcripts as a reason for my acceptance. Anyway sorry this is long.</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Not sure about UCB, maybe waitlisted? But the other ones I’m sure you will get in especially if you can explain one bad semester</p>

I have a question about Anthropology at UCLA, how impacted is it now? I want to transfer but I’ve only completed 20 units, completing the rest this semester at 2 different colleges. How badly is that going to affect me? I will finish IGETC and pre-reqs as well as do two different anthropological research programs and be a published writer under my Anthropology professor. If I mention this to UCLA will I have a shot to be at least waitlisted?</p>
<p>@ sithlord: Anthro is not really an impacted major and from your GPA I would say that you have a great if not definite chance at being accepted. Mention your publishing/research stuff in your PS it will definitely help. What do you mean by 20 units? So you are completing another 40 this semester at various schools? I don’t understand.</p>
<p>@iDizzle</p>
<p>Yeah I have only completed 20 units which is what I’m worried about. I was going to do another year but since I’d already taken a year off from school I thought I should just try to do 40 units in spring and apply this past fall. And I’m enrolled in 3 different community colleges this spring. Yeah I mentioned the research I was doing in my PC.</p>
<p>^I hope you realize that you need 60 semester units, which is the equivalent of 90 quarter units to be able to transfer to a UC. From your previous couple posts it sounds like you’re speaking in reference to achieving 60 quarter units, which wouldn’t be enough. I think that’s probably what confused iDizzle slightly because 40 semester units in one semester isn’t really practical, even for the brightest students. Most CCCs are on the semester system so that’s why many people refer to the requirement as 60 semester units, instead of 90 quarter units. That’s what I had assumed you meant initially until I noticed you took units through UCI extension which are obviously on a quarter system.</p>
<p>EDIT: Disregard that, it seems you’re aware after I’ve reread your first post. But that’s remarkable if it’s true. You’re taking 40 units in your spring semester at multiple community colleges? That doesn’t even sound logistically possible. Amazing. I’d love to see what your schedule is like. It really seems completely unfeasible to me unless close to half of those are online classes.</p>
<p>@ Sithlord: 40 units in one semester is absolutely nuts! Well, good luck to you! I can’t understand how its even physically possible unless you are taking a lot of online classes like dilapidated said. LOL. So on the TAU did you put IP for 40 units worth of classes? Again, I don’t know how you’re going to do it but I hope the quality of your grades don’t suffer because of the quantity this semester. If you keep up the 3.7 though I doubt you will have anything to worry about. If it looks like you won’t be able to do it than I would suggest just staying at CCC another year. I mean hell, I took 5 years off due to personal and financial problems so you’re not behind at all. LOL. Worse case would be that you pass all your classes but with mediocre grades.</p>
<p>Seeing as you are taking more than half of your CCC units in one semester, are you going to be taking your basic math and English requirement this semester as well?</p>
<p>@dilapidatedmind @iDizzle</p>
<p>I’m taking 16 units in person and the rest are all online. Also the community colleges don’t start at the same time so my exams aren’t aligned which works out in my favor. I finished English through UCI extension and got an B+. A- and A-. As for math I’m taking stats now. If it’s too much for me I’m willing to admit defeat and drop some classes but luckily for me most of my classes, excluding stats and Hebrew, are really easy. I also quit my job so this is what I spend most of my time doing.</p>
<p>I was wondering if anybody did something similar and transferred?</p>
<p>^I’m really not sure how the UC’s are going to evaluate you. For someone in your position you’re a very high risk applicant because you have very little academic history for them to judge you on. That and right now you’re taking a remarkable courseload that you haven’t shown you can handle yet. In hindsight, I think your best strategy to transfer in a year would’ve been to try this courseload in the Fall so that you would’ve had 40 units already completed and then to have taken the last 20 units now in spring. That way, there wouldn’t be much speculation on the part of the UC’s in assuming you can handle all the courses in your spring term.</p>
<p>There’s just a lot to speculate about your application that I really don’t see you having a great chance at being admitted to those UC’s. Ideally, they really like to see applicants that are prepared early that finish those requirements as soon as possible. That’s why they have programs like TAG to reward applicants that finish their requirements early on. They really don’t want to guess whether you’ll achieve certain grades or maintain your GPA in the spring term and in your situation you’ll have more units in progress than you’ll have actual grades when they review your application. Anyway, I think one thing you really have in your favor is that it sounds like you’ve already finished most of your major pre-reqs. I think what will happen if you’re admitted is that you’ll receive a very detailed provisional contract that instructs you to get specific grades in certain courses and maintain a very specific GPA. I’ve never heard of anyone take that many units in their last term even after 3 years of being on this site. I’m sorry for the slightly pessimistic response, but I still wish you the best of luck. When the decisions are out please come back and let us know what happens.</p>

<p>@dilapidatedmind</p>
<p>I was actually hoping to get waitlisted. I should have been more clear about that. I thought if I get waitlisted and maintained a 3.5 plus GPA this spring I would have a good shot. Also, I heard that you could petition a rejection and I was going to wait until my grades to see about doing that. Although if I don’t transfer this fall I’ve already applied to a year abroad program in France so I’m excited for that. I just want as many options for this Fall.</p>

I think you have a great shot for those schools. 3.8 might be a little low for Berk but if it was only due to one grade I’m sure they will take that into consideration.</p>
<p>@sithlord
Berkeley and UCLA do not waitlist students. UCSD and UCI have done so off and on in recent years, with last year both schools waitlisting somewhere between ~500-1000 applicants. You can appeal, but it’s very very very rare that applicants have their decisions reversed at either UCLA or Berkeley. For UCI in 2012 there were 228 appeals and only 13 reversals and at UCSD there were 216 appeals and 47 reversals. Also, most of the appeals are due around mid-May, which is earlier than most CC’s finish their spring term. If you do have your spring grades by then know that using winter/spring grades is a pretty common strategy and from what I heard generally isn’t a compelling reason for them to reverse their decision. However, in your case because your application would be so drastically different it might be. Appeals for UCLA are due on May 18th this year, I don’t know if Berkeley has released a date, but last year it was May 15th.<br>
