<p>hmm... I really need some helps, but I can't seem to find any other one year UC transfer students... ._. not even in my own cc... Can anyone give some opinions?</p>
<p>So I took g-chem 1 and 2 at Boston Univ this past summer, got A- and B+, and Calc 1 at UCSC online calc 2 at boston unvi, got A and A-. Assuming my classes are transferable (very likely), I have a current gpa of 3.66... (15.3 transferable units, 3 nontransferable units)
I'm pretty positive I can get straight As in CC this semester right now which would boost my gpa to around 3.87...
I want to major in biochemistry and want to get into either UC Irvine, UC Davis, UCLA, or UCB...
Right now I'm taking o-chem1, g-phy1, bio11, eng1a, linear alg, and health science (24 units)..
and winter I would take eng1b, poli science, music
and spring I would take bio12, ochem-2, g-phy2, diff equn, calc3..
If everything goes according to plan, I would end up with around 3.93 before transfering. and I would have all my major preq classes and IGETC done. I can even get my associate done.</p>
<p>what are the actual realistic chances in this? would I survive this heavy load?</p>
<p>additional info: I took chspe and getting out high school after sophomore year… I took seven APs during soph year, ap chem, bio, both phyC, cal AB, world history, and Chinese. got 5 in chem, phyC-mech, chinese,calcAB, 4 in bio, and 3 in world history and phyC-e and m…</p>
<p>I don’t think g-phy would be a problem for me since I’m really good at it… </p>
<p>if I’m really able to transfer in a year, I would be graduating with my BS in biochem at the age of 19…</p>
<p>edit: sorry for typos… English is not my first language.</p>
<p>Seems like a tough schedule, but if you buckle down and study, you should be OK. If you can raise your GPA to 3.7+, you’ll be in good shape to transfer to the top UCs. </p>
<p>There are many other one-year transfers on this forum who can give you better advice than I can, though. </p>
<p>@Cayton thanks for the quick reply… another question
would UCs such as UCLA evaluate courses from out-of-state universities before application, during application evaluation, or after acceptance?</p>
<p>They have to articulate your classes before an admission decision, so that they can determine whether you have met the prerequisites, GE requirements and the correct number of units. However you’re likely not going to know the results of the articulation, unless you’ve actually been accepted. </p>
<p>If you were to be denied, then you could ask why, and try to determine if maybe a course or two that was needed did not articulate. You could then possibly file an appeal and try to provide information that would show them that the class or classes you took are in fact similar enough to a UC course.</p>
<p>In my experience, the UCs, as well as other schools, carefully evaluate all coursework submitted by transferring students, so you can’t assume that all of your coursework will transfer. (What is your major?)
That’s assuming that you even get the chance of being admitted,</p>
<p>If you are from OOS, you chances go down, but if you are full fee, you are at a slight advantage. Priorities are for CALIFORNIA resident taxpayers’ families, who pay for the universities.</p>
<p>The UC’s don’t take many transfers unless they are coming from California community colleges that have articulation agreements with the universities.</p>
<p>Here’s my question to you, if you don’t plan on staying for a regular length of time at the university, why would any UC admit you? Part of being admitted is belonging and participating to/in the university. Things like LOR from professors who know you, on-campus clubs, on campus jobs that provide references are part of that experience.</p>
<p>I would suggest that you continue to take online classes somewhere that allows that type of education, since you want to have a BS at 19 without regard for any contact with people.</p>
<p>@aunt bea
I’m actually in state student… all those classes I took are during summer session which don’t count… I’m in a California CC right now and I always have been in California except during summer (also California High School)…
Those fall, winter, and spring classes would all transfer… I’m just worrying about those 12 units that I took out of state…</p>
<p>How many essays we actually need to write? because I looked up on UC website there are two prompts, but on their “transfer quicky start guide” there is one more prompt after the 2nd prompt: </p>
<p>Following the personal statement, there’s a section called Additional Comments. Use this space
— up to 550 words — to tell us anything you want us to know about you that you don’t have the
opportunity to describe elsewhere in the application.</p>
<p>Additional comments is not meant to be an essay even though you can write up to 500 words. It’s mainly to fill in anything in the app that needs explaining, maybe a gap in education, a lot of Ws. It may be as simple as a few sentences. Many, if not most, keep it blank. </p>
