<p>Hey everyone, I wanted to know if it is any disadvantage that I am an international student (just finished high school) and I planning on going to a community college in Caifornia because I also want to transfer in one year. I want to major in biology and preferrably apply to UCLA once the year is over and I have all pre-reqs.
Is it possible to do this?</p>
<p>Hi I want to major in biology and want to transfer to hopefully UCLA in one year. Ive got 21 units from AP tests, and I was wondering how and what classes to take in order to achieve this. Sorry, but what are pre-reqs for bio majors? I wanna become a pharmacist.</p>
<p>Did you take AP Chem? If you haven’t, you pretty much have to do it in two years. Also it’s really hard to do Bio in one year. If you taken AP chem, I think it’s possible to knock it out but it’ll be VERY difficult. You’ll have to take a year of bio, physics, ochem and calc and what ever GEs are left, not recommend for bio majors or prepharm since grades are very important. But if you think you can handle it, then go for it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would try to get into pharmacy school straight out of CC.</p>
<p>I’m at Mt. Sac with roughly 25 credits from AP.
In the middle of 3 credits for the summer.
22 in the fall
7 in the Winter
18-22 in the Spring
Looking to transfer to Cal, UCLA, Harvard, Yale, or MIT for a degree in Economics/International Relations and a minor in Chinese.</p>
<p>I just transferred out of Mt. Sac to Berkeley after one year. I went in with five AP tests, only four of which I actually received credit for. This amounted to 15.8 semester units, or 24 quarter units. Your biggest difficulty will be getting classes; with the reintroduction of the waitlist system, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for new students to get the classes they need.</p>
<p>That being said, if you actually get the classes, and maintain a good GPA, you shouldn’t have any trouble transferring to any UC. Harvard, Yale, and MIT are another story. Their transfer rates are dismally low, and you have to show something beyond extraordinary to even be considered. The only Ivy League that has a decent acceptance rate is Cornell, and its a sub-par Ivy.</p>
<p>@ Jetforce, usually 1 or 2 (that’s being generous) community college transfers make it to Yale. The application is long and very time-consuming. No matter how high your stats are, it’s a huge reach.</p>
<p>@itransfer, How would i do so?</p>
<p>How does this work? By the time you submit your application on the 31st, you have basically ZERO (AP credits and summer courses at most) grades to submit. Besides of course high school grades, but if you didn’t make it the first time around, chances are, you wouldn’t make it the second time with basically the same stats.</p>
<p>Do you preemptively submit your app and send in the grades (and hope they are adequate) as they come?</p>
<p>Oh and, how heavily factored are HS records in one year transfers? I have 4 units so far, and 18 units lined up for fall and am planning to take another 18 in the spring. 5 AP tests all with 5s (APush, APLang, APbio, APES and APAH)- that should get me to 60 units. I had a 3.0 gpa in HS and a decent SAT (2170)- assuming I were to get all A’s in my courses (that’s 12-13 of them, assuming they only see 7 from summer/fall) do I even have a shot at the upper UCs?</p>
<p>Just for some background I have a 2380 cumulative SAT and am coming out of HS with 4s and 5s on 7 AP exams. Just had some family issues in high school which dropped my GPA too much to go to my top choices. I have 22 credits lined up for fall and got 3 credits out of the way in summer, so I’m on track for IGETC and major-prereqs at the privates.</p>
<p>@arrogant</p>
<p>Keep in mind, your high school GPA and SAT scores bear no weight on your transfer application. You are correct in saying that the UCs will see virtually nothing on your application aside from your AP scores, what types of awards you have won, the classes you plan to take, and of course, your essay. However, in late January they ask for an update on your fall semester grades, and in my case, a month or so later, they also requested my winter grades. </p>
<p>What I feel helped me most in my admission to Cal was my 'AP Scholar with Distinction" award, which you should have (and mention) as well. So yes, you have a good shot at an upper UC, depending on your major.</p>
<p>@JetLogic</p>
<p>Again, although that is an impressively high SAT score, I’m really hesitant to say that it’ll grant you a spot in an Ivy League as a transfer student. Mind you, you should definitely apply, but be aware of the odds. </p>
<p>Good luck getting classes at the grossly overcrowded Sac.</p>
<p>@adam</p>
<p>To get this straight. They have basically ONE semester (and a few supplementary sessions, summer/winter) of grades to base their decision off of? Of course there’s APs, but again, those are in the past and might not be indicative of your current performance.</p>
<p>That’s insane. I can’t imagine the transfer rate for 1 year kids into the top UC’s is all that hot given what a risk it must be to take them on.</p>
<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p>I’ll be entering SMC this fall, do you think I’ll be able to transfer to UCLA, USC, or CSULA in an year?</p>
<p>I’m an international student and a nursing major.</p>
<p>I’ve taken the following with 3,4,5s, and am an AP Scholar with Distinction. </p>
<p>World History
US History
Psychology
European History
English Language
Art History
English Literature
Art Studio
Biology
Spanish</p>
<p>I have a 3.9 GPA from High School and 2120 on the SAT (although it seems that this would not be taken into consideration).</p>
<p>Competition for nursing is fierce (or so I’ve heard); should I change my major to Biochemistry, Psychology, or Neuroscience and go back for a nursing degree later? </p>
<p>I haven’t been assigned a counselor yet, so I am quite lost. </p>
<p>BTW, because of some complications with enrolling, I wasn’t accepted until after the deadline for the Scholars Program. Will this jeopardize chances of acceptance badly?</p>
<p>I’m so encouraged by the existence of this thread though! :)</p>
<p>How many people actually got in as a one year transfer?
They basically only have your summer courses and AP to base off of, as ARROGANT said. So… isn’t it a huge risk? they pretty much know NOTHING about you…
Anyways, do high school senior rewards count? Because i am in the Academic Decathlon of my school, and I anticipate a few medals :).</p>
<p>I got in UC Davis as a one year transfer.
Many from CC got in UCLA and UC Berkeley as a one year transfer 
If you browse through this thread, I remember that everyone successfully got in. I feel like the admission is actually more impressed with transferring in one year.
Yes, it’s still a huge risk but it’s worth it, challenging yourself !</p>
<p>thanks for the answer nyc_dream1.</p>
<p>But does anyone know if you can use high school awards in your application? or is it just your college resume?</p>
<p>And i’m pretty sure high school grades do not count for UC right? You don’t send them?</p>
