<p>How many units do I need from a quarter system community college to be able to transfer in a year? What classes am I going to need to take? On an average how many classes will I have to take?</p>
<p>Is it smarter to go to a 4 year private and then transfer where I want? This way I would be able to get the classes I want. Money is not the biggest issue, but it still is a factor. Not that its not affordable, but UOP is $34,000 after financial aid. One way or another I could find a way to pay for it.</p>
<p>How were your HS grades / standardized scores? What schools did you have in mind?</p>
<p>3.3 gpa and 1950SAT</p>
<p>thinking of going into business. but i would like to stay in california so, probably one of the UCs or any private good for business (ex: USC). would not shut the door completely on out of state like nyu.</p>
<p>For any UCs, you are required to have 60 semester units/90 quarter units done or in progress for your application to be deemed eligible. You can look at the link below for more information regarding UC transfers. Also, going to a California Community College would assist you as all UCs place priority on CCC students.</p>

<p>As far as NYU, I asked about HS grades and scores because if you apply as a Sophomore those scores will be weighed more on your application. If you apply as a Junior, your scores will still have significance but your college grades will matter more. In addition, there are numerous prerequisites you have to take.</p>
<p>USC is similar but if you have 30 credits at the time of your application, they will waive your HS grades/ scores. You still need to submit your HS transcript but they will not take them into account. NYU has a similar policy where if you have accumulated over 30 units, they will waive the standardize score requirement.</p>
<p>on average how many courses is 60 semester/90 quarter units?</p>
<p>Depends. Most classes are 3 units. Meaning a 3 credit course which meets two times a week for a total of 3 hours. Classes such as Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics tend to carry 4 units.</p>
<p>Generally, accumulating 60 semester units takes 2 years. Therefore, when you transfer you will be entering as a Junior. Some people load up. I’ve heard of people taking 30+ units in a semester. That seems a bit too much. </p>
<p>I would go with 4-5 classes a semester. That will range from 14-17 credits. Currently, I’m taking 5 classes which adds up to 16 credits. Next semester, another 5 classes which will add up to 17 credits. Also take advantage of summer and winter intersessions if possible.</p>
<p>Mitch (or anyone else), How many classes do you recommend to take over the summer, and which class(es) would you recommend to take specifically?</p>
<p>Take a minimum full course load if you can handle it (12 semester units) which is what I’m doing.<br>
I would advise you to not take anything TOO challenging or intense, because it’ll already be an accelerated class. Take things that fulfill transfer requirements, but which you’ll find manageable. I.e., if you’re good at science, take a science class, etc.</p>
<p>
I would advise against taking math or science related classes. Too much material covered in a limited span of time. Try taking general education courses such as Psychology, English, or History (etc). My first college course was Western Civilization during the summer. Course was only a month long and met three times a week. My grade consisted of the midterm and final.</p>
<p>This past winter, I took Western Civilization II. Same deal. Grade consisted of 10 short papers and the final.</p>
