<p>Hey, I graduated High School last year and I am just starting out at a community college this January. I'm taking 19 units this semester, and I plan on taking 19 units again next semester. My question is this: Do I need to complete my 60 semester units before I am even able to apply to UCLA once the application period opens again? Or will I be able to apply with approximately 40-50 semester units since I would be on track to complete the required 60 by Spring?</p>
<p>If that doesn't make sense let me try explaining another way.
UCLA only accepts applications one time a year, the deadline of which ends around the end of November. These applicants are for the NEXT year's fall class (September-December). I want to know if I am able to apply THIS year when I will only have about 40-50 semester units completed by the end of the fall quarter. Because then the following spring I will be able to complete the last 10-20 units I need to complete the transfer requirements.</p>
<p>I'm sorry this is so confusing, I'm just completely confused and I've been researching this for the past week now. Please respond, any help is appreciated. Thank you so much.</p>
<p>If you won’t have at least 60 units by the time you transfer, you’re considered a lower-division applicant, and your high school stats are relevant. </p>
<p>If you will have 60+ by the time you transfer (Spring), then you’re upper division applicant, and only your college credit counts.</p>
<p>You can apply for the following year as long as you have at least 30 completed units.</p>
<p>Another question is whether you need to complete all the transfer requirements or if you will be able to complete any of them after admission. For instance, I was looking into transferring with a Math/Applied Mathematics. For that it outlines two years of calculus for the major, an introductory course in C++, two courses in calculus-based physics (mechanics, electricity, and magnetism), and one course in general chemistry for the major or a third course in calculus-based physics.
Would I be able to transfer with 1 year of calculus, intro course to C++, a course in calc based physics, and the general chemistry course? Or would I need to complete all aspects of the requirements before being able to be considered for that major?</p>
<p>UCLA’s Applied Math major is no walk in the park. Prereq will most certainly come into play and you missing a very good portion of what they are asking is going to hurt. Give it a shot, you never know. But do not be surprised if you are rejected.</p>
<p>I understand the want of getting in and out of CC quickly but sometimes getting everything completed and completed with good grades is way more important.</p>
To give you a straight answers, yes, that’s how it works. I applied to UC’s during November 2012 with 46 units completed. I will complete the other 14 during Spring 2013.</p>
