Question about transferring high Gpa vs. Pre-reqs complete..

<p>Hello I am a CC student applying to transfer this fall to UC's. My plan this fall was to finish my math pre reqs and chem 1A and obtain a 4.0 these two semesters. It is so important for me to have a 4.0 this two semesters because my Gpa is not great. I have 3.35 Gpa currently. By taking 19 units and working hard to obtain a 4.0 this semester I will have 3.5 by fall. I have a problem though, I enrolled to take chem 1a class with a really great professor. I took chemistry in Highschool but still really need review on the material and concepts. However last minute my class schedule changed and now I have a different professor. The professor I originally enrolled to take chem with last minute switched to teach chem 1 at a different time. Now I have a professor that actually teaches chem 2b and has never taught chem 1a before. There is also no curve for an A in his class. I'm really scared that even I put in all my effort I will end up with a B in the class. I can still drop the class right now without receiving a withdrawal. But chem 1 is major pre req for my major so If I don't complete it and take another class instead I can't go on too chem 2. I love chemistry and really want to take the class but if I get a B my gpa will be 3.44 by the end of fall. Should I take chem 1 in the spring with the professor I originally wanted? Do you guys have any suggestions or advice on what I should do? It's so important for me to get a 4.0 this semester. Will not having chem 2 completed make me less competitive? Here is my schedule this fall: pre cal, stats, chem 1, foreign lang, and research (2units). I have already taken all my writing courses and an major pre req integrated biology course. For this spring semester I was planning on taking calc 1, chem 2, and bio 94. My Major is health science. Also this my 3rd year at CC I have always had a late registration date because I only took 3 units first semester at the college I'm currently attending (first semester I took classes at 2 CC's I took 3 ge classes and 1remedial math class at one college and 1 ge class at the college I'm currently attending). First semester of college I got 2 B's (both 89% but not rounded :/) 1 A, and 1 C in the remedial math course (harsh but good professor about 40 students dropped) and a C in a political science ge class. It's makes me really sad I haven't transferred yet I know I can do it because I know students who have had early registration dates take classes in which the classes grading system is extremely lenient/require little effort and then transfer with higher gpa's. I know this post is really long but any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you! </p>

<p>Sometimes I feel bad about my situation but man, you make me feel a lot better about myself. I’d say all you can really do is apply to all the UC’s and see what happens.</p>

<p>: / ok have you applied to any UC’s yet? Can you post your stats here? </p>
