<p>I passed my English language and comp. and US history AP tests--but I passed both with a 3. If I want to transfer to UCLA or UCB, is it better if I just take English 101 and US History and get good grades, or simply skip both because I passed the AP tests?</p>
<p>i just skipped them -- u can do other things to fill your igetc. but htese also count towards your igetc so why waste time? make sure the credit articulates to your CC though -- talk to your CC counselor about that.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity rshaan, have you already transferred?</p>
<p>well i just got into ucla, uci, and ucsd -- ucb tomorow </p>
<p>(lol i was as paranoid when i was getting into the transfer business as you must be now, thats why i was excited to see your post and responded relatively quickly) </p>
<p>what major are you doing?</p>
<p>Well I'm glad someone relates to my paranoia :)</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in comparative literature, which is not very popular I've come to discover, hehe. I know that since it's not an impacted major I have a better chance at tranferring, but I'm still very, very paranoid.</p>
<p>What scores did you receive on your AP scores and what are you majoring in? (Sorry if I'm drilling you with questions!)</p>
<p>np man,
3- eng lit, eng lang, stats, gov
4- calc ab, us history</p>
<p>start hammering out your IGETC and do it as efficiently as possible, take the easiest classes (ratemyprofessors, coursehero or w/e that new grade ranking system is) and etc, dont work too hard!!</p>
<p>and of course, get A's -- don't walk into a class thinking you'll do any less than that. TAP if you can. </p>
<p>other than that, get a job and a girlfriend.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice rshaan--except for the girlfriend part since I myself am a straight female, lol.</p>
<p><em>scratches head</em> oh err lol okay sorry about that... so watch anything good on tv recently? im usually not one for mtv but i started watching The Paper</p>
<p>Hmm I don't really watch MTV but a friend of mine told me about that show (I'm an editor of my school paper, something I highly regret). I'm really into The Office, though.</p>
<p>haha yess i would blame my newspaper participation as the reason I ended up at a CC, i did it for 2.5yrs in high school. </p>
<p>the office is hilarious! i didn't really like the first episode this 'season' bc i thought it concentrated too much on michael's life outside the office, making it awkward and exaggerated more than anything else. the last two were exceptional, though. </p>
<p>what high school?</p>
<p>I've been part of the school paper for about 2 years now. I thought it was fun for the first few months, but then my advisor and the editors made me write the crappy stories that no one else would do. And then I was pressured into being an editor, and blah blah blah. </p>
<p>But I wouldn't say that I'm attending a ccc because of newspaper. I blame it on my inability to do math. How was your experience with the school paper?</p>
<p>loool inability to do math? </p>
<p>i really enjoyed it -- up until the last year at least. It was an amazing and creative environment to work in and the people were all really awesome. I was the photo editor / a photographer. The last year, though, the teacher screwed me over... </p>
<p>what section are you editor of?</p>
