<p>I am a santa barbara city college student trying to transfer to UCLA, UCSD or UC Berkeley for Chemical Engineering. My GPA is 3.63 and I have all the requirements and much more for transfering.</p>
<p>I plan to take Summer Quarter at UCSB to get ahead in Organic Chemistry no matter what school I get in. If I include this in my update application would it make it stronger or weaker? Would the other school think UCSB is my favorite just because I plan to take summer quarter there or it has no influence? Would it make it stronger because they will see that I plan to take summer classes to get ahead? Bottom line, should I include this when I update my application or not?</p>
<p>I applied to UCSB but I have no intention on transfering there, I just wanna take the summer quarter so I have time to spend with my friends before moving somewhere.</p>
<p>Thank you guys</p>
<p>Do you need O chem in order to transfer? If so, then you should include it so they don’t reject you based on lack of requirements. If not, then I wouldn’t add it. I don’t think it will hurt or help you, but that’s my opinion. </p>
<p>I’m at UCSB right now trying to get out as well haha UCLA and Berk are very different in terms of people, what are you leaning towards?</p>
<p>SBCC I heard the chicks are pretty hot there! (i am from santa ynez just over the hill) From what I know all the UC’s do not take classes taken the summer before transferring into consideration. That is why they always say complete the pre reqs by spring. I would also check out whether taking a class at a UC while effect you getting into school at another UC. I have heard that once you are accepted at one UC you can not take classes from a 4 year uni, only from the CC you are transferring too. If you do that could void your acceptance. This is what I have heard so dont kill the messenger.</p>
