<p>Hey everybody, look If i get straight A's for the rest of the year, I'll be looking at a 3.83 (excluding my remedial math and two college classes that I took in high school because I don't know if they calculate that into either). Now I'm joining the speech & debate team, and they offered me taking 5 extra classes which would be 12 more units, just for competing. So i was wondering taking on this load of units on to my original set up classes wouldn't be that difficult to begin with. I'm at 13 units with my fall schedule, so it would be 25. Now if I get A's in those extra 12, that will raise my gpa to a 3.86, would any of you consider this worth the extra .03 ???? So If i took this Speech chunk of classes, I will have 72 units by the fall. I transfer into next fall's class. So let me know if you think it's worth it. I wanna go into law, so I guess I can answer the oddity of seeing several speech classes in my curriculum and that it's not my major. Also do privates calculate your gpa any differently then the Uc's ??? But Please, just let me know if you think it's worth pursuing???</p>

<p>I took care of that, man. I called in to a lot of schools, dont worry about it-just send those classes along in with the transcript. </p>
<p>", I will have 72 units by the fall. I transfer into next fall's class."</p>
<p>you're mainly only allowed to transfer like 60 semester and 90 quarter. if you exceed a certain limit, i think they begin to discount the classes...and considering how you've taken units before, i'd advise against it because you might be teetering on a really tough edge.</p>

<p>privates dont have pre-law...but if you're goin for pre-law for uc's, check thier reqs. once you've fulfilled the rest of thier reqs, you should be competitive with your g.p.a-although around 45 percent of it will be based on essay+ec's for uc's, and privates will give a little more weight to high school grades and SAT scores. If i was you, if you didnt get above a 1400, depending on the university, I would generally re-take it.</p>
<p>"Also do privates calculate your gpa any differently then the Uc's ???"</p>
<p>yeah, they sort of do. they have ambiguous requirements as to what courseload they want to see, but generally you should have a full load of calc, and english, and some science classes, regardless of your major-but the rest of your classes depends on which major you want to go into, since you have to fulfill 'that specific' university's major lower-division requirements. </p>
<p>hope it helped.</p>
