Requirements for UCLA Transfer??

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

Hi, I’m a sophomore in Washington University in St. Louis, and I’m posting this question out of desperation. I feel like I won’t be able to fulfill the classes I need to take by spring of sophomore year in order to qualify to apply to UCLA as a transfer.

I thought I wouldn’t be accepted into the Engineering School, so I am thinking of applying for the Mathematics of Computation major. But M of Computation also asks for me to have completed “intermediate/advanced C++ programming and one discrete structures course,” and all the programming I’ve done is Comp Sci 1, which was in Java.

Even if I start taking C++ next spring, it seems like I won’t be able to fulfill the req. It seems like not many students would have completed C++ to an intermediate/advanced level by sophomore year…does this req really disqualify you from applying??? Same goes for the major’s General Chemistry requirement; I didn’t take GenChem and it seems like I won’t be able to in the future. Should I give up on UCLA and move on? Thanks in advance.

I cannot move your thread, but I would ask your questions in the UC Transfer thread linked here: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/

If these courses are required and you cannot complete them by Spring 2019, then I would say your chances are very slim. Also as an OOS transfer applicant, you are given the lowest priority so it would be in your best interests to complete all the required and some of the recommended courses if you plan to transfer to UCLA.
