Has anybody ever taken 3 different math classes and 1 physics class? here is my plan for fall 2022
- CALC 3
- DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
- LINEAR ALGEBRA
- PHYSICS
The reason I’m doing this is to get as many classes done before application.
Yes, some have, but your reason for so doing is all wrong. It won’t help your college application.

It would help others help you better if you gave some more context, like your intended major, when you intend to apply as a transfer student to where, and what other courses you have completed or will take.
What year are you in college, what’s your current major, where are you looking to transfer to? And why?
Do you LOVE math?
Yes I enjoy it
finishing freshman year, computer science, Im looking to transfer for Mathematics of computation at UCLA, because it is my dream university.
I intent to apply in fall 2022 to UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI
For UCLA, UCB, and UCSD I will apply for mathematics of computation. However, at UCB I will apply for applied maths. For the rest, I will apply for computer science.
Next semester I’m taking CALC 1, ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE, C++, PYTHON, some art classes.
Super! If you have good profs, go for it. Although to do all that math in one go I would suggest a little more love.
Good luck transferring to UCLA.

Thank you.
Another thing, the reason I want to do that, is because they won’t see my GPA for my last semester which will be spring 2023. I will be taking physics 2 and 3. So, I’m trying to squeeze in as much as possible for fall 2022(semester I will be applying to UCLA)
Do you intend to take Calc 2 over the summer? I don’t think you have taken enough math already to establish that you would be OK with such a math heavy semester next year.
So your proposed schedule would be?
Fall 2021: calculus 1, assembly language, C++, Python, art courses
Spring 2022: calculus 2, ?
Fall 2022: calculus 3, linear algebra, differential equations, physics ?
Spring 2023: ?
If you have not already, you may want to check https://www.assist.org to see what courses you need to transfer to each target UC / CSU and major, assuming that you are starting at a California community college.
Fall 2021: (right now) PRE-CAL 2, ENGL 202, PSYC 100, ECON Macro
Spring 2022: calculus 1, assembly language, C++, Python, art courses
Summer: calc 2
Fall 2022: calculus 3, linear algebra, differential equations, physics 1
Spring 2023: physics 2, physics 3
Yes, I did check out those are courses I need to take. Do they try to predict the GPA I will get in spring 2023 and then account for it in their decision for admission? the reason I’m asking is because they will make the decision before spring 2023 is over.
Yeah I know. It is not the most effective choice. However, if I dont apply by fall 2022. Then I will need to apply by fall 2023. Meaning that I will start UCLA or whatever UC i get into, until fall 2024.
I see. I’d maybe try to take Linear Algebra over the summer alongside Calc 2. And then take Calc 3 and Differential Equations in the fall of 2022. Or just not take Diff. Eq. until after you transfer. Sorry if I missed it but what is your reasoning for taking all that math Fall 2022?
The reason I need to take all that math by 2022 is to boost my gpa after that semester is over, which will improve my chances, and because from what I have heard, UC’s like seeing as many prerequisites finished before they make their decision to accept or not. Is this correct or am I wrong?

Thanks for your idea btw.

They will obviously not have grades for those spring 2023 courses, but admission will be contingent on earning high enough grades or GPA in in-progress courses. Obviously, if you have unfulfilled requirements before spring 2023, then the courses in spring 2023 need to complete those requirements.
