Should I try this? (Many many units)

<p>Right now I'm taking my first 16 units, I was planning on taking just 34 this year and then jamming the last 26 in summer and fall. But now I realize that I want out of my house! I want to make it to UCLA immediately. </p>

<p>If I apply this year, is it possible to make it by Fall 09 with this game plan?</p>

<p>16 Units-Fall 08
11-Winter 09
22-Spring 09
11-summer 09</p>

<p>Will I still be able to apply for Fall 09 with so few units completed at the time of application? </p>

<p>I'm honestly bummed out that I only get to spend 2 years at UCLA though, is there any way to stretch my college life another year by double majoring?</p>

<p>I know these are pretty random questions! thanks</p>

<p>You need all 60 units completed by the end of the spring semester which from your plans looks like it won't happen.</p>

3

<p>And If I integrate those 11 units from Summer into Spring and Winter? Is it near suicidal? Should I attempt it if I'm confident and drop my classes by the 3rd week if it seems overwhelming?</p>

<p>Does that mean 16 units in the winter and 28 units in the spring? Not going to happen. Most people that transfer in one year usually 1) have a significant amount of units from taking cc classes in high school and/or transferring AP credit; and 2) take more than 16 units in the fall.</p>

<p>I don't think it's going to happen for you. Wait until next year.</p>

<p>getting things done fast is one thing....but its gonna kill your gpa alongside your already low chance of getting into ucla</p>

<p>Also it so many units , UCLA won't think you will be able to do that many units.</p>

7

<p>You COULD transfer those 11 units to the spring and winter, but then you wouldn't be able to transfer. Why? One of two reasons:</p>

<p>A. You'll fail one of your classes, falling you short of the 60 units.
B. Your GPA would be too bad to get into UCLA anyway. Maybe start thinking of somewhere that's not UCLA if you're that desperate to transfer out?</p>

8

<p>Take a chill pill and do the extra year. =)</p>

9

<p>I'm just going to do it by Winter '10 then, its near impossible enough doing this as it is. </p>

<p>Whats a decent GPA to have for UCLA anyways? I'm shooting for a 4.0 but have a B in a math class that i might opt to W for an easy A.</p>

10

<p>Is it a transferable math class?</p>

<p>And for the GPA it depends on the major. Go here UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Transfer Students, Fall 2008 and scroll down to "By Program" and you'll get your answer.</p>

<p>unless youre willing to dedicate ALL your free time to school then i would say the 11 in the short semesters and 22 in long is impossible. i would highly advise the extra year or consider a private school.</p>

12

<p>Yeah it was transferrable. Is that bad?!</p>

First of all:
Ucla no long accepts winter admissions says on their website
Second if you wanted to transfer that badly you should have taken courses during summer '08 and taken more units during fall so you won't have to overload yourself during winter, and spring. i got a buddy who took 12 units during summer so it is POSSIBLE with a lot of hard work. I believe if you want to do it then go for it, remember though you would be cramming two years worth of units into one so it will be rigourous and pretty much academic suicide.
So you would have to dedicate all your time to school!! But if you're a intelligent hardworking individual then by all means go for it! Just make a intelligent decision</p>
