Spend more than 2 years in CCC ~ will it affect my chance?

Transfer Students
21

<p>oh crap! cardinal, are you saying that if one's no a full time student at CC, it will affect their chances of gettting in uc???? cuz right now, i only have 6 units! and only 3 units are transferrable. this is my first sem at csm btw.</p>

22

<p>I'm staying a 3rd year, and believe me, I made sure it was OK with UCLA that I do that. It won't affect your chances, but please make sure you made the most out of your 3 or more years at a CCC.</p>

23

<p>right now i am in my third year (5th semester) but after this semester i will have 64 units both igetc and pre-req done. I really dont want to go to school for the spring sem; will that affect me at all.
I also wnat to know if it will effect me if i only take 3 or so units next sem, (just for a fun gpa booster).</p>

24

<p>Yeah try obtaining some internship or work. Just do something.</p>

25

<p>I was in community college for three years it didn't affect me. I just transferred to UCLA this fall.</p>

26

<p>I'm talking about UCB too</p>

<p>Any UCB here?</p>

27

<p>no UCBs here. they all got rejected</p>

28

<p>The counselor from UCB said at a transfer info session that it is ok to take more then two years. What doesn't look good is when you are taking 1-2 classes a semester. They want to see that you actually challenged yourself.</p>

29

<p>OH?
do I get a gpa boost if I take 6 classes?!?!</p>

30

<p>LOL I wish but no a full schedule is expected</p>

<p>From the responses i've read from the adcom, I can presume that taking 6 classes will give you a GPA boost. Not literally of course. The statement that I presumed from pretty much said that they will look at your GPA in light of the course load, having a job, EC's, and other factors.</p>

37

<p>Forget the question I asked Cardinal. lol.</p>

<p>UCB reviewed my application again and then proceeded to defer my admission to UCM.</p>
