<p>Hey guys, It's almost the end of my first year at CC and my school's summer schedule came out and I just wanted some help because I've been getting conflicting information from counselors and friends. I'm trying to transfer next year and what my understanding is the UCs treat the summer session the same as Fall and Spring right? So there would be no problem if I took the 2nd required writing course for IGETC or a pre-req course for my Poly-Sci major right? </p>
<p>Also, none of the counselors seem to give me a clear answer regarding AP credits. I passed 4 of them in high school and two of them were AP US History and AP Gov, so the UCs would count them as my major pre-req right? Would appreciate any answers thanks. </p>

<p>Will you be applying to UC Berkeley for Political Science?</p>
<p>They won’t accept your APUSH score as part of the pre-req. Same scenario happened to me. I had to take a U.S. History class instead to fulfill the pre-reqs for the Poli Sci major. </p>
<p>Wow really?? Is it just Berkeley or the other UCs too? I’m going to apply to Berkeley, LA, SD, SB, Irvine and TAG to Davis. That really sucks so my AP credits will go to waste? So you took the history class under the Poly-Sci major on Assist.org right?</p>
<p>Yes, summer school is treated like normal classes. Remember that it moves twice as fast, so don’t take on too much. Taking summer classes right before you transfer (between sophomore and junior year) isn’t included on your application at all, but between freshmen and sophomore year it’s fine.</p>
<p>AP will vary by school/major/department. You should check it on each UC’s website individually.</p>
<p>For UCLA, I know you can’t satisfy the Statistics requirement with AP Scores but I haven’t found anything on satisfying them for an American Politics class. Yeah, for Berkeley, they won’t consider those scores for the major. Kind of sucks. </p>
<p>And yeah I took the history class under assist.org. </p>
<p>Thanks @failure622 I think I’ll take the College Writing 2 course by itself I want to get it out of the way lol. How fast paced are the summer classes? Is it like a big test/essay due every week? That would be pretty intense </p>
<p>@ItsSoSunny Summer classes move twice as fast as normal ones… so taking half what you’d take in a normal semester (16 in a regular semester -> 8 during summer) usually feels like the same load, maybe slightly worse. Exactly what’s due or how often will depend on the class and professor. If you’re just taking the one class, I don’t think the pace will give you too much trouble.</p>
