<p>i plan to transfer to haas and was wondering if taking prereqs during the summer is a bad idea in anyway in terms of how they look at my app and coursework? i'm still in high school so would it matter if i took prereqs this early, say, during the school year?</p>
<p>knock yourself out</p>
<p>jfk, are you intending to go to cc after high school and then transfer to Haas?</p>
<p>yes.</p>
<p>i should also point out that the prereq will be taken from a CC other than the one i plan to go to full-time after i graduate.</p>
<p>Summer classes look exactly the same as normal classes on your transcript.</p>
<p>does that mean they can’t tell the difference between a class taken in the fall and in the summer?</p>
<p>also on assist.org it states that 3 of the breadth reqs can be taken for c/nc. does it look bad at all if i took an astronomy class for c/nc?</p>
<p>Not sure if my reply makes any sense since I’m about to go to bed.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t know whether C/NC looks bad, though I imagine it’s okay if it’s for a general ed requirement as opposed to a major requirement.</p>
<p>I don’t think it matters to them when you take a class as long as it’s before you transfer. It really depends on you personally, like whether it’d be beneficial for you to clear certain courses out of the way. I wouldn’t recommend taking, say, a major requirement over the summer unless you think the information will stay put in your head, but hey, that really depends on you. If you’re good at that kind of thing, go for it! Might be easier on you scheduling wise later on.</p>
<p>As for taking a prereq at another college…yeah, that’s not a problem either. Just make sure to send transcripts to the appropriate places when it’s time to transfer. <em>grumbles about having to request transcripts from three schools, not counting high school</em></p>
<p>The only time taking a summer course is a problem is the summer right b4 you are supposed to start at the UC. Otherwise no one cares what courses you take over the summer. So in your case you can take all the courses you want.</p>
<p>You can take C/NC just like it says, they will not look down on you but come Grad school admission time- some grad schools in order to calculate your GPA will give you a C for a credit and an F for a no credit. Law School Admission council does that.</p>
<p>Wow, grad schools really give you a C if you took it for C/NC and passed? Do you know if its only for law school? I plan to go to business school after. In case you’re wondering, the class I want to take C/NC is Astronomy because there were no ratings under the professor at ratemyprofessor.com and the class fits perfectly into my schedule.</p>
<p>Some Grad Schools do that- You would have to check with each grad school individually. I just know that when my husband applied to Law Schools, in 06- the LSAC did it like that. LSAC can randomly change their mind and calculate it differently though from time to time depending on their current operating procedures. </p>
<p>Contact some businesses schools and see what they say.</p>

<p>Some classes are offered ONLY P/NP. Every major university in the country offers the P/NP option. How could this possibly be true?</p>
<p>why would you want to take it at a different school? does your school provide it?</p>
<p>i’m taking it at a different school because it is much closer to where i live. i will be going to the CC that’s further from me once I enroll full-time.</p>
<p>lol why is it better?</p>
<p>more classes, higher transfer rate, better professors…</p>
