<p>Hey. I am at a ccc right now, in my 2nd semester. I completed 18 units last spring and am doing 15 units right now. I am applying next month to UCLA, Cal, UCSB, UCSD, SDSU, CSUSM. By Spring 2012 I will have completed 60+ units, including all the prerequisites for my major (sociology) and IGETC.</p>
<p>I'll have to complete 27 units next semester. 10 of which are coming from 2 credit-by-exams. </p>
<p>My QUESTION is (for somebody who has had pertinent experience, preferably), do I still stand a good chance at being accepted even though at the time of initial application I have completed 18 units (GPA: 4.0)?? I heard that there will be a period in which the UC requests to see which classes you are enrolled in for spring to verify the units/prerequisites... so they will be able to see that I'll be done on time. </p>
<p>Generally, applicants have completed around 30 units at application time, and I'm 4 classes short of that because I plan on transferring after 3 semesters instead of 4. </p>
<p>When you apply you will list the courses that you have already taken, those that are in progress, and those that you plan on taking in the Spring 2012 semester.</p>
<p>I was in your same situation, only I had 20 units at the time of application. Don’t worry about it! I transferred to Cal as a Sociology major, too. I’ll also note that I transferred in with EXACTLY 60 transferable units, finishing the last 17 units up during the Spring semester prior to transferring for the Fall. Try to finish all the pre-reqs, your quantitative reasoning, and first reading & composition before the Spring term & you will be GOLDEN (BEAR!)…like how I worked that in, don’t cha.</p>
<p>@Ohitsrob, how great that you were in a similar position to me! The only thing is that I haven’t yet done either reading composition classes, or my math. I intend to do them in the spring. I have very good reason as to why I haven’t done them… do you think I am still a good candidate?</p>
