Transfer as a First-Year

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

Hi I’m a First-Year at a CCC and am applying to transfer to UCs for Fall 2017. Mainly trying to get into UCLA for Business Econ or UC Berkeley for Econ. Just wondering whether this is common and if I actually have a chance to be admitted. I have 29 semester units from AP exams and if all goes well, I should have 35 units from classes at the end of Spring 2017, which will add up to a total of 64 units. I think I will satisfy the IGETC but I’ll list my APs/courses here just in case.

AP Exams: Biology, Chemistry, World History, Microeconomics, Psychology, Statistics, and Calculus AB/BC.

My current/planned courses are:
Fall 2016: Business 1 (3 Units), Econ 2 (3 Units), English 1 (3 Units), and Russian 1 (5 Units)
Winter 2017: Accounting 1 (5 Units)
Spring 2017: Accounting 2 (5 Units), Russian 2 (5 Units), English 2 (3 Units), and Art History 1 (3 Units)

Because I’m a first-year, I haven’t finished any courses yet so the only courses that will be used for my GPA are my current courses, in which I have high A’s and I doubt that’ll change. So if I’m understanding correctly, that means that I’ll have a 4.0. Have I completed everything that’s needed of me and do I actually have a chance of being admitted into UCLA and Berkeley?

Also one additional question: When I was filling out my UC application, it asked me whether I had finished the College/University Mathematics requirement and the College/University Other Courses requirement. I put no for both and in the additional comments section wrote that my AP exams would fulfill both of these requirements. Is that what you’re supposed to do?

Check with your counselor first.
Ask them; also if there is transfer center (counselors that specifically work to transfer students outta CC in a truck load) like LACC, then go there.

Your IGETC Math portion will be cover your Statistics and Calculus. IGETC is college specific too, your IGETC is covered, but check with your counselor to see if you’ll be fine. Your app might say something different for some reason. They disregard AP credits for IGETC it seems.

Also:
Your Calculus both(AB/BC) will have to be a score of 5. Then it’ll meet the requirement.
Your Micro-Econ will have to be a score of 4.
Check if they are. UCLA takes Math 31A and later maths with the AP scores of 5 only.
