<p>and philosophy helps a lot with the LSAT</p>
<p>'Tis true. Besides, it makes you sound really (pseudo)intellectual.</p>
<p>but that stuff is for later right? I have to complete my general education requirements first right?</p>
<p>oh by the way your honors classes don't have to be all your major requirement courses, you can have honors GED too.</p>
<p>The best is to go and talk to a TAP counsl.(Dr. Gold-he's the best) ask them to write your whole schedule for 2 years.</p>
<p>I hope those Honors classes arent too difficult</p>
<p>If they're anything like Pierce's, I wouldn't worry. The nice thing about Honors (again, at Pierce, but I imagine it's similar) is that the classes are full of dedicated, intelligent, UC bound students, so you're more compelled to study.</p>
<p>I hear that people saying that there gonna go to cc and transfer after two years, and I think I read that your (uclari) are doing it in one? Is that possible? Is it better or worse, easier or harder?</p>
<p>Correction: I did it in one. I'm done with undergrad in 6 weeks. </p>
<p>I personally don't recommend it to everyone though, and here's why- I had already taken several classes at Pierce prior to being a full-time student. It wasn't a new experience for me, so I was able to really buckle down and take all my classes as quickly as I wanted to take them. I took like 8 units that first summer, 18 each semester, 4 in the winter, and then 18 the next semester. I also had 6 or 7 (I forget how many) AP classes and 23 units I took over past summers and nights. Unless you have had a lot of APs, I recommend you take the two year path and just focus on getting good grades and having good experiences.</p>
<p>I actually had no Ap's in high school so I probably will take the two year path, I dont want to kill my self in one year. Do UC's require you to finish the IGETC only, or do they want you to take courses beyond that. Do you even have to finish them?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if the requirements changed, but back in my day you only were required to complete the following:</p>
<h1>60 UC-transferable* units</h1>
<h1>7 UC-transferable GE courses completed with "C" grade or better and comprised of:</h1>
<pre><code>* 2 courses in English Composition
* 1 course in Mathematical Concepts/Quantitative Reasoning
* 4 additional courses from at least two of the followingdisciplines: Arts & Humanities; Social/Behavioral Sciences; Physical/Biological Sciences
</code></pre>
<p>However, that's not reality. In order to be competitive, you need all of the above, plus your major requirements, plus the IGETC. You can find your major requirements, tailored to your CC, here-</p>
<p>Thanks for your help..so your at ucla rite now?</p>
<p>Hmm...technically. I'm doing CAPPP in Washington, DC for my last quarter.</p>
<p>wow..</p>
<p>I dont know what to do, go to the college Ill get into straight from High School, probably riverside or sdsu, or if im really lucky UCI. Or go to cc take the chance and transfer to my dream school. Im worried that in a couple years itll become so competitive, like high school and Ill end up going to somewhere I could have gone before or worse...any advice</p>
<p>Well, going to a CC has its strengths and weaknesses. The obvious strength is the ability to transer to wherever you want. The weakness is that you may not actually take advantage of it. Many CC students flounder because they simply get lazy or get caught up in the wrong group of people.</p>
<p>I am an advocate of transferring, but recommend that you consider how self-motivated you actually are.</p>
<p>Im very self motivated and Ill try my hardest anywhere I go. But i fear that inthe future it will be way more competitive. The UCLA site says average gpa is 3.5, I can manage that, but if it gets tougher in a couple years and the gpa rises to 3.9-4.0 then I dont think I can be a competitive applicant.</p>
