Transfer to UC w/100+ units & BA???

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I attended a CCC for two years and transferred to SJSU for art. I graduated with a BA but I realized that I made a huge mistake in choosing my major. After two years I enrolled back into the same CCC hoping to transfer this time to a UC for biology which was the major I loved and intended to pursue (but didn’t) the first time around. My CCC transcript kept all my units from before so now I have well over 100 and there is a four year gap. </p>

<p>My college counselor basically told me that it seemed like there is no chance for me to get into a UC since I already have a BA and have 100+ units on my CCC transcript. </p>

<p>Is this true and if so, can’t I not tell anyone of my BA since there is no proof of it anywhere in my CCC records? How can I go back to school? </p>

<p>Thanks for your help in advance.</p>

<p>I think you could successfully not disclose the information. But if you’re curious, anonymously call an admissions office and ask.</p>

<p>That’s ridiculous! You should be able to transfer out, since you want a second Bachelor’s degree. </p>

<p>Here’s a little read on it :slight_smile: I have to give you praise for your decision, pretty gutsy to take a second roll at it. :D</p>

<p>You don’t need a degree from the UC program to be happy or qualified in your field of study. Consider a CSU or Private University. </p>

<p>It looks like only a few UCs might consider me by approval of the dean. </p>

<p>I’m just afraid of finishing all my prereqs and then getting rejected! It seems like a whole lot of work for nothing… I guess all I could do is continue and hope for the best?</p>
