<p>Can this be done, if you've got some AP credits and a major that doesn't require as many classes, such as Comp. Sci.?</p>
<p>Where's the best place to determine what classes you'd need to take to be eligible (to transfer from a mid-UC to Cal/UCLA)?
I only ask because I have to choose classes in July I believe.</p>
<p>Any input appreciated!</p>
<p>Thanks,
Dmission</p>
<p>Hello, I don't know what the prerequisites for Comp. Sci are, but I believe this is an impacted major (I could be wrong), so you might have a harder time.</p>
<p>There are no sites that tell you which UC courses will articulate as what. Well, I think assist.org might have a few exceptions for UC to UC agreements, but generally, no.</p>
<p>I emailed an adviser from Berkeley once. He said that if I am admitted to UCB, I would have to take the syllabi from the courses that I took at UCSD for advisers to compare, and they would determine things from there.</p>
<p>So, the best thing you can do now is look at the UCB/LA course catalogue and try to match it with courses at your home UC. </p>
<p>I think if you really want to go to UCB/LA, you should take the CC route. Though I am very grateful for having been admitted to UCSD, I realize now that going to CCC would have been the smarter thing to do. Save yourself some money, save yourself some anxiety.</p>
<p>I don't think it's impacted. That's what I've been told, anyway, but I can't seem to find a site that lists impacted majors.</p>
<p>Thanks though, I'll try to match up the courses.</p>
<p>(The UC I'm transferring from has ~50% successful transfers to UCB/UCLA, while CC only has ~30% :P)</p>
<p>comp sci requires a lot of classes man</p>
<p>Doesn't seem like it does...

<p>im talking about berkley/ ucla. its mad competitive</p>
<p>just take all your math/physics first. thats all that matters really</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies.</p>
<p>I meant, if there's not a lot of pre-reqs that you need to get 60 units, is it possible to transfer after one year?</p>
<p>Are counselors at UCs able to help you meet the pre-reqs so you can trasfer?</p>
<p>If you want to find out which majors are impacted at UCLA just go to Google and type in "UCLA Transfer Admission Guide". Click on the link that has the PDF and scroll through that PDF to find Comp Sci. If you read somewhere near the beginning of the PDF, it tells you that the majors that are impacted have the STAR (*) next to them.</p>
<p>For UC Berkeley I'm not exactly sure but a little googling should give you the answer fairly quickly.</p>
<p>L&S</a> Major - Capped Majors</p>
<p>CS used to be on the capped major list. It's not on it anymore. It was announced by a professor during a CS 61A or CS 61B lecture that the major will no longer be impacted.</p>
<p>Thanks both of you for the replies.</p>
<p>It seems at UCLA Comp. Sci. is described as "highly selective" but luckily not impacted anymore at UCB. :)</p>
<p>I'm trying to determine my Pre-Reqs now, but I can't find any from UCLA or from UCB. All I can find is that UCLA wants you to talk C++, but any info on UCB?</p>
<p>Wow! How do you find those statistics? Usually people clump all 4-year universities together, and I think it's about 13% that get accepted to UCB. I didn't know there were statistics by university.</p>
<p>Well, for UCD to UCLA it's 46% I believe, but I can't find the stats. for UCB.</p>
<p>im transferring to Cal after one year at UCSC.</p>
<p>Same situation as you, dmission, i just applied as MCB major.</p>
<p>work on finishing major prereqs. assist doesn't work for UC to UC, so you have to take risks when picking classes at a UC when you intend to transfer.</p>
<p>it's also hard to transfer from a quarter to a semester system UC and vice versa. i took a year of calculus at UCSC, but it doesn't transfer over as the year i need for my major, and i have to take MATH 49 at Cal, even though i surpassed the curriculum i would have taken at Cal with the classes i took at UCSC.</p>
<p>my counselors weren't at all helpful when i told them i wanted to transfer. they like keeping students in their school. so they make it hard for you to get what you want. at least that's my experience.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if human biology is an impacted major?</p>
<p>Thanks, Orion8!</p>
<p>So, you took a year of Calc. but only got credit for half of it, or what? How do they convert Quarter to semesters?</p>
<p>Secondly, when signing up for classes then, do you just hope they transfer? Any specific classes UCLA or UCB want you to take for the application process, or do they just want 60 units no matter what classes?</p>
<p>edit: And Congratulations!!</p>
<p>How much harder is it to get into an impacted major at Cal? I was thinking of being an Economics major next year but it's impacted so I was thinking of going Political Science instead. I'd prefer Econ if it isn't that much harder to transfer with it but I wouldn't mind Poli Sci either. Sorry for the thread-jack. Thanks.</p>
<p>Yeah, my year of Calc almost transferred as a year, but I have to take Math 49 at Cal when I get there to finish it up. It's some independent study class with a professor.
The three 5 quarter-unit classes i took transferred to Cal as 10 semester units of math. which is lame considering that should be enough, but whatever.</p>
<p>to go from semester to quarter, multiply by 3/2.
quarter to semester, multiply by 2/3.
so 3 semester units equal 4.5 quarter units, and vice versa.</p>
<p>you basically hope they transfer. i mean, being in the UC system, they usually do, but you do have take some risk. </p>
<p>I had 60 units from everywhere, but a lot of them transferred as either GE's or major prereqs. Just aim to finish GE's and major prereqs before you transfer, and you should be good.</p>
<p>Thanks, Orion8.</p>
<p>When you transfer, you need 60 Units at your UC then, or 60 units after * 3/2?</p>
<p>So just aim for GEs at current school, get 60 units, and I should be eligible to transfer?</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>60 semester units or 90 quarter units.</p>
<p>and dont just aim for GE's. get some, if not all major prereqs done with good grades.</p>
