<p>Is it possible to transfer from a community college to a UC after only 1 year? I've heard that as long as you have all of your units (60 semester/90 quarter) and prereqs finished, you can apply after a year. I'm hoping to join the TAP program for UCLA and complete my units after a year. If I apply and get rejected, I'll continue with TAP and apply after 2 years. </p>
<p>I've heard it also depends on your major. I know Engineer majors have lots of prereqs to finish. Does anyone know if Business is any easier to complete?</p>
<p>Yes, that is true. I think you need to have most of your major courses finished before Spring and take the GEs during Spring. Of course it would help if you have APs from high school.</p>
<p>Business at both UCLA/Berkeley is extremely competitive, so make sure your GPA is high if you're applying into those majors. Other than that, if you have major requisites, 60+ units, IGETC, TAP, you should be ready to apply.</p>
<p>You asked if Business is easier to complete. Just look it up on Assist.org to see what classes you need to take for UCLA (+any other school you plan on applying to).</p>
<p>You aren't considered TAP certified unless you have completed 6 classes (or whatever the number of units I forget) that qualify before transferring. At my school, they post a schedule of TAP classes online for the current semester.</p>
<p>Just make sure you plan your one year at your CC. I'm guessing you'll need to start early by enrolling in the summer. And hopefully you have AP credits to help fulfill any IGETC or prereq requirements. Also, hopefully, you don't need to take any useless classes to fulfill the prereq FOR the classes you need to take (like Precalc for Calc or Intro english for English 1A etc etc).</p>
<p>so you should really start planning and making sure you don't have any drawbacks from your goal</p>
<p>I don't see the rush in doing so. I'll admit when I realized that I had to go a CC I was ****ed off because i thought it was beneath me. I screwed over my high school years, so it was inevitable. After spending 3 yrs at a CC, I have learned to enjoy it and become grateful that I went that route. Number one: you will only have 2 years worth of debt after you transfer, and secondly you'll be groomed to handle university classes independently. In high school there is a lot of busy work and hand holding. I don't think i would have survived university if I had just went there straight after high school.</p>
<p>yeah as if at a junior college there isnt busy work and hand holding. ive found that at a junior college theres even more pointless garbage and spoon feeding assigned than in high school.</p>
