<p>ok, I realized that my last post was in the wrong place and was also probably a bit confusing, so I have boiled it down to just the essentials. I am a freshman undergraduate student and I would ideally like to transfer to UCSB or UCB within two years, however, I am having trouble finding information on which classes will transfer from UH Manoa and which classes I should be taking over the next few semesters to meet requirements. If you know anything that might help me in my search for information, I would be really grateful, because I am having a hard time finding anything. I checked the official websites for both schools, but they do not seem to have a comprehensive list of courses that are guaranteed to transfer over. Even if you don't know the answer, if you can just direct me to a UC webpage/document or even just someone I can talk to who might be able to help, I would be very thankful.
Sincerely,
Antomic</p>
<p>i would research the minimum requirements to transfer as a junior to your prospective major. my other piece of advice is that if you truly want to transfer to the those schools that you get the highest GPA possible. that will give the best shot when all else fails.</p>
<p>btw. i am thinking of applying to u of h manoa. out of curiosity why are you planning to transfer away from hawaii? how is it there? are you from the mainland?</p>
<p>good luck with everything!</p>
<p>Go to [University</a> of California - Transfer path by campus](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/preparation-paths/campus/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/preparation-paths/campus/index.html) and find your major under the UC campus you are interested in applying. The PDF will give you the breadth requirements (ignore the part about the IGETC or Assist.org, they do not apply to you) and major prerequisites.</p>
<p>Hey sorry for the late reply, but thank you for the link :), and bballplyrref, I will give you an honest and sincere opinion of my experience so far.
For the price, UH Manoa is an excellent place to go for school. The WUE discount makes it considerably cheaper. I am basically paying resident tuition. The location is great, although it is both a curse and a blessing. I’ll explain.
There is a reason that UH Manoa only has a 50% graduation rate. It’s a laid-back school, and people inevitably get a bit lazy (I mean, it IS hawaii after all), but if you can stay disciplined, you’ll succeed. They’re doing a lot of renovations and construction, and despite not being a very rich school, they have made some incredible improvements. Next semester, they will even have a brand new gym.
I am majoring in marine biology and so far I have enjoyed the relatively small class sizes mixed with an occasional lecture hall of 40-70 students. Most of the faculty are very nice. It’s a mid-sized school a few miles from Waikiki Beach, so you can always do some surfing, swimming, or hiking after class. Now, even if it’s not the best school around, I’d say for the price (it’s cheaper than a lot of in-state schools in California), you are getting a very good deal.
I am looking to transfer not because I don’t like the university. I just simply cannot stay in one place for more than a few years. I get restless very quickly and I always need to be experiencing something different. Personally, I think it’s a good deal. College is whatever you make of it. Thanks for the help also, AskMsSun. I will look into those requirements.</p>
<p>Now, I have one more question, MsSun. Is there any way to verify whether certain courses I take here will transfer? Or do I just have to try and speak with someone from the UC system?</p>
<p>@antomic, unfortunately the UCs do not perform “pre-evaluation” for non-articulated coursework. The transferability is determined on the fly during admission evaluation (so you basically apply without knowing whether you qualify for transfer admission). You will just have to do your best to guess what coursework will satisfy the transfer requirements and keep your fingers crossed.</p>
