U.C. Transfer from a Private School

<p>Thank you to all that helped so far. Especially you liek0806. You have been nothing but such a great help :).</p>

<p>I just had a few more questions though. Do the UC’s care WHEN you take the required courses, like the English class? Because I couldn’t get any of the English classes anymore because they were all full. Do they give priority to the people who completed it in the fall semester, or do I still have the same chance even with just taking the class at the spring semester.</p>

<p>Also, for the units that you said that will turn into electives from my private school, does that count as UC transferable too? </p>

<p>Lastly, do the electives that I take matter, as long as I finish most of the IGETC requirements? Because the only classes I was able to take right now were:</p>

<p>SPCH 100 - Public Speaking - 3.00 units
PSYC 201 - Child Development - 3.00 units
MATH 200 - Probability & Statistics - 4.00 units
PSYC 200 - Developmental Psychology - 3.00 units
MUS 202 - Music Appreciation - 3.00 units</p>

<p>I’m planning on taking an English class, General Physics with Lab, and Physical Anthropology (For my Biological IGETC section) next semester, plus some other units that I need to take just to try to get more units to try to hit that 60 transferable units mark.</p>

<p>Is this a good schedule for me to still have a chance at getting into UC Irvine by fall 2011?</p>

<p>A counselor told me to drop precalculus for Child development and Music Appreciation because he said that there might be prerequisite conflicts and he said I won’t really need it because if I go do well on the placement test, then I would place in a class higher than precalculus. But if I do poorly, then I would have to take several math classes, about 5 semesters worth, of math classes. So he said it would be better to take these classes. </p>

<p>What I am afraid of, though, is that I might be taking too many electives, and the Music Appreciation class might be useless, because the Materials of Music that I took in my private school might already count as an Arts class. If this is the case, would the UC’s mind if I have two Arts classes? Or would it just not matter as long as I have 60 transferable units.</p>

<p>Again, thank you SO MUCH for helping me with this problem. I know I’ve been so much trouble lately. I just want to say thank you for taking the time to help out a stranger =].</p>

<p>PS: Oh yeah, for liek0806, how many units did the UC accept from the private school, and were any of them from the IGETC? How did you know that they were transferable and will they still tell you how much they accepted from your private school EVEN if you get rejected? </p>

<p>Thank you so much again for all the help. You are the person that I can relate to the most, and have been the biggest help for me so far. Even more than any of my counselors lol.</p>
