UC Davis from a State School

Transfer Students
1

<p>I read that Davis rarely admist students with more than 80 semester units from a 4 year school. I am wondering how strict are they on this? I am transfering to Sonoma State for fall 2006 and am planning to finish all my lower-division classes so I can transfer to Davis in fall 2007 with a 3.15 GPA and study managerial economics. This would put me at about 88 units (at 65 now) Would the 80+ units thing still apply to me even though they are all lower division units?</p>

<p>Also I have some quarter units and some semester units, will UCs turn my semester units into quarter units or vice-versa?</p>

2

<p>why are u transfering to sonoma in the first place to get more units?</p>

3

<p>Well I just want to get out of the JC I am tired of it...I wouldn't mind just going part-time for two semesters but I rather not if I don't need to</p>

4

<p>Why dont u take a gap year and apply to UC davis this november? u already got more units than u need and by taking more units, ur chances will decrease! plus entering to a 4 year is bad when ur trying to go to a UC</p>

5

<p>Unfortunatlet I already moved out here and paid all the fees, I just found out today that it might be a problem...so should I stay under 80 units even though they are lower-division?</p>

6

<p>wow, honestly, i dont know how to answer that question. I do remember reading somewhere that some schools dont take over 75 units... so i would recommend to definately stay way below 80 units. DONT GO ANY HIGHER. Also, call UCdavis tomorrow and ask for more information; ask for a transfer admissions counselor and ask for help because this is a very sticky situation and i really dont know how to answer it...</p>

7

<p>norxcal, also, cant u get a refund if school hasnt started and u decide to withdraw? just a thought? BUT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, PLEASE CALL UC DAVIS!!</p>

8

<p>i wouldn't count on it, uc and csu classes are rarely the same, meaning it's hard to get credit for them. </p>

<p>try to get refund for ur somona state tution and go back to ccc unless you don't mind graduating from that school, whihc is likely outcome in ur situation. </p>

<p>which lower devision classes are u missing?</p>

9

<p>dude, i just read that u have 65 units right now... DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ABOVE THAT!!!</p>

<p>2 semesters of Calculus, statistics, Managerial Accounting,Micro-Economics, and a Speech class....I know a lot of other UC's will let you take up to 85 semester units so I might consider some of those...this is what I am going off of:</p>

Applications for second baccalaureate degrees are considered only by the College of Engineering (with restrictions) and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.</p>

<p>I dont think u need speech for an econ major...</p>

12

<p>I think u can have as many units from a ccc as u want.</p>

13

<p>Assuming I stay under 80 units and have about a 3.16 GPA going in, what are my chances of getting in? </p>

<p>Also....what if I take two classes at the CC in fall and two in winter and put that on my application and don't put my classes from the CSU and then once I got into UCD had my CSU units transfered after a quarter or two, would that work?</p>

14

<p>Stay in CC if you want to go to Davis. I go to Sonoma State and it's a very small school. They do have a good econ department.</p>

15

<p>i always thought that we can have as many units as we want as transfer student, but they don't take more than like 80 to 90 semester units toward graduation</p>

<p>like you can excced the limit, but they just don't take every units you have
am i wrong here?</p>

16

<p>here's something straight from the ucla website</p>

<p>"Q: What is the highest (or lowest) number of units I can transfer to UCLA?</p>

<p>A: When students transfer to UCLA, they must be at junior level. That means a student must have at least 90 quarter (60 semester) and no more than 130 quarter (86 semester)* units.</p>

<p>*Students transferring to UCLA from 2-year colleges get a maximum of 105 quarter units applied to their degrees. Therefore, a 2-year college transfer with more than 130/86 units will still be considered a junior."</p>

<p>how good of a school is sonoma state? compared to other norcal CSU's? i was actually ready to transfer last spring 2006 semester. but i visited it and it really small and kind of in the middle of nowhere. i know its a really small CSU. i decided to get my refund and transfer this spring 2007 semester instead. i plan to do business (management or accounting)</p>

18

<p>It's one of the better cal states as far as I know. The top CSU in norcal are Sonoma and Chico.</p>

19

<p>Chico, really? that's kind of shocking...so I decided I better just stay at the Community College thanks for your help guys!</p>

20

<p>so the best Norcal CSU's Sonoma and Chico are in the middle of nowhere lol</p>

<p>i got accepted to all CSU's in Socal like LB that i applied to but would prefer to stay in Norcal</p>

<p>i'd prefer to be near a big city/urban setting, but i'm not sure how good SJSU, SFSU, SAC are</p>
