UC GPA and semester limit after transfer

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Just to make sure (I'm paranoid, as I'm sure a lot of you are haha):</p>

<ol>
<li>The GPA that counts when applying to a UC (UCB specifically) is your UC transferable GPA, not your CC cumulative GPA correct? So for instance, remedial math or English or some random non-transferable study skills class WOULDN'T count in your GPA when applying right?</li>
</ol>

<p>And 2. At UCB isn't there a four semester limit after you transfer (not including summers)? Or am I wrong about that one (I hope so haha)?</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your time!!</p>

<p>P.S. Oh also, I want to apply for the cognitive sci major in the college of L&S. If I don't finish Calc 1 or Discrete Mathematics (two pre-reqs for the major) before I apply to transfer, will that significantly affect my chances for admittance?</p>

<li>Correct</li>
<li>Yes, there is a 4-semester limit for most majors in L&S. I heard you can petition, but I don’t know either… Would be great if anyone has been successful in petition for an extra semester in L&S reply in this thread lol.
But bottomline is, if you miss only a couple of courses, you can take it during the summer or Cal Extension and it will still count, that’s what I know</li>
</ol>

<p>P.S. Yes, since Calc1 and Discrete Math (Math 55), not CS 70, are found at most community colleges, so if you cannot take those then your chance would be lessen, I think.
Hope that helps. I’m shooting for L&S’s CompS as well xD</p>
