UC Questions

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

As a high school senior, I am currently taking a Python Programming class at my local community college. (Concurrent Enrollment). I listed the class as a non a-g course in the extra curricular section of the UC application.

Although there are still 4 months before admit decisions arrive, it would be nice to know for personal reasons:

Assuming I am accepted to whichever UC, would they request me to send a community college transcript to that campus? (Not doing too well in that class) :frowning:

And for my second question:

I wrote my UC world essay on my room with a piano and a large window, and how it has shown me that music can morph my views on what I see; this essay eventually shows that I wish to create music for a certain animation film company.

I chose Computer science as my major for every school on the UC application. Will it “trip up” the admission officers when they see this mismatch? I never made this explicit in my essay or my application, but to me, Computer science is just a career, whereas making music more of an far reaching, hobby-like dream of mine. Because my “dream/aspiration” in my UC essay is not computer science, will my application have less power? Thoughts?

Thanks.

If it is a transferable course, it should have been in your course work.

Yes, all transcripts are needed at matriculation.

@ucbalumnus I listed it in the “non a-g coursework” section, and on the page that asks for College courses taken. So I think I did it right?

And thank you for your response

http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/requirements/a-g-requirements/ says that all UC-transferable college courses that do not fall into the a-f categories fall into the g category (college-prep elective).

Community college courses fulfilling a-g requirements may be listed at https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcourselist#/list/search/all .

You can also check http://www.assist.org to see if a community college course is UC-transferable.

@ucbalumnus Thanks, it looks like my Python course is UC transferable. Suppose I got a C or a D in that course. (I’m taking it only this fall semester btw). Do you think that has influence to rescind my UC decisions? Even though its just a community college non a-f course?
