<p>I have been scouting around this forum and the official uc website but have only become more confused. </p>
<p>Classes haven't started yet at UCI, but I have been exploring a transfer to UCB. (I talked to my counselor about it, and they had completely no information.)</p>
<p>In my situation to be eligible, for a transfer I have figured that I need to complete the L&S(Poli Sci Maj) requirement 7 course breadth or attain UC-UC reciprocity. Question 1- Is it more advantageous to complete UC-UC reciprocity in terms of an increased preference for admission? Question 2 do I need to complete UC-UC reciprocity to be considered for admission or will they be pleased to try to take as many GE transferable courses via the L&S method(damn assist not listing for UC-UC transfers)?</p>
<p>And from AP tests I'm entering my first year with 56 AP credits. That means if I were to go ahead and try to fulfill UC Reciprocity, by completing the all the GE's I would be over the 120 Quarter Unit Cap for consideration(Hopefully I have a wrong perception of the GE's required). I see myself stuck it a double bind. Just complete the L&S requirement(and face a lower chance of admission) or complete UC reciprocity and risk overshooting the units cap for transfer eligibility(Is there a way to make some AP Units "Go away" or hopefully AP units wont count towards transfer credits-who knew taking AP's would hurt.)</p>
<p>Bottom line: What are my options to be eligible for transfer? Is there anyway out of my situation?</p>
