<p>I know that this is the requirements that transfer students need to meet before they can have a chance to transfer at Berkeley.</p>
<li>Complete 60 semester (90 quarter) units of transferable college
credit with a GPA of at least 2.4. No more than 14 semester (21
quarter) units may be taken Pass/Not Pass.</li>
<li>Complete the following seven transferable college courses, earning
a grade of C or better in each course:
◗ Two courses in English composition;
◗ One course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning;
◗ Four courses chosen from at least two of the following subject
areas: the arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences,
and the physical and biological sciences.
Each course must be worth at least 3 semester (4 quarter) units.</li>
</ol>
<p>I have a question about the seven transferable college courses. I got a 3 in English Literature and a 4 on English Language in high school (AP tests). I think I saw somewhere that you can fulfill one of the English composition courses if you received a 4 on the English Language AP test. Is this correct? Also, if it is, how can I find out which course would satisfy the second half of the English Composition requirement (I’m trying to transfer from UCSD)? I know do not have to take any mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning classes because I fulfilled it with a 3 on the Calculus BC exam. If I take four courses in Chinese Studies and Economics, will that fulfill the last pre-req? Isn’t there a foreign language pre-req that I need to complete? (I’ve already taken foreign language in high school for 3 years, though.) I also know that one of the requirements is having 90 Quarter units done, but I don’t think that should be a problem. If after completing all these pre-reqs, I just have to complete the rest of the year with whatever classes I choose, right?</p>
<p>If someone could please help me answer these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.</p>
<p>Applicants must complete the required 60 semester units, all college breadth requirements and most, if not all, major prerequisites by the end of the spring term preceding enrollment. Applicants are expected to complete breadth requirements through one of three patterns: 1) L&S requirements in reading and composition, foreign language and quantitative reasoning; 2) the UC Reciprocity Agreement (for students transferring from other UC campuses); or 3) IGETC (for California community college students)</p>
<p>Can I not do the IGETC? For number 1, I just need to complete the reading and composition, foreign language and quantitative reasoning and I am eligible to transfer? I don't really get the Reciprocity Agreement.</p>
<p>Wow, so if I don't complete my college's GE, I'm pretty much unable to transfer? I'm in Warren, so the GEs are going to be insane ... two PofCs ... what the heck! Does anyone know any other transfer options for a UC student?</p>
<p>grey says that I can't do it ... and in order for me to complete my GEs it'll take over two years ... does anyone have any other suggestions for me?</p>
<p>Oh, SERIOUS?! Just lower-division GE classes? Because Warren wants me to complete like 2 6-course classes (3 lower, 3 upper), along with like 5 other lower division classes. If I just need to complete all my lower division classes then I will only have like 11 classes to take before I can apply. Correct me if I'm wrong please because I have no clue about transferring and Berkeley's office is always busy or closed. Also, when I apply I won't have all of these classes done, so how would they know that I completed all of my lower-division classes?</p>
<p>You should ask the counselors at UCSD but from what i keep reading on the UC's official website, it says "GEs/lower-division breadth". I'm assuming we would only need lower-division breadth because completing the upper divs would place us over the limit cap! Also I believe you need to complete the pre-req and UC Reciprocity by the end of the spring quarter. </p>
<p>But anyways, try to confirm what you are suppose to do (all GEs or all low-div GEs) by contacting Berkeley, via email phone etc. Be Persistent!</p>
<p>What a second, when it says "One course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning," does that mean two courses (one in mathematical concepts and one in reasoning) or just one?</p>
<p>Which math courses (in general) satisfy "mathematical concepts and reasoning"?</p>
<p>You don't have to satisfy the minimum eligibility requirements because you were obviously already eligible for the UC system as a freshman since you goto UCSD right now. But of course it would look alot better if you did take 2 english courses and some math.</p>
<p>Minimum eligibility requirements:
Two UC transferable courses in English composition;
One UC transferable course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; and
Four UC transferable courses from at least two of the following subject areas:
Arts and humanities
Social and behavioral sciences
Physical and biological sciences</p>
<p>"You are also eligible to transfer if you were eligible for admission to the University as a freshman when you graduated from high school, and you have a C (2.0) average in your transferable college coursework."</p>
