<p>Okay so this morning I finally discovered that I was admitted into UCI...finally after so much waiting. UCSB is still pending and I will not see UCLA/CAL for a while. </p>
<p>I have received and email personally from both Berkeley and UCSB asking me for a Spring Grade update. I assume this is because I am taking 28 units right now! I responded to both saying that I am receiving an A or A+ in each class. I haven't received one B on any assignment or test yet! :) I hope that taking 28 units does not ruin my acceptance; obviously I can handle the work load. Still worried though....ughh :(</p>
<p>Whoa! My school wouldn’t let me take 28 units! I’m taking only 19 right now. 
Good job at keeping up on all that work!</p>
<p>I can’t take 28 units or else my FA would unit cap me…><strong><;; So I’m taking 19 as well! You should be proud, that’s intense homework! Best of luck and 'grats getting into UCI! [: We’re all waiting for Cal…x</strong>x;;</p>
<p>bmwbeemerz8, can you please explain how taking a crap load of classes could “ruin you acceptance?” </p>
<p>Are you worried that your grades might drop?</p>
<p>I’m taking 22, but I had to take a couple at another local ccc, to avoid running into financial aid problems.</p>
<p>i’m taking 25 units!!!( its kicking my a s s!) i did not get an e-mail from UCSB, is that a bad sign??? 
:(</p>
<p>^
No it’s not, don’t worry. I’ve heard other UCs e-mailing applicants because they are borderline of having those 60 units by the end of Spring. Omg…that’s too much. @__@;;</p>
<p>wow, 28 units and putting yourself through a lot of work for a crap major</p>
<p>i’m borderline of having those 60 units that is why i’m taking 25 units! ugh</p>
<p>i do not understand why you can’t wait another year instead of letting that gpa possibly suffer, but if you can persevere then kudos to you</p>
<p>daymm thats crazy… i started this semester taking 29 freaking units…29!! then i got a job and it went down to 20…haha…</p>
<p>anybody knows the record?? ahha</p>
<p>I was told by a counselor at my CC that three classes I took at another institution would transfer, turns out that they probably won’t and I found this out months after I submitted my application and everything, so I just decided to add 3 extra classes to my load instead of wasting another WHOLE year.</p>
<p>Exactly, counselors are the reason for all the s h i t and stress I’m going through this year, you guys wouldn’t believe some of the things they told me or the “advice” they gave me.</p>
<p>yeah…seriously…no one wants to spend another year in a community college…well at least i dont…</p>
<p>I am taking 28 units because I do not want to be in a CCC for one more year. I plan to go to law school immediately after my undergrad, therefore another year in school is too much. </p>
<p>And for those who ask why take so many units and possibly ruin my GPA? The answer is that I am not ruining my GPA at all. I have an A or an A+ in each class. The lowest test score I have recieved on a test was a 92/100. Most of my tests have been at 100/100. </p>
<p>UCSB still has “decision pending” listed as my current status. They are the ones who emailed me asking how I am doing in each class, what my current grades are, and the scores I received on each quiz, test, or exam. This is probably because I am taking 28 units and when I complete them I will have a total of 61 units. Basically, if I were to fail a class or drop one, I would not qualify for the 60 units. I have never dropped a class, I am still taking 28 units, and I still have all A’s, so no worries!! Berkeley was the first school to email me asking how I am doing in each class. I hope thats a good sign! They were most concerned with whether I was going to complete all 28 units and if I had any changes to report. Hope I get in! 
</p>
<p>Any other questions? I will be glad to answer!</p>
<p>u have a lot of determination… thats awesome =) congrats!</p>
<p>Definitely! Just don’t plan on doing all full-blown units at the UCs! @__@;; </p>
<p>You should be very proud of yourself!</p>
<p>Counselors…haa.</p>
<p>Thank you guys…I appreciate it! I am going through so much right now with all these classes…I need all the support I can get! LOL</p>
