<p>If they accept it for your major, then you might as well do it. You'll also save money.</p>

<p>For engineering majors, they don't accept IGETC "certification" but I can still use IGETC courses to satisfy some of their GE.</p>

<p>They're willing to accept my major prereqs during summer quarter as work-in-progress so I think they'll be willing to accept GE courses done during summer.</p>

<p>Do you mean housing as in Dogwood and all that? If so, then yes I passed right by there on my way to the campus. I ended up parking nearby Veteran street as I didn't want to pay $8 for parking since I was already considering on buying a $50 UCLA sweater. LOL.</p>

good personal statement is important
transcripts show a bad start with W's, C's, D's, but I explained in one of the questions. But my grades went to all A's for 3 semesters getting the presidents honors awards. difficult classes too.
im a high school dropout
they like to see effort, improvement and motivation.
good luck and always learn from mistakes, i think that is key to anything.</p>
