<p>Hey friends! I am a first year community college student aspiring to study philosophy at UCLA. Unfortunately my school only offers 1 of the 4 pre-req classes listed on assist. So my question is: Are my chances of getting accepted as a philosophy major totally shot because of this? I'm a solid applicant otherwise (GPA, EC's, etc.), I'm just worried not having pre-req's will make me less competitive of an applicant. Any insight to this is greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>I should also add that the nearest CC to offer any other pre-req's is 40-50 minutes away, so it's not feasible for me to take these classes elsewhere. </p>
<p>No, you shouldn’t worry, they won’t expect you to complete prerequisite classes not offered at your CC. In fact I was accepted as a phil major and only completed 2 of the 4 prerequisites despite all 4 being offered at my CC. </p>
<p>No, you’ll be fine. UCLA won’t penalize you since you can only complete one pre-req class at your community college.</p>
<p>But you should be aware that if you get accepted to UCLA and decide to go, you’ll have to complete those pre-reqs over there and it may take a little longer to graduate. It’s not too serious a problem in my opinion, but yeah. One way or another, you’ll complete those pre-reqs lol</p>
