I was wondering if anyone has any information on transferring without the required math course. I am a 29 year old non-traditional student who went to college on and off after high school and left my last cc ( which was in 2008) with a 2.1 gpa.
I returned to school at Santa Monica College in 2014 and have maintained a 4.0 gpa and I will have all of my major requirements completed by the end of fall semester. I wanted to start applying for transfer this fall but I do not have a college level math. I haven’t taken a math class since high school which was in 2004! I am planning on taking math in the fall, winter, and spring semester but will still not have a Statistics class on my transcript. Oh, and I’m a Communications Major with hopes to transfer to UCLA or USC. Will I still be denied because of my remedial math courses?? I’ve been told that I will be unable to transfer until I complete Statistics- which means my education will be at a complete stand still for an entire year or possibly longer…FOR ONE CLASS.
If I go through with applying this fall:
GPA 4.0
2 internships as a digital producer at creative advertising agencies (the field of work which I would like to enter after graduating)
4 years of professional experience as the Retail Operations Supervisor for corporate Verizon Communications
2 years as the Retail Technology Trainer for corporate Verizon Communications
