<p>I got in. And i'm going!!!</p>
<p>I'm so excited, i too was defered EA and then rejected RD. I can't wait to go!!</p>
<p>UNC doesn't factor in instate/out of state with transfers, I think CC Students problem was how many credits he had... they don't take people with more than 80, it says so on their website.</p>
<p>I am not a he. Anyway, I thought that there is no cap on community college units for transfer students especially because not all my classes would transfer. Or does UNC do it different than the UCs?</p>

<p>Most colleges, regardless of what would have transferred, do not allow students who have accumulated over two years of credit to attend.</p>
<p>I know for a fact that the UCs do not consider the number of community college units. I can't comment on other colleges. But do you reall think that the accumulation of 116 units at a community college is going to affect my admission decisions? Damn, then I am screwed.</p>

<p>Yes, in fact, most college's transfer quidelines explicitly state the limit.</p>
<p>Even for community college students? I assumed that UC's guidelines would mirror the guidelines of other colleges.</p>

For any student who accumulates college-level credit.</p>

I do not know what grounds there are for that assumption. In freshman admissions, I know the UCs do not even ask for high school transcripts unless one is accepted; this methodology is obviously not reflected in most other top tier schools.</p>
<p>umm aren't people at the UC's getting rejected for having too many credits..i feel like someone was just rejected last week because he/she had 92 credits.</p>
<p>What I meant was that how can they max out your units if the units are lower division? The whole point of transferring is to gain upper division units. I don't care of they only transfer 60 units out of my 116.</p>
<p>That second part presents a good point. But, still it is counter-intuitive to penalize me for spending too much time at a community college, espcially when all the work is lower division.</p>
<p>this may prove useful..</p>

<p>I do not think they delineate between "lower division" and "upper division" credits. A credit is a credit.</p>

<p>I do not think they care either.</p>
<p>Nikki, were they transferring from a four-year?</p>
<p>Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to take all the classes I needed for Berkeley and receive my AA, if I did things any other way. And, out of 116 units, 27 units were all for math. If I only completed 60 units, then nearly half of my units would be math.</p>
<p>Not really. A credit is not just a credit. Seriously, there is a distinct difference between upper division and lower division credits. For instance, you can't receive any upper division credits at a community college.</p>

<p>Actually, I think you are right. At any rate, I did your homework for you...</p>
<p>Thanks, nspeds. I guess UNC's policy doesn't really matter for me though since they rejected me. Do you think if I call them they will tell me why? Or is that just a waste of time?</p>
<p>There is no harm in calling. I think you should, just to make sure.</p>
<p>I guess I will call tomorrow. Anyway, nice website, nspeds.</p>
