<p>Hey all, now that the application is up for the UC's, I'm kind of in a pickle as to what to do.</p>

<p>Last year, I did a year of preparatory school at a University to gain entrance to the US Naval Academy. I earned 36 (2 semesters of 18 credits) credits totaling a 3.9 GPA</p>

<p>Well, I'm at the Naval Academy right now and I want to get the hell out of here. But the problem is, some courses that I took last year, I am repeating again (such as Calculus II and Chemistry I) because this place does not accept transfer units. </p>

<p>So because I'm taking some repeat courses, I'm going to fall short of the minimum 60 for transferring to the UC's.</p>

<p>I'm not quite sure what to do.</p>

<p>I can either</p>

<p>a) take online courses from another community college to boost my credits
b) apply for sophomore admission
c) apply for exception?</p>

<p>Most likely I will be short 13 credits, unless I take 3-4 online courses and try to meet the minimums. </p>

<p>What exactly is the criteria for sophomore admission? </p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>I didn’t quite comprehend your choices. If you do choice a, that means you will be doing b. If you do b, that means you must do a. However, c implies that you won’t do a nor b. </p>

<p>UC’s don’t make any exceptions when it comes to the 60 semester hour requirement. If I were you, I’d take 4-5 easy online courses to boost your credits. But I’m not you, so it’s up to you to decide what is best for you. You you you you.</p>

<p>I’d say try and make it to the 60 unit requirement. Transferring in as an exception or sophomore is difficult. When I went Calso, out of the 400-500 some odd people in the room, only one student was a sophomore transfer.</p>
