<p>The UC has A-G subject requirements I don't satisfy the requirement because Im missing one year of Lab Science. Should I just forget about UC completely (even the lesser campuses such as Santa Barbara and Irvine)? Or should I just apply and see what happens (I read that they sometimes make exceptions)? Has anyone gotten in without satisfying the full A-G requirement?</p>
<p>You must have only one year of science. </p>
<p>This isnt just a UC thing. Most schools are going to require at least 2 years, many 3 and many recomend 4. </p>
<p>Can you get into a science class spring term ?</p>
<p>if you don’t meet the a-g requirements, you can be admitted by testing alone:</p>
<p>[Admission</a> by exam | UC Admissions](<a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/requirements/examination/index.html]Admission”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/requirements/examination/index.html)</p>
<p>The “exceptions” are for the kids of heads-of-state and other luminaries, not to mention recruited athletes.</p>
<p>If you check out their website, they do say every campus has a few slots for kids who don’t make the requirements due to homeschooling or other situations. Like another poster mentioned, 2 years minimum is a standard even at the CSU schools.</p>
<p>Another option is to take a lab science at the community college next semester. 1 semester equals a whole year and there are several options from biology and chemistry to oceanography and physical anthropology. Just make sure they are UC transferable and they will count.</p>
<p>Are you sure you don’t have a 2nd year? Maybe you aren’t counting a science you don’t realize qualifies as a lab science? That is unusual. Most High Schools require at least biology and physics and both those are considered labs.</p>
