<p>I was under the impression that UC intercampus transfers are admitted under different rules, and it seems like they only care about: your reason for transfering, availability of space in the program that you want to transfer into, your GPA and curriculum in regards to preparedness for the program.</p>
<p>CC students can have as many units as they want since there is no such thing as being a junior at a two year school. Students who have any credits from a four year school can reach junior status and they need to worry about going over the max amount of units.</p>
<p>I still don't see the difference between 84 unites versus 80 units, it is a technicality. and if they throw out my app on this, I really don't care. I will be applying to other schools besides Berkeley. </p>
<p>I think the cap is there to deter people who are almost done with their current major to transfer out. This is hardly an issue with the bioE curriculum that I am currently in, which does not begin to specialize until the third year.</p>
<p>You are right there is not much of a difference. I believe they are just trying to make sure you take a certain number of units at their school before you graduate. In any case, I just brought it up because it says on their transfer flyer that students with more then the maximum amount of units will not be admitted to most programs. Whether or not that includes your major I have no idea. Good luck with your applications though!</p>
<p>thanks, engineers also tend to have more units because of heavier courseload. I believe the cap for maximum allowable units is like 60 units higher for engineers at UCSD.</p>
