Warning about transferring AP credits + my transfer experience to UCLA

<p>This happened to me in a different way.</p>

<p>I initially wanted to apply to Haas and was cleared of all calc by my counselor at my CC.</p>

<p>I luckily caught that Haas doesn’t take AP credit for AP Calc AB or BC unless you get a 5 on BC and you still have to take Calc II even if you get a 5.</p>

<p>I didn’t even end up applying to Haas and had to retake both Calc classes which I already had credit for, and ended up getting a C in Calc II so it has screwed up my chances for Econ or Math at either UCLA or UCB.</p>

<p>I also had AP credit for English but needed honors credit for TAP and took English anyways. They require in 101H and I didn’t want to risk it.</p>

<p>The biggest lesson is not to ever trust your counselor, make sure to cross reference and also that trying to apply broadly as possible won’t work unless you are definitive on a major the second you start at CC.</p>
