Which CCC?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>I'm a second semester freshman at a 4-year private university in Michigan. I plan on moving to California over the summer and attending a community college for one year, with the ultimate goal of transferring to UC Berkeley after the year. I will have 36 credits after the end of this semester and I am in the Honors College here. My question to you is: Will my transferable credits from my current school be usable to fulfill breadth/prerequisite requirements? (2) What is the best CCC to attend to transfer to Berkeley-Haas? The current plan is Santa Monica College, but it isn't concrete yet.</p>

<p>Thanks A Lot!

<p>de anza / foothill ftw!</p>

<p>also DVC has a high number of students that transfer to berkeley. </p>

<p>You might want to find out if they would still consider you OOS though…</p>

<p>If you are transferring for the priority given to CCC applicants, it will unfortunately not apply to you due to the fact you have earned more than 30 semester units at an institution other than a CCC.</p>

<p>From what I understand, having 30 credits from a four year institution does not preclude you from being considered a CCC student. However–and I’m assuming here that you’re a dependent student and will not be able to establish residency–Berkeley does not give CCC priority to non-residents who otherwise satisfy CCC criteria. You may still get a boon over other OOS applicants, however, in your completion of coursework that is guaranteed to transfer.</p>

<p>As for your questions: (1) It depends. If you’re trying to fulfill Berkeley’s requirements directly, then the only thing you can do is guess. You fill out the app with the courses you think apply, and hope that they do. Berkeley won’t tell you how your courses transfer until after you enroll. OTOH, if you complete IGETC through you CCC, you’ll be able to meet with a counselor this summer to determine what courses may be used to fulfill IGETC, and hence you’ll know what you need to take. Unfortunately nothing you can do about pre-reqs except hope or retake.</p>

<p>(2) Really, any CCC will do. SMC is nice, and they have quite a selection of classes both physical and distance. Taking honors classes in California might help.</p>

<p>Hope this helps,
Joe
