Will taking a large unit load during last semester affect me? UC transfer

Im applying to transfer for fall 2022 and will have most of my major prep and igetc done (for backup major) by winter 2022. I have a 4.0 but am missing only 2 major prep courses for CS that I will be taking this spring. (Physics 2 and 3). I was also taking 4 other electives with these two courses. I was wondering by taking 22 units in the spring during my last semester will affect my admissions chances?

No, taking a high unit load will not affect your admission chances but it puts more pressure on you to do well and pass which will be required to maintain any acceptances. However, having all major prep completed with grades at time of application, would be beneficial for admission to some of the more competitive UC campuses.
