will this hold me back from transfering to berkeley?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I'm in my final semester at a California cc, I have a 3.9 gpa, and I have completed all of the college of letters and science breadth requirements, including the 7 course breadth. I wrote what I felt was a good application essay, which I had three different people edit. Overall I feel like I had a strong application, as I have lots of interesting work experience after high school, and a lot of experience related to my major outside of school.</p>

<p>Here's the problem:</p>

<p>Of my 60.5 units, only 52.5 are UC transferable. The reason being, I had initially planned on transfering to SF State, but decided on Berkeley last semester.</p>

<p>The college of L & S states they require 60 UC transferable units. Are they strict about this? Given a strong application and all breadths filled, will they bend the rules, or will I have to stay another semester at community college?</p>

<p>Call the office of admissions. They can help you out more than anyone here.</p>

<p>Yeah, really...
this can be answered really easily if you call the admissions office.</p>

<p>People here are some high school students, parents, and some college students.</p>

<p>That's it.</p>

<p>I don't think anybody would be able to answer that.</p>

<p>nah, don't worry. they make it sound all strict and stuff, but in reality they don't give a bull's arse about it. i've seen people here who didn't complete their ochem series, even though it is stated as the MINIMUM requirement for admission to L&S as MCB. some haven't finished their IGETC, etc etc... i took 83 units altogether, and they only transferred 58 units i think. i have no idea how this happened</p>
