<p>The classes I took prior to fall application is not as related to my major. Most of them are speech classes, like debate, public speaking, intercultural communication, and group communication, the other speech classes were not UC transferable. In addition to that, I was able to have 2 political science classes, which is my major, 2 philosophy classes, a cultural geography class, Spanish 1, a biology class, a weightlifting class, and I was able to complete my math requirement. For my English, however, the classes I took were not transferable because I placed in a really low English class. I haven't taken any econ classes which I know is significant for my major, but I know, for sure, that I will be able to finish all required classes by spring prior to transfer. Will the UCs take my future classes into consideration before I transfer? Also, I want to know my chances in any UC for political science. Overall, I have a 40 transferable units with a 3.6 gpa.</p>
<p>It might hurt a bit if they can’t see how you’re doing in pre-reqs for your major, but they’ll definitely see that you plan to complete them. When you fill out the application, you list your completed, in progress, and planned courses. In January you update with your fall grades and definite spring schedule. You should be fine.</p>
<p>I’m a psych major, and by Fall when I applied, I had only taken two classes within my major department (this is after two years at CC). I had intercultural studies, music, philosophy, astronomy, speech, literature, languages, photo, sociology, poli sci, anthro…you name it, but only two psych classes, and one was even a double listed child development class. I mean, some of those non-department classes were major prereqs (anthro, soc, poli sci, stats, etc) but I was very worried, especially since I still had two prereqs left for UCLA after fall quarter and one prereq left for Berkeley after fall quarter. BUT all the UCs I applied to (including Berkeley and ULCA) still accepted me. 
Just make sure to finish the prereqs by SPRING and they will see that you’re planning it on your app. I don’t know, maybe it does work against you, but they certainly seemed to look past it for me, and I imagine you’ll be alright too!</p>
