Hi guys! So I applied to transfer for the fall of 2018 to five of the UCs and I’m a one year transfer. I’m like panicking last minute though because I feel like I filled out the application wrong. I’m afraid the UCs won’t know that one third of my credits are from my AP exams and I’m also worried because when I submitted my application this message popped up saying “the number of units you’ve reported (65 quarter units) does not meet the minimum required—even though I have 28 units from AP exams. Should I be worried that the UCs I applied to didn’t understand my situation or is this normal for them? Any insight would be great because I’m low key scared lol
Hey there,
On the application there’s a section called “Test Scores”, I’m sure you’ll be fine if you entered in all your tests there. There are also various boxes around the app to explain additional circumstances. Since decisions are mere weeks away you might just ride this out, you could call or email admissions to clarify.
If you entered the AP exams, admissions will figure it out. Disregard the unit message.
So if I passed the AP English Language, AP English Literature, AP US History, AP European History, and AP Statistics Exam does this mean that I receive 28 units? Thanks for the response.
Yes, 28 qtr
— unless you duplicated something (like took an English composition course or duplicate stats course or duplicate history course). They would remove the duplicate units.
So I had another question actually sorry for so many of them lol I took an English Critical Thinking course to complete the second English requirement for IGETC. And the reason I did this was because on the IGETC UC page it says that the AP exam can only cover the English Composition course, not the Critical Thinking English course. So I didn’t take a duplicate course for English did I? Thanks again!! I really really appreciate it.
^^^ not a duplication. You only get credit for first.
Did u guys go to community college cuz u didn’t get into a Cal State or because u wanted to go to a UC and it’s much easier like that?
@CaliUSA7 if you want to go to a UC go to CC!!! Don’t just choose a CSU you don’t want to go to. It is very easy to transfer to a UC, much easier than applying as a freshman.
-signed a very anxious CSU transfer full of regrets
@turtle567 hi! i’m in the same boat, i was super scared because i got that message when i was submitting my application too [one year transfer as well, counting AP and cc units when i was in hs] i’m sure you’re fine, but if you’re really scared go talk to your cc counselor！ i talked to my honors counselor for TAP and he said i was at exactly 61 units lol… good luck!!
@lovela hi!! Nice to know there are other one year transfers as well! The only reason I was worried was because I tagged to Irvine and I haven’t heard anything back yet so I thought I screwed something up on the application regarding my units. I’ll probably go talk to my counselor next week just to make sure though! Thanks for the response and good luck to you too!
