Hello everyone.
I am current at a cc in California. It is my sophomore year and I currently have a 3.59 gpa. After this semester, I will be done with all of my gen ed requirements for csu's and will have over 60 units by the time I have finished spring semester.
Now I am either looking to transfer to a csu or a uc (if possible). When I started college I had no clue what I wanted to do, but now I have narrowed it down to either computer science or geology.
Now my issue is that so far I have taken no pre reqs. I planned on taking Calc and phys this semester, but was forced to drop them both due to my counselor encouraging me to skip pre calc before taking both these classes. So now I am currently teaching myself pre calc with a text book in order to take the classes again next year.
I am applying to csu's in October, but do not know if they will accept me because I am a science major with no pre reqs (yet). On the assist site they show calc 1-2 and physics 1-2 as pre reqs for most geology and computer science majors. (also need chem for geology) But do I need to take all of these just to transfer in? For the computer science major most of the programming classes that they say they need are not even offered at my school.
So basically my question is, what are my chances to get accepted into say a UC geology or computer science program or even a csu program. Also looking into usc.

I would like an answer to this as well. I know finishing prereqs are really important for UC's, but is it the same for transferring to CSU's?

I've heard that the most important thing for CSU's was the "golden 4" (the math requirement, english and critical thinking, and speech)

From what some counselors tells me CSU's, like UC's, will generally look at pre-reqs first (High unit majors especially) and then GE's. For engineers they'll want you to finish at least calc 2 and physics 1b (Mech/Thermo). They'll also want you (You must finish these) to finish the Golden 4 classes (Oral, written comm., critical thinking, math).

I'm the opposite of your situation right now. I have all my major pre-reqs done but only a few GE's finished since I'm a high unit major (EE), I already have over 90 units when you factor all my classes in.
