It's 4AM, and I can't sleep right now. I am so worried about college. My registration date is coming up soon, and I still don't know what courses I'm supposed to take. I plan on applying to UCBerkeley Haas, USC Marshall, UCI, and Santa Clara University Leavey. I looked up all the IGETC requirements, UCB breadth requirements, etc. and ended up with 25 courses, including like 4 quarters of Math and 3 quarters of English. Is this normal?! Am I going to be able to complete this in 2 years?

Please help me, I am so confused right now. I haven't been able to get any help from counselors whatsoever. The only information I have been getting is from my cousin and friend. What should I do? Should I just forget about one school so I can cut down on the courseload?

The Math and English courses sound about right (depending on where you tested into). If you can't get in to see your cc counselors just begin by taking the first course in the sequence. You don't need to know your entire course plan right now, you just need to be heading in the right direction. Also, the requirements for USC and SCU will vary from IGETC so you should look up their individual requirements. You will need to decide if you want to take the courses necessary to apply to them as well as the UC system.

Just be happy you're in California, arguably the best place for community college students in the nation. And quit worrying.
