my suggestion is still: get in UCSD, cause 1 year of waiting doesn't really worth for the school name (difference between UCLA and UCSD is not so big)

if he really want to stay 1 more year to raise his GPA, then Math are good courses to take (if possible, take up to Linear Algebra _ what I have regret that I couldn't).

The second is an other additional English course. He can select anything for the rest.

In the next Winter and Spring (if your cc is quarter system). I would recommend him to take Business courses for A.A degree which will really helpful for his future career, this benefit will partly cover the 1 additional year lost in cc.

Have you been at your CC for 3 years as well?

lol, in the first year, I couldn't even listen and understand English T_T, I had to take over 50 Units of ESL courses in the first year and half of the second year. That was why. I have about 160-170 units including ESL so far haha. I am senior now ^_^. JK

What if he decided to take easier 5 unit courses than math? Courses like chem, geology, spanish, etc. Would this be ok with UCLA?

as I said, he "should" (not "must") take 1-2 more higher level Math and 1 English to because he got 2 B in those subjects (probably increase his chance to get accepted next year). the rest he can choose anything he wants.

If he doesn't want to take Math..... Well, I don;t know, I just think it's not a good choice.

Quick question, do winter grades count toward your app gpa? I was under the impression that you update your winter session grades after it is over and it counts toward your admission.

s_dragon

only for Fall grade (both Semester and Quarter). that's why I said: your friend can take other UC untransferable Bus classes for his AA degree after Fall.

We don't up winter grade, only Fall
