Dang... I only have 5. ):

World History - 5
Calculus AB - 5
U.S. History - 4
Psychology - 3
US Gov't - ?

But I have taken 5 community college classes that are UC-transferable but according to assist.org, 3 of them are not UCSD-transferable. Can I still get credit for them? I took them when I wasn't sure which UC I'd be going to...

Sure, all UC transferable courses will get you credits -- many will simply be elective credits, which do not in fact exempt you from any GE or pre-req. classes.

Well, for me, I am bringing one AP, and that is AP Macro.

I've failed Calculus, both English, and History.

Being called an English whizz kind of ****ed me off when I saw that I didn't pass the exam. Oh well, I don't mind taking the college class.

I have to take the math placement exam now to see where I am placed... Hopefully I can get placed into calculus.... If not, FML.

ChristianWu: understand your disappointment. Senioritis affecting APs, happens. Did you take SAT Math Level 2. A score of above 650 or so gets you into Calc.
