I think missing Discrete will hurt you more than Linear, since Discrete math is tied a little more closely to CS, unless you’re into specific areas like graphics or machine learning. But I’d say apply and see, even if you’re missing both of those. If you get in, good for you, problem solved. If not, well, re-evaluate your options and see what else you can take until next year, maybe even take pre-reqs for other UCs and apply to more than just those two schools.

Or if there’s room in your schedule and you’re strong in math, you could ask your current math teacher if it’d be feasible to take one of those classes concurrently with whatever you’re taking next semester. They should have a good idea of what the course covers and how necessary those pre-reqs really are for your school. But be careful not to take on too much at once, math can be hard both conceptually and in terms of workload.

If you apply this year and end up deciding to stay at CC another year, are there other classes you could take? Obviously you’ll have the two maths, would you be able to take GE requirements, or “strongly recommended” classes to help you after transfer? Any requirement you take at CC is one less class to worry about at UC, after all. :)
