Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I was a 23yr old nursing student at a ccc on my first semester of classes then I became paralyzed from the chest down. Long story short I talked to the nursing director and said I cannot be licensed so I am looking at other majors. I am interested in business and want to attend a UC. </p>

<p>This is where I need some help, I believe I have a 3.25 gpa with around 65 units and I need to complete college alg up to calc ii and some a business and Econ course to transfer. Is it possible get accepted to a UC, or should I just get into a csu and do well in hopes of getting into a better grad school?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help, I’m pretty lost.</p>

<p>You can still be accepted. Just have a competitive GPA, finish your stuff, and mention that in your Personal Statement.</p>

<p>Would it be better to stay in the cc and take more classes in hopes of bringing my gpa up or transfer to a csu business prog</p>

<p>UC has limited amount of courses (UC-transferable courses only) that they accept. I believe 90 unit is the absolute max limit. </p>

<p>It’s entirely up to you</p>

<p>The UCs won’t penalize you if you take more than 90 credits at a CCC (as long as they are ALL at a CCC). The worst is that over the 90 or so credits they won’t transfer. But if it boosts your GPA for admission to the UC, why not?</p>

<p>You are almost “independent” in terms of FAFSA (kicks in at age 24)… don’t overlook private colleges which may give you some interesting FA packages because of your life story… get your GPA up as high as possible and check out places like Santa Clara University.</p>

<p>Annika is correct, you can’t reach Senior standing at a CCC (with only CCC units). Up to 70 units will transfer and count towards graduation, anything past that will transfer for subject credit (pre-reqs) but not count towards graduating.</p>

<p>there is no unit max if all your classes are from community colleges. You can tag w/ UCSB, UCI, UCD and probably UCRand UCM (haven’t checked their tag agreements)</p>

<p>Yeah I agree with everyone before me. IF you have taken 4-year university classes, then, for some schools, they will make the absolute unit limit at 90 SEMESTER units or 120 quarter units (my CCC is quarter system… and yes, it’s awesome)</p>
