<p>Dude, I am in this boat. I think you could be wrong when you said 86 from the 4 year and 100 from CC is okay. From all the correspondences I have had with UC Berk, Santa Cruz, and Davis that is the max COMBO of credits you can have. In this case you are talking about UCLA and 86 is their limit. UC Santa Cruz is 90 semester units max, that is combo of 4 yr and CC. I have 19 4 year and something like 76 from my CC. From what I was told is 70 will be used from my CC and all 19 form my 4 year will count so this brings me to 89 total. I would not be able to apply to UCLA but UCSC is okay. Of course there is exceptions. I think Davis has a different rule that even if you surpass the max allowed you will still be considered for enrollment you will just have a more in depth look at by the dept you are applying too. Berk is different in saying as long as the college you are transferring from is a CC then there is no unit cap, you fall under the example you gave about having 86 from the 4 year and 100 from CC then you are fine. </p>
<p>Check that link and read very carefully. I flipped out for about a week because my school counselor told me to drop out of school this whole year to not go over the unit cap for any school. I found that link and showed it to him, making him feel like a dip**** that he is and further sense of relief for myself because 1) could apply to UC schools and 2) didnt have to drop out of school</p>
