<p>Hi, I’m looking to transfer to a UC school as a math major from Umass Amherst which is out of state. I’d like to attend any UC. I don’t really mind which except for maybe merced and riverside. Please Chance me for the campuses, especially the starred ones (Berkeley<em>,Davis</em>,Irvine<em>,Los Angeles</em>,San Diego,Santa Barbara,Santa Cruz )</p>

<p>Also… if you don’t mind.
I can, if I wanted to, finish all required core math courses for a BA (so not including electives) this next year for Umass and the UCs. Any advice?</p>

<p>Coursework
Summer 2009</p>

<p>Accounting 221 - Introduction to Accounting</p>

<p>Spring 2009</p>

<p>Economics 103 - Introduction to Microeconomics
Economics 104 - Introduction to Macroeconomics
Math 331 - Differential Equations

Physics 284 - Modern Physics</p>

<p>Fall 2008</p>

<p>Computer Science 121 - Introduction to Problem Solving with Java
Math 233 - Multivariable Calculus
Math 235 - Linear Algebra

Philosophy 110 - Introduction to Logic
Physics 181 - Mechanics
Physics 183 - Mechanics Laboratory
Physics 185 - Honors Colloquium for Physics 181</p>

<p>GPA- 3.9 B+ in modern physics and A- in macroeconomics (As in everything else)</p>

<p>Also courses I took in highschool at a university</p>

<p>Real Analysis at Berkeley B+
Complex and Fourier Analysis at Harvard C+/B- (don’t remember I beleive it was inflated since I was still in highschool)
Organic Chemistry at Harvard continuing education C
Calculus I at Harvard continuing education B+
Calculus II at Harvard continuing education F
Intro Korean at Harvard continuing education D</p>

<p>(some of these are much harder than the courses I took in college, should I keep quiet about these? especially since the grades suck)</p>

<p>AP Physics C Mech 5
AP Physics EM 4
AP CHEM 4
AP USH 3
AP BC CALC 3
SATs 2080 (800 math, 600ish for CR and W)</p>

<p>Tentative coursework for next year</p>

<p>Abstract Algebra 1 and 2
Real Analysis and Complex Analysis
Full year of Gen Chem
2 writing courses
intermediate microeconomics and macroeconomics</p>

<p>Honestly, no one on here can realistically chance anyone from out of state. Its gonna be extremely hard though, try and contact counselors at your school and ask them their thoughts. Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree with Simon. Too difficult to chance you.</p>

<p>You have to report all courses you took at a post-secondary institution. Thus, you better have a damn good reason why your grades were poor other than “they were harder”.</p>

<p>OOS applicants are at the bottom of the application pool, behind CC in state, UC to UC transfers, and then applicants from other four year institutions.</p>

<p>I don’t want to burst you bubble or give you doubt, but you asked. What’s your GPA at UMass? I also feel like if you can graduate within a year at UC, then you might be over the unit limit for transfer. If you’re a senior at UMass, you may be a senior by UC standards, and you cannot transfer as a senior.</p>

<p>Only if you enjoy the consequences of punishment.</p>

<p>he has to report the college courses he took in highschool even though he took them before becoming a college student?</p>

<p>^All college coursework must be noted, regardless of the time you took them.</p>

<p>Apply and see if you get in. If you don’t, there is always grad school.</p>

<p>Wow. Those college courses in high school are really unfortunate.</p>

<p>If you didn’t have those, I’d say you’d have really solid shots at all of the schools, with slight reaches for Berkeley/LA since you’re out of state. Those college courses add another variable to the mix that is difficult to assess. </p>

<p>You should definitely still apply though- I strongly believe that you still have good shots at all the schools except for UCLA and Berkeley which might be difficult. In any case, applying has a pretty limited downside. Good luck.</p>
