<p>Alright. So I’m not sure if you’re confused about the application process, but yes, you apply to UCs or CSUs about 10 months before you actually start attending. You can only submit the UC application between November 1-30th (for the following Fall) and depending on the UC, you will find out where you’re accepted sometime between March-early May. </p>
<p>Even though some of your classes weren’t transferable (even if you didn’t do well in them), you have a 4.0 as a transferable UC GPA so you’re in good shape. If you have an idea about which UC you would like to go to, you can check out some information about TAG ([University</a> of California - Transfer Admission Guarantee](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/guarantee/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/guarantee/index.html)) which is an application you fill out September 1-30th to ONE UC that can potentially guarantee you an acceptance of admission IFF you fulfill certain criteria and complete classes. The <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/files/ETS11_TAGMatrix_rev070111.pdf[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/files/ETS11_TAGMatrix_rev070111.pdf</a> sums up a lot of the information but each individual school differs. Additionally, you would need 60 UC transferable units by the end of this Spring semester for ALL of the UCs (not negotiable) and some require you to finish specific classes (Ex. some require both core ENGL classes to be completed by the end of Fall while others just want them done by Spring).</p>
<p>For IGETC, you need to complete:
1A - English Composition (which you said you completed with your AP test correct? Double check on this and make sure that you can use your AP score to satisfy this.)
1B - ENGL 202, 203, 215 (I would recommend 202 because this is the class that most people take and will have a lot of sections, also 203 is literature based and in my opinion = more boring)
2A - UC transferable math class (MATH 100 or anything higher)
3A - CINE 100 & 122 already fulfilled this area
3B - Pick one class from the Humanities list on assist.org (does not overlap with 1B)
4 - This section is broken down into 10 areas (A-H). POSC 102 & 110 are both in area H. You need an additional class in a DIFFERENT area (A-G or I-J)
5A - Pick one class from Physical Science list WITH lab (you must take a lab since you didn’t take the Lab with ANTH 100 --unless you did)
5B - ANTH 100 fulfilled this area
Language - 2 years of a single language in HS with acceptable grades
AmerHist/Inst - Information found [University</a> of California - American history & institutions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/graduation-requirements/history/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/graduation-requirements/history/index.html) though you probably completed this requirement in HS.</p>
<p>Overall, for the IGETC, you need to take a class in 1B (ENGL), 2A (MATH), 3B (HUM), 4 (not H), 5A with Lab (PHYS SCI) and make sure you’ve completed the Language and AmerHIst/Inst requirement.</p>
<p>As for your major preparatory coursework, what you need to do is sit down with an Excel file and use assist.org to list all the potential classes you would have to take under different majors at each of the UCs you are interested in. For Ex.</p>
<p>If you wanted to go to UCI and major in History:
2 HIST Courses from different regions - Ex. HIST 101 (American Hist) & HIST 105 (West Civ Hist) In this case, you could search for if the 3 on your AP test would exempt you from having to take HIST 101. Also, HIST 105 also fulfills area 3B (HUM) so you could be completing one of your major pre-reqs and additionally completing part of your IGETC.
1 PHIL Course - (100, 101, 103, 105, 130, 135, 136) These also satisfy area 3B.
Additional Hist courses.</p>
<p>Though if you wanted to go to UCI and major in PolSci:
POSC 100 - (In area 4H so does not overlap any additional IGETC requirements)
POSC 101 - (also in area 4H)
1 Comp Sci Course - (CSWB 170 or CSCI 222) 170 would be much easier.
Math 140 - Calc (would also count as transferable math course)
Math 120 or PSYC/SOC 205 - Stat</p>
<p>Conclusively, you need to take the IGETC classes I mentioned above in addition to the major coursework pertaining to the UCs you would like to go to (numerous UCs will have comparable requirements but may vary slightly). Since you need 60 units by the end of Spring semester, count how many you still need (Ex. if you only have 20 UC transferable units so far, you need 40 between Fall and Spring semester = take 20 units this Fall and 20 in Spring). As for Fall semester, you should definitely register for a UC transferable math class (anything 100 or above – try to take the Math placement test again if you’re still stuck at lower level non transferable math) and your 2nd Engl class (or the 1st if your AP score for some reason doesn’t count).</p>
