Double thread - UC Confusing over IGETC requirements and UCSB

<p>Dude, UCKid - you’re not listening to me. It’s okay to have 60 units done by Spring 2012. You don’t need to have 60 units done by Fall 2011. But you will want to have your math done by the end of Fall 2011. It reflects very poorly on your application to not have the math course completed by the Fall which you apply to transfer (for you, Fall 2011). Call UCSB and ask their admissions dept how important it is to have the math class complete by the Transfer Application Academic Update deadline (Feb 2012). When I asked, I was told that it was crucial, and that due to the large number of applicants, they give priority to those who have their critical thinking + math completed. If there is space left over, they admit those who are completing math/critical thinking/writing in the spring. However, due to the huge increase in number of transfer applicants over the past couple of years, it’s unlikely that you will be admitted without those classes done. When I applied with the intention of completing math in the spring, I was not admitted - though my GPA was high enough to TAG. The reason stated on my application was “not UC eligible”, although I had 50 units completed by Fall, and both the writing + critical thinking complete.</p>

<p>You can give it a shot, but take it from us, applying without your minimum UC eligibility classes completed is a long shot.</p>

<p>As you probably already know, IGETC and minimum eligibility are two different things. You don’t have to have IGETC done to transfer (i.e. your lab class, or whatever it is you keep mentioning). You do have to have the math and two English courses done.</p>
