How I transfered in one year.

<p>Anyone that wants to transfer in one year can do it, they just need to work hard.</p>

<p>This course load completed igetc, the only classes that were extra where Japanese 202 and Japanese 210.</p>

<p>What’s your major, though? </p>

<p>Sure it may work for you, but nearly impossible for bio/engineering/math/etc majors, especially when the university wants you to complete all pre-reqs first (not to mention not everyone gets placed into Calculus their freshman year). At my college, the way the Biology classes are set up is that if you’re going to UCI as a Bio major, you must start with Bio 93 and end with Bio 99/99L, and that takes up two whole years, not counting IGETC.</p>

<p>well you must be Japanese because I doubt anyone would be able to get/need 4 classes of Japanese.</p>

<p>Computer Science major, transferring to UCSD, they have no problem with me finishing my Major prep there as long as IGETC is finished.</p>

<p>wow biggest bs ever tbh…I’m here taking 2 math classes, 1 physics with calc and 2 other classes for 18 units and you take 1 math class + 3 easy classes a semester and that’s it?</p>

<p>awesome</p>

<p>good job though, I’m a computer science major at UCSD too. Just mad at how stupid the system is.</p>

<p>@jg2290, I wish I was japanese, would have made my life easier. I am as white as they come.</p>

That is really awesome that you finished in one year. However, you will probably be at UCSD for 3 years since you haven’t finished really any pre-reqs. For a lot of students, this wouldn’t be ideal and like what Soprano said, this would have never worked for a major like Eng/Science or sometimes math since UCs generally require/rec genchem, bio, and often more physics & ochem. But good job :slight_smile: Good luck at SD</p>

<p>@killmyentourage, I could have applied for any engineering or any other major for that matter. I was accepted into the Jacob School of Engineering for CS and the only prereqs I need to finish are calc III (which I am taking over summer) and Physics 2B which I am taking my first quarter at UCSD, and I will be done at UCSD in 2 1/2 years. (taking 3 classes per quarter)</p>

<p>Hmm… did you have TAG?</p>

<p>@killmyentourage, yes, I did IGETC/TAG which allows me to transfer regardless of the prereqs I need. CS is nice because they only require Calc I, Calc II, Calc III, Physics 2A, Physics 2B, Discrete math, Linear Algebra and IGETC for my GE classes to be satisfied. I am taking Discrete Math at UCSD too because I feel it is important to learn it at UCSD and not at a community college since it will be a huge part of my major, but otherwise I am not far behind, and I am still considered a Junior.</p>

<p>I see. Since you don’t have much room in your schedule, I would make sure that the classes are going to be offered in the quarter you need them. And I take it you haven’t registered yet? You basically need to take either CSE 8B (which isn’t offered in the Fall) or CSE 11 (which is full) as pre-reqs to most of your classes. I’m confused as to what classes you’d be taking in the Fall since you need 8B or 11 as pre-reqs for CSE 12/15L and 20 which in turn are pre-reqs for CSE 21 and 30. All of these are basically also pre-reqs for your Upper Division. CSE 91 is also full. What classes do you plan on taking?</p>

<p>@killmyentourage, Yeah my fall quarter is kinda messed up, I took a placement exam and placed out of CSE 11, yet many people tell me it is important to take at UCSD, so I am taking it in fall with ORD. I am also debating to take CSE 20 which is Discrete math, but I wanted to wait till Winter to take it with the better teacher. So I can take Physics 2B and maybe CSE 103 (stats) in fall with CSE 11.</p>

<p>CSE 91 btw is also only for freshmen students, transfers do not need to take it.</p>

<p>Yeah I’d just be careful because I was originally looking at BioEng there and after meeting with a counselor and excessive emails to different professors/dept, I found out that I had to spend 3 years there (with 0 classes to take for 2 of the quarters) just because of when the classes I needed were offered and that there was no way around it. You seem like you’re on top of things but I’d really recommend sitting down and making an Excel file with your schedule for your entire time at SD. The quarter schedule doesn’t change much from year to year so you can go off of the recent F/W/S schedules and see what classes you can manipulate to make the best of your time there and actually try to make sure that the time blocks don’t overlap. Also, you can see if getting consent from instructors without having pre-reqs might make your schedule a bit more flexible… Just some friendly advice from someone who’s worked with a lot of transfer students.</p>

<p>Congrats~</p>

<p>Anyway it was 1.5 years, not 1 year. I did it too[started winter 2010] and got into EECS at Cal. I think it is possible to transfer as an engineering major/bio/math etc in 1.5 years, but not 1 year.</p>

<p>Good luck at UCSD!</p>

<p>Congrats on your hard work!</p>

<p>And yeah, it’s definitely possible. My friend transferred to UCLA in one year, but he had to take about 15 units during his first summer, and 26 units each for the following fall and spring sessions. And we’re on a semester system.</p>

<p>how are you white, with a japanese SN & you went so deep via japanese? sorta suspect you got a W in swimming. you arent even nearly done with alot of GE courses, this course completed list is lacking.</p>

<p>Haha, I am done with all my GE classes except for Calc 3, physics 2B, and discrete math like I said before. I quit swimming Not because I am a fat nerd but because I felt it was to early (had to wake up at 5:30am). Also It is true that it is weird I have taken so many Japanese classes but it interests me and I was able to already meet the minor in Japanese at ucsd by taking them. It also helps that my gf is Japanese and I plan on moving to Japan when I am done with school.</p>

<p>Oh, so you’re a traditional Weeaboo. Makes sense.</p>
