Hi @soda4schrodinger thanks for taking the time to reply to me! First off good luck with getting into Berkeley!
I am actually really stoked that I have the opportunity to transfer into these universities. I never thought I would do good enough in UCR to become a competitive applicant in transferring.
So for the four UCs that I am planning to apply to, here are the prerequisites that I need to complete that I do not have to take in UCR (i think).
UCB: differential equations, linear algebra

UCLA: differential equations, chemistry, linear algebra

UCSD: differential equations, linear algebra

UCI has no special requirements
So only UCLA has chemistry as its requirement, but I still want to have a good chance at UCLA. So for next year I should take differential equations, linear algebra, and chemistry until the end of spring quarter…
I’m scared that after taking all these extra classes, I get rejected to all the UCs that I apply to and I will be stuck graduating late and behind the rest of my peers.
If it’s not too much work, is it possible if you can tell me what classes you took in UCSB before the transfer? Thank you. I hope all my information right now is correct as I don’t want to work so hard academically to forget a prerequisite here and there. Thanks!
