Hope its okay for me to bring this thread back to life. Could someone help me out? I’m a prospective one year transfer student from a CCC.
I’m attempting to transfer to UCLA for business econ and have 22 units from AP credit. My plans are to take 19 units this fall, 17 in the spring, and 5 in the summer which adds up to 63 units. By the end of spring 2016 I will be done with my major prereqs and by the end of summer 2016 I will be done with my IGETC. I cannot get TAP certified because of my higher level courseload at my CCC.
I was planning on being honors certified, and I know it makes me a better candidate, but is it necessary? and are the classes that much harder/more work? I’m asking this from a one year transfer’s prospective as I am overloading my schedule with 5 classes this fall, 3 of them being honors. I know that UCLA’s business econ major is extremely popular and thats why I was going to get honors certified by the time I transfer to be a better candidate. Will UCLA even know I’m on track to be honors certified? I’m not sure if they would even care if I’m a one year transfer.
Was thinking of instead taking all regular classes instead and getting a 4.0, and doing extra curriculars to stand out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
