I don’t wish to be cruel nor harsh but, I personally don’t think you will get in next Fall because you will only have 1 quarter/semester of recorded grades from the CC to submit. The UC’s want to see how a student performs outside of the protectiveness of the high school schedule.

One way to ameliorate this is to take as many pre-major classes as possible first semester since UCLA will see those grades in the winter update. As a poli-sci major admissions may care more about how the student does in those pre-major classes then in general GE.

Also the OP mentioned that only 4 of the 6 pre-major classes are offered at their CC and that you only need to complete 3. It sounds like the OP lives in the greater LA area so there should be plenty of CCs around. They should check if other nearby CCs offer the missing two and take them if possible. Maybe this summer. Having all 6 and doing well in them bolsters their case.
