<p>I am going to have 67 units completed by the end of the spring semester, which is approximately average for a fall transfer, but the website told me that I had only entered 56.5 units of coursework. I tried to figure out how they go to this number, such as subtracting the units that were listed as “planned” (which didn’t come up with the number 56.5), but, in the end-run, I found out that the way it got to 56 was that there were a few repeatable electives that I took multiple times, and clearly UC doesn’t transfer credit for classes you pass more than once. I am very annoyed because everything else on my application was golden (3.9-ish GPA, great personal statements, all major pre-reqs finished, igetc finished, TAGs, superb soft factors) but this oversight, which no counselor ever thought to mention to me, is going to make me have to sit on my ass for a year and apply next november.</p>
<p>cant you just make up the extra 4 credits in spring?</p>
<p>It’s 60 credits by the end of the spring semester, not 60 by the time you submit your application.
Out of curiosity, why’d you repeat classes you already passed?</p>
<p>“It’s 60 credits by the end of the spring semester, not 60 by the time you submit your application.”
The computer said I’ll only have 56 credits by the end of the spring semester, rather than the 67 that I will have actually logged.</p>
<p>“Out of curiosity, why’d you repeat classes you already passed?”</p>
<p>They were performance classes. One was the class you sign up for when you perform in a play, the other ones were improv ensemble classes. The nature of the classes was that you weren’t learning the same thing every time, especially in the case of the theatre production class, as I was a part of it for two entirely different plays.</p>
<p>The sad irony of the matter is that there were 3 classes, totaling 7 units, that I took but didn’t sign up for because I didn’t want to end up with too many units, and now I’m worried about ending up with not enough units.</p>
<p>“cant you just make up the extra 4 credits in spring?”</p>
<p>That’s probably what I’ll do, but 17 units and 20-25 hours per week of an internship in the same semester will be pretty tough.</p>
<p>Besides UCLA, Cal, and UCSD, I believe the other UC’s accept summer credit. Just a thought.</p>
