<p>Is taking English by the fall before you transfer really important for UCLA/Berk? I know it is essential for most TAG’s but other than that? I am a bio major by the way.</p>
<p>edit: I meant to say the second semester of college English. I have the first semester completed.</p>
<p>Essential, no, but highly recommended. They’d rather see an English grade on your transcript than an IGETC art class grade.</p>
<p>First priority should be major prerequisites, followed closely by English and math. IGETC is a fairly distant third.</p>
<p>They reject people who don’t finish the english and math reqs after fall (even if those are planned/finished the next semester)</p>
<p>So finish them!</p>
<p>thanks much! i guess i will have to stick with it.</p>
