Transferring dual-enrollment credits/calculating UC gpa

<p>How easily will 2.5 years worth of University of MN dual-enrollment credits transfer to Berkeley? How to calculate these courses into UC GPA?</p>

<p>nobody knows?</p>

<p>& also for the UCs in general. thanks :D</p>

<p>Call the Office of Undergrad Admissions or go physically ask them on Cal Day</p>

<p>Bump bump…</p>

<p>Last try… it’s probably a long shot…</p>

<p>Hi Ruca:</p>

<p>Since no one is answering, I’ll make a guess and maybe someone will come along and flame me :smiley: and you’ll get a better answer.</p>

<p>My guess would be that you would apply as a freshman because, although you may have a lot of credits, you probably do not have enough breadth requirements fulfilled to apply as a transfer (if my recollection serves). (Which is good because the OOS transfer acceptance rate is a lot lower than the frosh OOS rate.) I really do not know how Cal treats credits from OOS colleges but, since they accept CA community college credits and OOS from transfers, they probably do accept them and if they are deemed acceptable to fulfill requirements they would contribute toward your degree progress. Any credits that were deemed to not fulfill requirements would be accepted, but would not count toward your degree and also would not count toward your maximum allowable credits. (So they wouldn’t tell you “time’s up, you gotta go” based on them–there is a maximum allowable time to graduation.) The accepted credits would also not include any credits your high school required to grant your graduation or Cal counted toward fulfilling required units for admission. The accepted credits would not count toward your Cal GPA–clean slate. There may be a limit to how many credits one can come in with as a freshman. As to how to use the college grades when completing the UC application, I think I remember that they are not weighted when entered (just as honors classes are not weighted for OOS). Only AP’s are weighted for OOS.</p>

<p>That’s almost pure guess. I will ask on Friday when I visit about max. credits a frosh can enter with and how they are treated.</p>

<p>^^ Thank you. That sounds a lot like Michigan’s policy, which I hear is pretty laxly enforced. Maybe Berkeley’s is laxly enforced also. I’ll be interested to here what they say on Friday.</p>

<p>It’s a little discouraging though… subtracting credits I’ve earned that apply to entrance/graduation reqs reduces my credit total by about a year and half. =/</p>

<p>So how did it go on Friday?</p>
