<p>“I’ve heard my counselor telling me that UC strongly looks at when your 2 English and 1 math class was completed. If they noticed you have been working and completed them in the early school attendance then it will give you a good impression. If they realize you finished it later (As in the last semesters) then they will see you as the type of person who puts off harder classes till the end. At least that’s what my counselor told me.”</p>
<p>Yeah… Never heard this before and I doubt it’s true.</p>
<p>General pre-reqs are the arguably the hardest classes to get since everyone needs to take them. Thus it is common and perfectly understandable for freshmens to not get a spot in those classes in their first or second semesters because of their low priority. </p>
<p>I don’t know why everyone on this forum thinks their counselors = UC admissions officers. They are not the same. </p>
