Hey, glad to help. If you’ve already received an A in both Math 18 and Math 20C, you would just need to crush DSC 10, then you’d be set to transfer. Honestly those seem like pretty nice odds, especially if you’re already into programming and all that. Of course, college can be a tough transition so having a backup major you’d be happy with is essential.

Actually, it would probably be a good idea to email them and check if they take those CC grades, but the website does say:

Q.If I have transfer credit for a Capped Major Screening course, can I retake that course at UC San Diego?

No. Articulated transfer coursework that has been completed with a C- or better (or a Pass grade for AP/IB/A-Level) cannot be repeated for credit at UC San Diego, as it is considered duplicate credit. Therefore, the transferred grade will be factored into your Screening course GPA.

You need to be a student to access CAPEs, which gives in detail statistics from student-reported workload, grades, etc. Here’s something similar for DSC 10 (it may be based on old data): https://smartercapes.com/DSC/10
