<p>First of all thanks for the help and the comments. Actually to think of it now, I chose an option that says “IGETC certified prior to transfer”. When I answered “Yes” to this option, in my mind I was thinking summer included! I needed the summer session to complete my IGETC. Isn?t that what “prior to transfer” means? Anywhere “prior to transfer” means obviously after the summer right? UCI on the other hand allows 6 units in the summer, so keeping this in my mind I chose “IGETC certified prior to transfer” disregarding UCLA and Cal. after all, we had one application to fill for UCs…no other choice. You guys see what I mean? Since UCI accepts my completion of IGETC over the summer I chose “Yes” for “IGETC certified prior to transfer” in my UC application.</p>
<p>My major is Political Science</p>
<p>kevintech-yes i am applying to physiological science. I have all prereq’s done except the third semester of bio which is the same as ls 3,4 at ucla. I could have completed bio, but there was a schedule of conflict between organic and i picked organic over bio 
I don’t know how that’s going to affect me tho. I’m assuming you have all your prereq’s done right?</p>
<p>Unknown-yes technically “prior to transfer” means before you transfer which means that summer is included. But according to the uc’s it usually means the spring before you transfer unless they make exceptions.</p>
<p>Have you done biochem sakura?</p>
<p>sakura:</p>
<p>that’s excatly my point! so UCI is one of those schools that made an exception as you know! Then in that case I had no choice to choose “IGETC certified prior to transfer” option because of UCI. Someone here said to me that it might raise red flags. how well it raise flags?</p>
<p>celiheartscc
what are your stats?</p>
<p>kevintech- you need biochem for the major? for my cc all it says on assist is that i need 3 semester of bio to fulfull the ls series. I thought biochem was for the upper division requirement (chem 153A).</p>
<p>To both m<em>lp</em>ql_m and Unknown726:</p>
<p>UCs vary as to whether or not it accepts summer coursework for IGETC certification. UCLA econ, for starters, expects IGETC to be completed by spring prior to transfer(if you were at the TAP conference, too impacted such that those with IGETC are generally par). In all honesty, there isn’t one straight answer. UCI will allow 6 units. Haas will not allow any because if you’re accepted, you can’t take any courses over the summer. </p>
<p>Rule of thumb: Impacted majors at the higher tier schools will <em>generally</em> require or --highly-- recommend the completion of IGETC by spring prior to transfer. </p>
<p>Majors that aren’t impacted or engineering(duhism, if you are engineering and don’t know that well…): Don’t stress out too much about IGETC.</p>
<hr>
<p>Like I said, maybe there’s an excemption situation at your school. See if you qualify for it. If not, call each UC school and have them clarify the situation. UCLA/UCB haven’t released decisions so if having IGETC completed doesn’t really apply to you(not in an impacted major), then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.</p>
<hr>
<p>I guess Haas changed the requirements! It was required under my articulation agreement and was a considerable factor in the admissions process.</p>
<hr>
<p>But merely following the Haas requirements and not completing the IGETC is an easy way to get rejected by both UCLA/Berkeley if you don’t have the stats to get into berkeley, you won’t have the stats to get into UCLA(for econ) without IGETC since IGETC is sooooo highly recommended along with the Accounting sequence.</p>
<p>many engineering majors are impacted, and engineering schools usually don’t take igetc… neither does haas.</p>
<p>Hmmm… CCC TAP here, no UCLA scholarship email. That’s OK, I’m rich enough… [yea, right]</p>
<p>Yeah m<em>lp</em>ql_m I am CCC and TAP also, I haven’t seen any scholarship e-mail. I talked to a couple of TAP friends tonight and they haven’t seen it either. Maybe they are sending them out to certain CC’s for whatever reason.</p>
<p>Or maybe we are screwed! :)</p>
<p>verdet: I’m sure the database is organized in a certain manner. Maybe it starts by school. My school starts with an M. So maybe A-M? then N-Z? Also, there’s a GPA restriction of 3.75 or greater.</p>
<p>I don’t think its something to worry about. Don’t panic</p>
<p>JPNguyen:</p>
<p>Thank you for the info, help and clarification my man. May God help you get in Cal because you deserve it! </p>
<p>My major is chemistry and it seems like chem major might not be an impacted major. Anyways I did send UCLA an email…I don’t want to call them now heh. It shouldn’t matter much whether you are IGETC certified or ALMOST certified! Does it? After all, I?m only 2 classes short of IGETC. I will be taking those 2 classes over the summer no matter what! Now my question is can I transfer these summer credits once I’m admitted to UCLA?</p>
<p>I hope you are right, but I have a 3.82 and my CC starts with an L.</p>
<p>To: Unknown</p>
<p>Regarding IGETC Certification, here is what is says on my TAP certification form:</p>
<p>“Summer coursework is allowed for IGETC (except for the English Composition, Critical Thinking and Quantitative Reasoning Areas), additional major preperation, and additional units only, but is not included as criteria in our admission decision process.” </p>
<p>Maybe this is only for TAP but I doubt it. When in doubt call!</p>
<p>Unknown, I’m sure you can transfer them if its towards IGETC. IGETC is only strongly recommended for UCLA College of Letters and Science.</p>
<p>I think I got the E-mail because of the scholarships I checked off, so I’m guessing don’t worry.</p>
<p>Did anyone try activating their UCLA login and all that.</p>
<p>They have this website up:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/NewBruins/NSG_Transfer.htm[/url]”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/NewBruins/NSG_Transfer.htm</a></p>
<p>and it says to activate your ID. So who wants to try?</p>
<p>does anyone have UCLA ID#?</p>
<p>^If you check on the admissions decision site (which is down right now), it gives yours on the top right corner.</p>
<p>So if someone wrote down their UCLA ID, then they could try or just wait until 6AM.</p>
