<p>@losthope You need 60 units in order to transfer. Seeing that you only have 5 from your AP, yes, it’s going to be difficult for you to transfer in one year. However, if you’re really determined, then I say go for it. I was worried also about not getting good grades while taking heavy course loads, but I mean, I had nothing else going on for me but my education so all my time was spent on school. I did almost no extracurricular activities/volunteering. All my time was spent on school school school. Since you’ll need to complete 55 units before next spring, I suggest you apply to multiple community colleges, including those that are on the quarter system and have a winter session. You’re going to need to do something like 21 units in the fall, 8 units during winter, 21 units in the spring. When choosing your classes (right now is a great time to start researching and planning btw), try to combine your sociology prereqs with IGETC requirements. That way you’ll be tackling two things at the same time. For me, psychology and IGETC overlapped a lot so I was lucky.</p>
<p>@Lachan1 I took 18 units in the Fall and 21 units in the Spring. Surprisingly, 21 units last semester was easier than 18 in the Fall. I think it’s because when you enter college, you experience a culture shock since it’s a new environment. Be prepared for that, and don’t let it get to you. Also, I think Spring was easier because I chose easier professors/classes. Always use Rate My Professor to choose your professors. Also, choose classes that interest you. The more you like learning the stuff, the easier it is.</p>
