Ways to transfer Faster?

Transfer Students

Hello!
This is my first year in community college and unfortunately I scored low on both math and English accuplacer. I was reassured that my low grade didn’t matter because I could be placed in classes based of my High School grades but when I met with my college counselor in the summer she brushed it aside and told me I would have to take a REALLY LOW math and would have to stay for 5 years.

Because if this I was placed into Eng 101 and MAT Arithmetic and so I decided I’d study harder and retake the accuplacer this month and just take my humanity classes fall 2016 but because registration for spring already begun I made an appointment with another counselor who told me I COULD of taken math 123 and Eng 1A so I totally wasted my chance of transferring in 2 years because my first counselor made a mistake.

I Must all these classes: http://web2.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=HARTNELL&ria=UCLA&ia=HARTNELL&oia=UCLA&aay=16-17&ay=16-17&dora=BIOL before I can transfer to a UC but I was wondering if it is possible to transfer by Spring 2018…?

I have heard of winter intersession but my school does not provide it .

Does anyone know of any schools in California community colleges that may offer MAT 123 or MAT 13, PHY 4B, CHM 1B…? Or help me out?

I planned to take

Spring 2017: MAT 123, ENG 1A, SOC 1, MUS 5(advised by counselor)
Summer 2017: MAT 13, BIO 1, CHM 1A, ENG 2
Fall 2017: MAT 3A, BIO 2, CHM 1B, PHY 4A
Spring 2018: MAT 3B, BIO 3, CHM 12A, PHY 4B

But that still leaves out MAT 3C, CHM 12B, PHY 4C …

What’s your first choice UC? If it’s UCLA, then you might have to stay another year at a CC. Assist says Ochem OR physics should be done for UCLA. Is there any way to take Chem 1A in the spring? That seems more beneficial because you can finish Ochem by Spring '18, and if you can do that, you will be in good shape for transfer.

Other UCs don’t require for all of those to be done before transfer. Irvine requires Gen Chem, OChem, and Bio. UCSB just requires Gen Chem and Bio.

It looks like you are trying to take 18 to 20 units per semester. That doesn’t seem healthy. If you’re taking Calculus based physics before you even had a calculus class, you most likely will struggle if you don’t have those fundamental math concepts down. On it Assist, it says you should take Physics at UCLA if your college doesn’t offer a two semester sequence of physics.

What I think you should do:

  1. Start your chem ASAP, try to get into Ochem by the Fall
  2. Try to get into Calc 1 by next Fall
  3. Get that one year of Bio in
  4. Don’t take physics
