What to do about UC application/transfer?!?

Last year I applied as a freshman to UCLA and UCI. I got into UCI but not LA and I really want to go to LA for CS. To save my mom money, I decided to go to a CC for general ed but am quickly realizing I’m completely out of my element at this school and don’t have nearly as many opportunities as I’d like. Do to some obstacles I’m currently only able to take 9 units for this Fall because my school is like the damn dmv… So now I have a couple questions:

1) Is it possible to apply and be accepted to the UCI spring semester for 2011 because I was already admitted as a freshman? or do I still have to do all gen. ed?
2) UCLA says they don’t accept IGETC, so what do I take!? Just take as many computer science/math pre req’s until I have 60 units?
3) UCLA’s site says that ap scores don’t satisfy general ed requirements on this link [AP Credit - College of Letters and Science - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/APCreditLS.htm) but I have about 48 units from AP scores listed on this chart… am I out of luck…?
4) Aside from money!! What is my best option? Trying to go to UCI in spring (if possible), applying for UCLA’s Fall 2011 and staying at CC or applying for UCI in Fall 2011?

I know its a lot… but my school has the worst admissions/admin system so it’s hard to get questions answered or counseling answers

Thanks!
