So does anyone know if I have to finish IGETC? Or if it's for those of lower unit majors, because I'm a second semester freshman with 50+ units. And yes, i'm planning on transferring to a UC.
Nevermind, nevermind. I read that in intensive majors such as Biological Sciences, Engineering, etc. IGETC is unnecessary to complete, and the student should instead concentrate on completion of lower-division classes. But thank you for your help!

are you kidding me?! that's my major too!
I'm barely skating by with 61 units (taking Statistics now... if I screw up, I'm screwed) @ 3.5 GPA.
Not really much extracurricular activities but in the military for 3 years and a deployment.
I didn't even know you could apply to schools in the east coast as a CC transfer... I don't think I would have gone though; too many benefits as a California resident in UC's to miss out on.
Looks like you worked hard over the last few years with all that work... What part of Cali are you from anyways?

Well, I wanted to be in the dorms till I read this:
Note: Housing in a specific facility or room type is not part of the Housing Guarantee. Most transfer students who live on campus will be assigned to triple rooms.
If that really is the case, I'll probably have to stay in the UCLA apt. Is the process the same thing as dorms though? (Where they just room you up with someone else? Or will I have to go out and find someone?)

UCLA only chooses 30 people from the Theatre majors, so it's pretty tough and I screwed up the interview.
Oh well, SD it is~

I'm also in a dilemma. I decided to major in Aerospace Engineering just recently, and this is my 2nd semester at a CC. So far I've got 24 credits of GED for IGETC. The pre-reqs for Aerospace Engineering at UCSD are three calculus classes, two physics classes, computer programming class, and one chemistry class. Other UC's will include another two math classes. Would I need to finish all of my pre-reqs before applying to UCSD? It'd take me probably another 2-3 years to finish them all =/
