I am a Californian student (HS c/o 2015) who spend 3 semesters at a private university before realizing I wanted to switch my major and save money. As a result, I am planning to attend 3 semesters at community college before transferring to university once more. As of Spring 2017, I am currently enrolling at a CCC.
I wish to apply for a UC TAG for Davis for Fall 2018, which guarantees me admission if I do not exceed 80 semester units and have a minimum 3.40 GPA. After some calculating, I am expected to have ~100 semester units, with an expected GPA of 3.40+ (we'll wait and see...). However, I have some concerns regarding admission because of my excessive amount of units.
I understand that the TAG's "UC lower-division unit limitations and exclusions" policy makes it so that I won't go over 70 units, therefore I do not need to worry about my coursework that are lower-division, as it'll cap at 70.
However, I did take 3 classes that MIGHT be Upper-division (idk if they are b/c my counselors haven't gotten to me yet), which will count over 70 units, and possibly exceed the max of 80 units, nullifying my eligibility for TAG.
I have 3 main questions:
1) Given that I do, unfortunately, exceed 80 units, will I pass through general admission with the same Lower Division 70-unit cap?
2) Because there's a 70-unit cap, will that affect how my Transfer GPA will come out? (Let's say I have 3.5 overall GPA for all 100 units; how will that be scaled when applying the 70-unit cap?)
3) The upper-division classes I took were 4 semester units of Human Anatomy (BIOS 254), 3 semester units of Abnormal Psychology (PSYC 304), and 4 semester units of Organic Chemistry I (CHEM 311).
-I am unsure as to BIOS 254 is lower-division or upper-division, which will ULTIMATELY decide whether my unit load is under or over 80 units. I do know 300+ classes are Upper Division, though. Also, Davis has all 3 courses as Upper-Division. How should I go about this?
Anything will help. Thank you.
