Hi! So I had this whole elaborate plan of transferring in one year after high school mainly due to my easier major prep coursework and the fact that I had some AP's under my belt. But unfortunately I didn't pass the two I took this year (highkey still in shock about it) so that left me with only 16 units in AP credit :')))). I did summer course and got 18 units with a GPA of 3.9. And this fall quarter I am taking 18 units and I am expecting to do really well in them. My main issues are that I won't have my chem pre-req done for UCLA when its time to apply and I know they strongly encourage to finish it. I will have it done by winter quarter. I want to know how much is that going to lower my chances? Another problem I have is that I only have 47 units done by fall quarter meaning I have 22 units to take in winter and spring quarter. All of which are classes I just need for IGETC and to reach the credit minimum (other than chem). I know 22 units is a lot but I really believe I can handle as I am used to extreme academic pressure due to the fact that my high school was highly competitive and academically challenging. I am also finding the 4 classes I am taking right now and the 3 I took over summer to be extremely easy. But I am worried that the UC's will find it alarming. Will it lower my chances?
My top schools are UCI, UCLA, and UCD. What do you guys think are my chances of getting in? My extracurriculars other than dance are non-existent so I might volunteer at a school. But I do work two part-time jobs. I am also planning to TA for teachers in winter and spring quarter. I don't know if that will help. But feedback would be greatly appreciated. Trust me I know this is really unconventional and pretty risky but I am pretty set on doing it in one year. Thank you!
