I am a high school senior that will be graduating June of this year. I am planning to go to community college and transfer into the Aerospace Engineering program of a UC school or Cal Poly SLO. My top choices would be UCLA, SLO, and UCSD ideally. I have a few question regarding how credits work and transfer.
1. As of right now, I have taken 8 AP classes with 4s and 5s on all of them. I will have 11 by the end of this year. (I just didn't try during school, so my low GPA is the reason I didn't get into the schools of my choice.) Will I be able to use these credits and if I do, will the grades I received in these classes affect my college GPA when applying as a transfer student in a year or two?
2. I've read that to apply into the engineering program of the UCs, there are prerequisite courses specifically for engineering along with the IGETC courses. Do I have to complete all the prereqs and IGETC courses before applying as a transfer? Or can I take some of them while I'm waiting for them to respond to my application? (Since I will probably apply during fall 2020 and get my response by April 2021).
