Path from PCC to Target Schools

Search for online versions of the classes, and always search for the honors SECTION of the course if it isn't an honors course. You have to complete at least 6 honors sections for the program to be complete.

UCLA GE's Missing from this Plan (All other necessities for transfer, including major prep and IGETC are satisfied).

  • Philosophical and Linguistic Analysis (Could we get PHIL 025 to satisfy this)?

  • 1 course from Life Sciences (We have 1 of 2 required)

  • 1 course from Physical Sciences (We have 1 of 2 required)

  • Foreign Language Requirement


Summer '17


Fall '17


Winter '18


Spring '18

  • (3) ECON 001A: Principles of Economics: Macro-economics (Area 4, UCLA, UPenn)

  • (10) MATH 005B/005C: Single Variable Calculus and Multivariable Calculus (UCLA's Multi Calc is 2 semesters. See what's missing) (Area 2, AA, UCLA, UPenn)


Summer '18

  • (5) MATH 10: Linear Algebra

  • TA for one of your past math professors (Letter of rec).

  • Apply for CCCP at UCLA.

  • Set reminders to apply to all universities on the mind map list for early consideration. They have different windows.


Fall '18

  • (3) CIS 014: C++ Programming

  • (3) SOC 29: Sociology of the African American (Area 4, GE: Social Analysis (Social Organizations of Black Communities (Check UCLA to PCC African American Studies Major on Assist)))

  • (5) MATH 055: Differential Equations

  • Apply for TAG for UC Irvine

  • Apply to all universities on the mind map list for early consideration.

  • Search for internships for next summer. This is a year earlier than most people do internships, but next summer will be empty, so you might as well.


Winter '19

  • (4) MATH 022: Discrete Mathematics

Spring '19

  • (3) PHIL 025: Introduction to Critical Thinking (Area 1B, UCLA)

  • (5) PHYS 001A: General Physics (Area 5A, and UCLA applied math, GE: Physical Sciences. Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Mechanics. Check UCLA to PCC Physics Department)

Transfer application:

Story: A return to school where early grades are not indicative of strong academic performance. matured. More disciplined. Note that you'd be the first in family to attend university.

  • Adversity: Employment while attending school. Family responsibilities.
  • Deserving: Demonstrated leadership skills through involvement in their current college community: clubs, sports.
  • note that you searched for an advanced Econ statistics course with calculus as a prerequisite, and an intermediate microeconomics course, but found none at the community college level. Instead, you read the course materials on your own, and watched publicly available lectures on the topics from top sources. I also acquired an AA in Business which includes two "Mathematical Analysis for Business" courses using calculus and a "Statistics for Business Economics" course. I hope that this speaks to my willingness to succeed at the upper devision level.
