Transfering from community college to a four year?
1. Okay I started a community college called grossmont college in 2011 and I have been in it till today 2013.
2. I want to transfer to ucsd or ucla and I keep seeing that the minimum credits is 60 and if I go by those rules I would be done by summer 2014 and start UC fall 2014.
3. I went to my counselor and he keeps saying I have to finish my lower division major biochem at the community college and that would make me finish 2015 spring and at UC 2015 fall.
4. I asked a lot of people about doing my major courses in a community college and my sister told me that sometimes community colleges like to tell you to take the courses for your major at there school for the money and later when you transfer the four year university says theses courses are not going to go to your major it prepared you well but they are no good my sisters experience
5. One more thing if I finish the community college with only my general ed what would that make me at a four year college a junior, freashmen? And if I did both my major and general ed what would that make me senior?
It would be great if you guys answered my questions in numbers as I wrote down.
Thank you all in advance and please people with experience would be a bonus. I do not need cheer up advice I need something that is really gonna help me.

Biochem is "selective" (more students apply than there is space for them) at most UCs so having major prereqs completed will make you more competitive for admission consideration (and not having them completed may put you at a disadvantage for admission consideration, especially at top-tier UCs like Berkeley and UCLA).
You are applying as a junior transfer whether you only complete your GE or GE + major prereqs. You will receive credit at the UC for the courses you completed at community college (capped at 70 semester/105 quarter maximum toward graduation; subject credit for ALL courses completed).
Source(s): I am a UC admissions expert who has been guiding students to the top UCs since 2006. I received my BA from Berkeley and I was in a PhD program at UCLA. Aside from advising students, I volunteer with Berkeley and UCLA on admissions outreach (I attend college fairs to promote the schools). I also volunteer at events sponsored by the Southern California alumni groups from both campuses, including alumni scholarship interviews. You may contact me for help on planning your academic curriculum, choosing extracurricular activities, completing your UC application, writing your personal statement, or applying for scholarships.
