Evaluation

1. Do UC evaluators look more favorably on a student who takes physics as one of the recommended three years of laboratory science? Does it matter what the third science course is?
2. When evaluating transfer applicants, does UC consider nontransferable courses? One of our student's transcripts is strong overall, though he has two grades of C in nontransferable remedial math courses taken during his first year. How will these courses affect his application, if at all?

No field of science is rated higher than another, so it does not matter what the third science course is.

While the University requires that transfer students report all coursework, only transferable courses are used to calculate the GPA. Admissions evaluations focus on grades in college-level courses. Though campuses may look at remedial work, performance in transferable courses is much more important.
