Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
2 UCLA requirements have no Ohlone match
Ohlone lists no course for ECON 11 and ECON 41. Check UCLA's Economics page for whether they have to be done before you transfer, and plan where you'll cover them.
Start with MATH 100 and BA 102A
MATH 100 and BA 102A sit at the start of their sequences for this route, so they fit your first semester, next to ENGL C1000 for English composition.
What UCLA looks for
Micro, macro and a year of calculus must all be complete by the spring before transfer. UCLA strongly recommends finishing them by fall.
