Community college question: PLEASE READ!!!!!?

I'm a junior and i really want to take some community college courses to higher my gpa (my highschool doesn't offer AP or honors), to look good for college applications, and to prepare for the SAT sub test. I want to take a chem class, a freshman english class and a pre-cal class but EVERYONE is saying im crazy and its waayyyy to much and i'll fail on all of them... however i want to take ALL of them and this summer is the last chance i got (colleges dont calculate senior year in gpa).... i really need all 3 of those for my gpa (which is currently a 3.8 n.w.)! if i took all 3 of those i would be going to the community college at 8 am and would be back at 6pm (not counting the studying and homework time)...do you think this is to much? I really want to go to UCLA and they demand A LOT!!! please help me out and give me your advice! can i handle it? can i even handle 2 classes? are community college courses hard? how much time do you study after the lectures?

please reply- thank you!!

Go for it! But you will need help from your folks, and have to cut back in other areas to have the time you need. Call your community college. Good Luck.

a 3.8 is pretty decent for ucla, and you shouldn't overload yourself with all the work, when it might not make that much of a difference. I would use the summer to focus on weaker areas you may have. Possibly community service among other things. UCLA will know that honors courses are not offered at your school, so they won't hold your gpa against you because it will be seen as unweighted. In many cases I have heard that community college courses are harder than university courses. Go ahead and take a course or two if you think you can handle it, but don't get too stressed, for you will end up realizing that the credit won't count as much as you would like. If you have a 3.8 out of a 4.0 scale and get a decent sat score UCLA won't be devastatingly hard to get into. It is a little less competitive than the other prestigious schools in California, like Stanford. And although there is a lower percentage acceptance rate, you must take into consideration the size of the campus and the amount of people as well. You are in a favorable position, so my best advice would be not to overload yourself and focused on being well rounded, or even better take up an interesting hobby that will set you apart from all the others applying, because almost everyone else is going to have good grades too.
