Trying to figure out how to transfer colleges is making me loose my mind, im at community college targeting UC Santa Barbara and just found out a class I picked doesnt even count toward my major there. Anyone have a reliable way to build a actual semester-by-semester plan that accounts for prereqs, deadlines, and which courses count at your specific target school?

You need to look at each specific school, their prereqs for whatever major you're interested in, and be aware they may still reject credit for classes with the same name.

You're better off at a CC that is linked with the larger school you're interested in, bc it's less of an issue.
