I am currently attending a community college and I have completed 28 units and am taking 6 units right now in the summer. I plan on applying to the UC's but my primary choices are UCLA and Berkeley.
Since I plan on being a theoretical physicist and getting a ph.d to study string theory perhaps, I was wondering whether it would be worth it to double major in both math and physics. I heard the double major would be really helpful for my future but what I'm concerned about is how that would work currently in the community college.
Since I have to complete the IGETC before I transfer (unless I stayed for 3 years which I don't want to since I hate my community college), it would be impossible for me to finish my remaining physics required classes and classes for the math major as well since not all the math major requirements overlap with the physics requirements. So I was wondering whether I even still have a chance at completing the double major, and if i do, do I have to start working on it as soon as possible or wait until after the transfer?
