DIY post bacc options in Los Angeles/Inland Empire area?

[divinehyper]

Hello, long time lurker here! I am graduating from UCLA in a few weeks with a pretty sad sGPA (3.0), and I want to do a DIY post bacc to help boost my gpa! Does anybody have any experience doing a DIY post-bacc in the Los Angeles or Inland Empire area in California? I was looking at UCLA extension's course catalog and they barely have any science/math undergrad upper division courses available. What universities should I be looking at? Would taking classes at community colleges be looked down upon?

Thank you so much for the help!!

You're trying to prove that you can handle and do well with a tough course load. Going to a CC wouldn't do this and most CCs won't have a large selection of upper division sciences.

Its going to be like that for all of the UCs. You're attempting to enroll as a non-degree seeking or "limited" student. No UC is taking limited applicants for this year.

You can try USC but I'd advise against this as they charge $1800 per unit. A 30 unit PB will run you ~$54k.

CSU-LA is your best bet through their open university program. They charge a reasonable $320 per unit, so ~10k for a 30 unit PB.
