Strengths: Have a lot of ECs and awards, second time applying to UC, more experienced. IGETCS and major pre-reqs all done before Fall 2020.

Weaknesses:

I think my gpa for my major is too low, (for econ gpa range is 3.83-4.0) it is tooooo competitive. Since I am a one-year transfer most of my transfer Units come from the APs I took in HS (about 32 units), and due to the short time period I have until transfer, I really don’t have time to take many classes to build up my GPA. In fact, I only have one B on my transcript but the total classes I took are not enough to sort of average it out ughhhh.

I didn’t get TAP certified because I literally don’t have enough time to complete the honor’s program.

Also due to the pandemic, I don’t really have any cc college experience to talk about…

I head that we have double the amount of transfer applicants this year compared to last year so… fingers crossed

Schools Applied: UCLA,UCB,UCSD,UCI(TAG&accepted)

BEST OF LUCK for all of you one-year transfers!!! Last year was really a mess and we tried our best to survive, now we are almost there, we deserve what we put in! No matter what the outcome is, I am so proud of ALL OF YOU!!
