2011 UCLA Transfers: The Central Thread for Discussion and Decisions

<p>Major: Psychology
Applied to: UCLA, UCI, UCR, UCD
Accepted to so far: UCR
GPA: 3.67 (Major: 4.0)
IGETC Certified
Prerequisites: Completed all</p>

<p>I am anxious waiting for the acceptance letters! I mainly tried to get accepted into my primary list of school - UCLA.</p>

<p>Let me know when you guys get your letters! Wish you all good luck!</p>

<p>^ Did you have TAP?</p>

<p>@leehana10, you are in the other three. Right now, UCLA is a reach to low reach for you because you are a borderline candidate for psychology. Do you have TAP? If so, that can boost your chances for psychology. Keep in mind that the average GPA for fall 10’ psych transfers is a 3.78. </p>

<p>How are your grade trends, your personal statement, and your EC’s/volunteer work?
Those three factors can make or break your chances for UCLA.</p>

Okay, it’s more like my parents wouldn’t let me. </p>

<p>(I guess that makes me more of a weaksauce) :(((</p>

<p>how much do your chances increase when your GPA is significantly above the average for your major (of those who got in last year as transfers in your major) and you applied to a NON-impacted major?</p>

<p>Does anyone know what day of the week decisions came out last year?</p>

<p>@smcguy dude!!! I think you, grimes99 and I are the only people who waited another year to go through the uc system. Lol this year will be the year. What schools have you heard back already? I’ve only heard back from ucsd :)</p>

<p>Anyways, I’m here with the rest anxiously waiting for ucla to post their decisions. Ahh… 16 days people!!! </p>

<p>Here’s my stats:
Major: European Studies (but I really wanted comm studies but never gonna happen so I’m going to do it as a minor)
GPA: 3.12-3.15 (I know its low but maybe especially since my major is non-impacted)
TAP: Yes!
IGETC: completed!</p>

<p>@ itzcaroll:</p>

<p>add me to that list too. UCSD was the only school I got into last year, but it wasn’t the right fit and so I’m here again… fingers crossed for UCLA this time but if not I should get into Davis which I quite liked.</p>

<p>Academic update question…</p>

<p>I initially submitted my academic update which included my Fall 2010 grades in mid January probably around Jan 15th.</p>

<p>My issue/question: I logged back in on Feb 1st to print my app and double check grades were updated correctly. As I was flipping through the screens I had to re-enter my information (everything was blank) I hit the submit button. My application now says that my update was on Feb 1st 2011.
-The priority deadline was Jan 31st. I updated on Jan 15th, then again on Feb 1st. Will my uc application not have the info from my initial update? Is this even a big deal? I’m worried that the Feb 1st update will negatively affect my application.</p>

<p>I really appreciate UCLA putting up profiles of admitted transfers. It’s extremely helpful in terms of “chances” and what not.

<p>I wonder if Cal would ever do that… (I’m guessing, no)</p>

<p>Hey guys, I know this thread is centered primarily on the acedmics of UCLA and getting in. However, I was wondering, how do you all feel personally about getting into and going to UCLA? I got into Cal Poly SLO and my mom is pressuring me to attend that school because it’s less than a 45 minute drive away. If I get into UCLA, I have no idea what I’ll even do, although I can’t help but to admit that it’s my DREAM school. I’ve even talked to both schools and attempting my double major seems so much easier at UCLA because I have so many pre-reqs. done for both majors and at Cal Poly I’m looking at 3 years. I’ll also have to leave my boyfriend of over 3 years (who is going to Cal Poly SLO) and even before decisions come out I’m stressing out SO much! Ah, sorry to sound so self centered, but is anyone else worried about the stress that comes with choosing if you get into UCLA???</p>

<p>^there are A LOT of things that seem to pull you towards attending Cal Poly SLO. Academically, though, UCLA is YOUR top choice and the chips appear to fall in your favor in terms of majors. How much would you <em>regret</em> NOT going to UCLA when you look back at your life, B.A. degree(s) in hand? If you can be happy with the decision you make, either way, that’s the most important thing, IMO…</p>

<p>Making your dream a reality is important when you only have one life to live.</p>

<p>I got into Slo too. I had to immediately disregard the acceptance however, because my parents want me to go the UC route. But i know what its like being pressured by your parents :confused: In the end, if you and your bf have a strong relationship, it should be able to withstand the stress of you moving a few hours away. Also, UCLA is facking UCLA. If you get in, you should by all means go. Plus if you think it’ll take you 3 years to get out of Slo won’t that be way more expensive than two years at LA? Ultimately though, I’m guna have to agree with ideal2545 :D</p>

<p>itzcarol, isn’t the minimum gpa for ucla transfer students a 3.2? Correct me if I am wrong!</p>

<p>Hey guys…</p>

<p>First time post from a long time reader. I don’t have much to add to the conversation, except to say that I am sick to death of waiting to find out if I got into the Global Studies Program at UCLA!!! I can’t believe I have been waiting since November! ARGHHHHHHHHHHH…</p>

<p>Must remain calm…focus on happy thoughts…</p>

<p>Whatever you do UCLAGlobal, don’t look at the clock and calendar everyday for the next 20 days.</p>
