2011 UCLA Transfers: The Central Thread for Discussion and Decisions

<p>^ Since when was Calculus 3 required for econ majors? I thought UCLA only required up to Calculus 2…</p>

<p>hi can somebody chance me? I am applying to ucla as a business economics major. I have 3.83 overall gpa. but i have a 4.0 in the prereqs (I have already completed ALL of them prior to this semester) I did not do tap though, so im guessing that automatically makes my chances very slim. I have already completed 71 uc transferable units, completed igetc, and I am a Phi Kappa Theta memeber. My only B’s were in easy courses such as humanities…</p>

<p>It is only required for the mathematics/economics major. Although, according to our transfer rep at Sacramento City College, it is a highly recommended course (along with other lower division offerings such as linear algebra and differential equations) if you want to be competitive. That’s not really surprising either; requiring prospective transfers to complete math courses through calculus II is a pretty big hint, IMO, that UCLA wants you to have strong math skills. Furthermore, economics has basically transformed itself into a specialty field of applied mathematics over the last few decades.</p>

<p>@taylorm0192, i am a student at city college as well applying to ucla for psychology. What is your major?</p>

<p>One more week to go OMG!!!</p>

<p>smcguy- one more week? I thought it was two more weeks till ucla decisions?</p>

<p>^^^^^ according to my counselor.</p>

<p>@Pinoiako916 I keep hearing 4/20.</p>

<p>The general consensus is that it is between April 21st and 23rd going from past releases. So it’s around 8 to 10 days!</p>

<p>I live in norcal so rumors on when UCLA will release decisions may. Be different</p>

<p>according to the “ask Ms. Sun” blog, transfer decisions are most likely going to be released april 20th (the 3rd wednesday in april, becuz they were released the 3rd wednesday in april last year, which was april 21). But i guess no one knows for sure yet.</p>

<p>I’m applying to UCLA as a applied math major…one more week! :smiley: I’m dying to get out of here!</p>

<p>On what days and hours do you have class? Taylorm0192?</p>

<p>^^ do you both go to LA city college? i go there as well.</p>

<p>Seven: my sister was accepted as an Econ major with only calc 2 done. she had to take calc 3 after she transfered, but she didnt need it to transfer.</p>

<p>lizfromhollywood- sacramento city college in sacramento,ca</p>

<p>I’m hoping I get in, the more I research and read about UCLA the more and more I like it. good luck everyone :)</p>

<p>I can’t take this anymore, I’m gonna have a stiff drink and try to go to sleep</p>

<p>doesnt UCLA and Berkeley have the same acceptance rate for transfer students?</p>

<p>^ @Pinoiako916 it’s pretty close</p>
