<p>whatever.</p>
<p>we are well aware from 7/8th grade or at least high school that a 4.0 is the most supreme.</p>
<p>go look at college confidentials definition on urban dictionary.</p>

<p>lets be real here, to run a gym you don’t need to be accepted to HAAS. Why send yourself through that rigorous major just to own a gym?</p>
<p>somethings funny here.</p>
<p>^
</p>
<p>Your negative comments just show your ignorance. There is an ABUNDANT of candidates with 4.0’s who get rejected from HAAS/top business programs every year. This is a CHANCE forum… meaning people who have ANY GPA can post. There is no need to criticize them. What is wrong with going to HAAS and opening a gym? In fact HAAS will allow him to establish a variety of connections which will propel him to create sufficient funding to open up his gym in turn of the possibility of branching out his gym across the nation. He loves bodybuilding and is chasing after his desires… there is nothing wrong with that. You state: “lets be real here, to run a gym you don’t need to be accepted to HAAS. Why send yourself through that rigorous major just to own a gym?” but fail to realize that HAAS not only creates connections financially but will allow him to have a backup plan n case his passion changes. Get your head out of the gutter as HAAS is not easy to get into.</p>
<p>CHANCE ME Y’ALL!!!</p>
<p>Major: Political Science (Changing to International Relations or English)</p>
<p>GPA at time of applying: 3.67 UC/3.46 Overall</p>
<p>Schools: UCB, UCLA, UCD, UCSB, UCSD, UCSC</p>
<p>IGETC: Will be done by Spring 2012 (I need to take a physical science and a math course)</p>
<p>Pre-Reqs: UCB/UCSD/UCSC-Completed, missing 1 prereq for UCD, missing 1 prereq for UCLA, and missing 2 prereqs for UCSB.</p>
<p>Originally I could only TAG to Davis and Santa Cruz because I’m taking my math course the semester before transfer, but because I was a part-time student last spring, I can’t TAG to UCD anymore so I’m TAGing to UCSC with little intention of attending.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>the parts shown is just about the only relevant material in your response.</p>
<p>Channel your energy into chancing us! :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You have a high chance to be admitted to CAL… I’d say about 85%. Make sure to keep your personal statement focused on two extracurricular achievements you have accomplished (such as being in the State senators office and from there how you were Co-President of PTK). Don’t re-iterate your resume on your personal statement but show CAL how these (one or two) extra curricula’s are directly related to your overall passion… Whatever it may be (most likely a lawyer?) and how you grew as a person. On your resume make sure to tie in how the hospital work relates to your major/who you want to be as well. As long as everything is relevant and your personal statement is good… I don’t see a problem.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Chances:</p>
<p>CAL: 45% (depending on EC’s)
UCD: 80%
UCLA: 10% (missing 1 pre-req is HUGE for UCLA)
UCSD: 80%</p>
<p>I agree with Transfer2Best. UCKitty - you need to chill man. No is dying for your particular input and if you feel as if there isn’t really any point in posting with a 4.0 GPA, then keep it to yourself. But don’t discourage others from offering their (potentially valuable) feedback - if they truly are wasting their time, it’s THEIR time, not yours - so lay off dude.</p>
<p>@twptyu: I need more information, which classes caused your gpa to lower? If its major requirement classes, then its bad.</p>
<p>@Hayward1991: need ECs</p>
<p>@calibabe: i would say in at cal, keep you gpa high and find a support system to proof your statements good luck.</p>
<p>@Transfer2Best: thanks. honestly, a year ago… i wouldn’t really ask for a chance. its just because of the breadth requirement change, haas is super tough to get into.</p>
<p>smh circus.</p>
<p>Only ECs is working/volunteering at a retirement home. Still wanna chance me for the other UCs?</p>
<p>@Hayward1991: I know its kind of last minute but I would try my hardest to work in some political campaign. Last year, it was relatively easy to get opportunities and I did end up interning for two campaigns. You can set up a register to vote booth at your community college or perhaps go phonebank somewhere. After that, I would go to the city government and look for interning or volunteering opportunities there. I would start right now, don’t start weeks before applying.</p>
<p>and Transfer2Best chances is accurate except UCB… it will only be half/half if you bring up your ECs.</p>
<p>School: ucla, ucb, ucsd (tag), ucd,
Major: mathematics
Overall: 3.8
transferable: 4.0
Igetc finished after 2011 fall
EC: work (24 hours a week), math club president, participated in math competition, work at math lab at school, volunteer for my old high school teaching math. </p>
<p>Also, I know this isn’t an advise topic, but is it a good idea to talk about my parents divorce and how it made me mature in my personal statement? Would that make me stand out? Or would that work against me? Anyhow everyone good luck and thanks for chancing.</p>
<p>Oh sorry for double posting im going to a ccc right now</p>
<p>Depends on how you spin it and the details of the divorce that made you more mature. The subject is far from taboo in this day and age because it’s incredibly common. So what about your’s was any different than the thousands of other kids that also went through the same thing? That’s just how I see it.</p>
<p>@Transfer2Best word</p>
<p>@tyetin… that’s true I never thought of it that way. I just checked the stats and there are more parents that divorced than parents that stayed together. Hmm what to do what to do…wait so what are my chances?</p>
<p>@bodybuilder</p>
<p>thank you for replying to my message.</p>
<p>i got C on history and pre-calcu math which are not pre-req class.
i got an As on every require class.</p>
<p>Schools:UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI
major: psychology
GPA: 3.68
Ec: work 25 hrs a week as a secretary and am a ‘big sister’*</p>
<p>I don’t know if this matters but I am a first generation student, from south central Los angeles, Hispanic, and was a horrible student in high school and graduated from an alternative high school.*</p>
<p>Also I hope to eventually get a phd to become a college professor.*</p>
<p>one more question, I was planning on finishing my last pre req spring is that going to screw up my chances completely?*</p>
<p>Thanks so much in advanced, and good luck to everyone.*</p>
<p>@shallot Honestly I have no clue. I’m here for the same reason. You didn’t mention your pre-reqs. From what I understand those will make or break your chances of getting in.</p>
<p>The hard sciences (Math, Physic, Chem, Bio, etc), I assume, have a higher GPA average among the applicants. If you have your pre-reqs done and I had to make a guess I would say you are fine on all levels. Strong GPA, ECs that are major related, and work experience. From what I’ve read UCB and UCLA put a huge emphasis on GPA, Pre-Reqs(UCLA particularly), and working during college(UCB at least).</p>
