2012 Transfer Chance Me! Thread

<p>Applying to UCSD, UCD and UCB
GPA - 3.89
Tag to UCSD
Major - Electrical Engineering (not impacted at any of the schools)
I have enough ec’s and have a good personal statement.</p>

<p>Im concerned because I’ll be short a physics course and differential equations course from the major prep.
ucsd and ucd require the physics course but ucb doesn’t.
Idk if this will also affect my tag to ucsd.</p>

<p>Any advice would be well appreciated.</p>

<p>That’s for Grad students only?</p>

<p>yeah iwill, thats for grad students.</p>

<p>Hi, I am applying to all of the UCs,
Community College Student; wants to transfer as a Chemistry Major:
-TAP/Honors Program Certified
-Calculus 1, 2, and 3 completed
-General Chemistry 1 and 2 completed
-IGETC Completed
-Community Servce, Campus Involvement, Jobs, etc
-current GPA 3.82</p>

<p>Thanks, will chance back</p>

<p>^ yeah sure, they will just go ask you to retake classes to strengthen your grades in those classes, oh wait you have a 3.8</p>

<p>-_____-</p>

<p>what do you really have to worry about? surely this can’t be life.</p>

<p>@ collegebrother: What about physics and Ochem? If you dont have those, LA and Berkeley are out</p>

<p>@ blackmamba: Yeah thats exactly what im worried about. I am currently taking the first calculus-based physics for science majors and will probraly end up getting a C in the class. I was wondering if I should drop the physics class this fall, and take it in spring for a better grade, OR don’t drop it and complete it with a C and take the next physics in the series</p>

<p>Isn’t it a little too late to drop?</p>

<p>Depends on the school</p>

<p>^ The last day to drop for the community college i go to is in 2 days. So i have to make decision by then</p>

<p>hey guys, i have a question. If my tag got accepted, can i just submit my personal statement with out proof reading? Is there a chance to get reject?</p>

<p>Again, UCLA AND UCB only read personal statements. Nobody else cares. And be specific about what school you’re talking about.</p>

<p>^ uci, ucr, ucsb</p>

<p>Hi everyone! I hoped someone could chance me. :slight_smile:
I am applying to:
SDSU (all prereqs completed) CalPolySLO(missing a prereq) UCLA (") UCSC (") UCB (all prereqs completed)
Gpa: 3.61 (may be 3.64 by end of fall semester)
Major:Psychology</p>

<p>ECs: Student group which provides social support and academic resources to immigrant/ underprivileged students (Outreach); " " dedicated to increasing awareness about social justice, the environment and personal well-being(member); Participate in group therapy alongside a clinical psychologist as a mentor to at-risk youth. (I have a lot to say about this very influential experience in the personal statement.)
Work/Other: I work about 25 hrs/week, 30-40 hrs/week summer and winter breaks. I am the first in my family to attend college and have worked to pay/will continue to pay my own tuition. I feel where I come from, unique family circumstances and other struggles make me a diverse applicant.
Concerns: I know Berkeley is a reach and am wondering if I should/could instead apply as a Rhetoric Major and then switch into the Psychology major once I have been admitted. However, if I could write a stellar personal statement, would I have a chance at Berkeley as a Psychology major? </p>

<p>I WISH THE BEST TO EVERYONE DURING THIS STRESSFUL APPLICATION PERIOD AND THE MONTHS OF WAITING THAT WILL COME AFTER.</p>

<p>Hi :slight_smile: if you google UCLA admitted stats majors or something like that, it’ll give you the expected GPA for each and every major. I wish I knew more about psych…</p>

<p>SOMEONE CHANCE^^^^^</p>

<p>I’m afraid I’m going to forget to do something and then be rejected:/ when they want us to update the apps they notify us right?</p>

<p>and when should I order my official transcripts?</p>

<p>and what if my parents haven’t done their 2011 taxes yet? sorry I’m so paranoid & I can’t sleep!</p>

<p>LOL You’re not the only paranoid one. They ask you to update in January. Trust me. Theyll email you. You won’t miss out on a thing. Once you get accepted they ask you for your transcripts (only UCs). Private schools are different. So don’t worry. Go to sleep lmao!</p>

<p>you’re up madd early. :]</p>
