<p>Does anyone know what chance my sister has of getting into UCSD and UCI with a 3.29 with a major of Ethnic Studies? It’s non impacted…What do you guys think? Oh and no tag for UCI</p>

<p>UC Berkeley</p>

<p>I wish you all the best of luck… I transferred last year to UCB… SOOOOO… Can you guys take this survey? If you do I will answer some of your burning questions.</p>

<p>[Home</a> Delivery Pharmacy Survey](<a href=“http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JYNP935]Home”>http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JYNP935)</p>

<p>I took the survey. :slight_smile:
What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>Major: Sociology
GPA: 3.33
Applying to: UCSD, UCI, UCR, UCSB</p>

<p>MY TOP CHOICE is UCSD. My major is nonimpacted. What do you think my chances are? Thanks!!</p>

<p>Hey… Acoustickitty123…yeah I would think you would be in at UCSD and actually, all of the schools you applied too. Make sure to do well this semester… it counts too! Actually, make sure you do well on every single one of your classes until you transfer. K? How were your personal statements? Did you get some people to read it? Did it sound good? If you got a good personal statement, a couple of ec’s… I really think you are golden for your top choice!</p>

<p>with 3.33, i say 2/3 of a chance :slight_smile: for ucsd.
UCR, come on, we are all know UCR will accept everyone. skip this
UCSB come on of course, sociology fit with party school.
UCI? sure This school has a lot of Asian :)</p>

<p>Thanks guys :slight_smile: Appreciate it. Ive asked a lot of people and love to hear everyones opinion. And yeah, this semester I’ll have a 3.33 (I’m 100% sure). Personal statements and ECs only matter if you’re applying to Berkeley and UCLA :slight_smile: How is UCB treating you? Love it? Hate it?</p>

<p>Applying to: UCLA, UCB, UCSD (TAG)
Current school: El Camino College
Transfer Major: Philosophy
GPA: 3.81 (might jump to 3.9ish or drop to 3.75ish due to fall grades)
Pre-Req: All done in Spring
Personal Statement: Decent enough, I suppose
EC: Work for a small company doing technical writing, 100 hrs non-profit volunteering, and some other small hours for other organizations. Not really any awards, just Dean’s List stuff.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>UC BERKELEY rocks. Love it. Come here if you get the opportunity.</p>

<p>Brice: with that GPA, you’re in. Seriously. I don’t know if philo is impacted at Berkeley, but if you can try to get a 3.8+. Good luck</p>

<p>Applying to: UCI, UCR, UCSD, UCSB, UCSD, UCD, UCLA
Major: History
Gpa: 3.08, can reach 3.14
Pre Req: Done with most
Grade Trend: upwards from 2.5 to 3.0+</p>

<p>isn’t we agree to not list UCR? since they will eventually accept everyone.</p>

<p>UCI, maybe yes
UCSD, NO there non impacted major gpa have been increase to around 3.2 ; 3.3
UCSB maybe yes
UCD maybe yes
UCLA, with out thinking, i will say absolutely no :)</p>

<p>It’s hard to predict ur admission since ur gpa is around 3.0 with the exception of UCR…</p>

<p>@Steve: ah your GPA is pretty low honestly. UCR definitely. I’d say yes to Davis and maybe to SB. Apply to UCSC instead of UCLA bc UCLA is a for sure no. Sorry :/</p>

<p>Thanks for the info, i forgot to add ucsc, im going to apply there too.</p>

<p>Good!! Youre in at riverside and UCSC!</p>

<p>Also you guys…just updating you: Dont remember if I have mentioned this before but UC’s are accepting nearly the same amount of students they accepted last year. Surprisingly, I thought budget cuts would cause UCs to accept less students…but I guess not. So this is good news to us all :slight_smile: Hopefully they keep the non impacted major cutoff the same as last year LOL</p>
