2012 Transfer Chance Me! Thread

<p>@Ferrari4XD, did your friend take PHYS, MATH, and CHEM all together during a semester? Reason I ask is because took those all those classes during a semester, usually people split them throughout the year…</p>

<p>3 5Unit classes during one semester… is that impressive? or does everyone do it .? because alot of my friends dropped at least one</p>

<p>I don’t know what he is taking at that time, but he did finish 3/4 of the prereq after fall. Same situation as you, and he got all As for fall. Fall grades pretty much give him the chance go to UCB. It happened 2 years ago. I say it is unclear at this moment, but u have a good shot at it. This is UCB and we are talking about mechanical lol, it’s not like a cake, and always make people nervous. I say keep up the spirit.</p>

<p>Ahem… I’ll just leave this here again…</p>

<p>Schools applied to: LA, Berkeley, Davis, Santa Barbara, Irvine, Santa Cruz.
GPA: 3.7
Major: English.
Pre-reqs: Finished all the ones available to me (English 17 & English 45A; English 45B & 45C are not available).
IGETC: Done by Spring 2012.
TAG: No.
EC’s: Published poetry in my CC’s literary magazine. Other than that, not much to report. I did work as a copywriter for about a year and I’m currently conducting surveillance on the side as a private investigator (which involves typing up reports as well).</p>

<p>Chances for Berkeley? It’s my #1 choice. Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Hey @Itsgoodmetal: You look like you have a fabulous gpa…but it kinda seems a bit low even for Berkeley and LA. Do you by any chance know that stats of last years English major acceptances at LA and Berkeley? I know there’s a website for LA…but no clue on Berkeley. I would say you’re in at all…and a good shot at LA but not Berkeley…depends. I’ll try to find out for you. Best of luck :)</p>

<p>Also, got an -A in Calc 1 and 2 :frowning: I thought it would sound pathetic explaining an -A so I didn’t. Hopefully it was the right decision.</p>

<p>Chance me please :slight_smile: Berkeley is my first choice.</p>

<p>@itsgoodmetal. Real chance u will get in.</p>

<p>Alright guys. If one person on this thread says you have absolutely no chance of getting into UCLA or UCB or even UCSD, don’t get your hopes down. Research yourself…look at old acceptance threads and talk to your school counselors and ask them to chance you :slight_smile: it is heartbreaking to hear that you wont get into your top choice because someone on this thread says so. Do your own research. There’s four months ahead of us and Id hate see you guys bummed…hope I helped.</p>

<p>@Acoustickitty123</p>

<p>Well stated.</p>

<p>no, don’t disregard us saying you won’t get in. were are not here to sugar-coat anything. these are peoples lives. Besides by us saying that you won’t get in, whats the worst that’s gonna happen?</p>

<p>Just because you have a 3.7 doesn’t mean you’re golden, KNOW that a lot of UC admissions are RANDOM PICKS. People get rejected with 3.8’s, then they come back here asking “Why?” OR they go to Yahoo Answers, this i know because on google i see stuff like, “why didn’t i get accepted into berkeley” and people give answers that are nothing critical or precise like the ones we will give here.</p>

<p>I say keep us update with your fall grades guys. example in my case, my gpa was 3.2 before summer. After summer i got 3.4, and after this fall it goes up to 3.7 near 3.8. Things can change quickly so keep us update :).</p>

<p>True that. Just dont get discouraged…or happy…you’ll get in somewhere. Good luck to all of you. Stay safe, stress-free. These months will pass fast :slight_smile: Just focus on your finals and all. Much love</p>

<p>Can u guys chance my official stats? Many things have changed during the past month, and I applied to different schools as well.
gpa 3.7 after fall. If I get a B then 3.6 xD hopefully not.

<p>Lol @ random picks.</p>

<p>Where is this information coming from? Do you have anything to base that upon?</p>

<p>Ridiculous. I’m done with this forum. Best of luck to you guys, but I personally can’t deal with the amount of misinformation and needless negativity that’s thrown around on here. </p>

<p>Good luck on finals & keep fighting the good fight, transfers :)</p>

<p>are you serious, do you really think someone HAND READS every application and that is done from november-february(march for transfers)?</p>

<p>I was not even trying to attack you, the last part of your message was extremely unnecessary. Be done with this forum, you won’t be missed.</p>

<p>Calm down folks…</p>

<p>Can anyone look at mine? :)</p>

<p>@Enjolras: Cool stats dude. Based upon my knowledge, I’ve noticed that UCLA and UCB accepted a lot of those with GPA’s around 3.8+ with majors like yours. Bio majors will get into UCLA with 3.6. I’d say you’re in at both. Your GPA is great. You should read through some acceptance threads from last year. What’s your top choice again?!</p>
