<p>Personal Statement: Pretty good!</p>

<p>P.S.: I went to Cal Poly SLO first quarter of college after graduating high school and withdrew after first quarter because I didn’t like it. (Didn’t have AP so don’t worry about that. I made the choice myself). I believe that only one of the courses that I took that quarter could be transferred to a UC because the rest were major courses that they had AUTOMATICALLY signed me up for in order to get students out after four years. (Damn SLOs policy on choosing a major right in the first year coming in…)</p>

<p>sorry if you felt i was attacking you. I just thought you were mocking my statement that philosophy is “one of the least impacted majors.” I never said it was the least, and obviously a major that only has one to three applicants is not impacted -___-
I was looking for help and all you did was go on that transfer profile and looked for the lowest average gpa. That clearly doesn’t help at all, so I thought you were being sarcastic.</p>

1104

<p>Hey @Bearterritory: You have awesome stats. I would say you’re 95% in at both schools…I bet philosophy at LA and Berk are impacted and usually people with GPAs like 3.78-3.79 get rejected on here. You’re good. Keep that GPA up! :)</p>

1105

<p>thanks! Im kind of worried that I have no pre-reqs done till spring but I read on another post that UCLA’s philosophy major is not impacted at all and people with 3.3s get in all the time.</p>

1106

<p>You’re welcome :slight_smile: OMG YEAH! sorry. I remember seeing that too. Maybe it’s only Berk? Don’t worry. Even if you don’t I’d say you’re in. How many prereqs are you missing for la and Berkeley?</p>

<p>Just saw you have 3/4 prereqs done. You’re good no worries.</p>

1107

<p>berkeley has no pre-reqs in my area. I cross enrolled at 3 CCs in my area and berkeley has none for any of them.</p>

1108

<p>im glad someone knows it’s possible as a transfer to get in without having a 4.0</p>

<p>:) @ bearterritory.</p>

1109

<p>@Looking4Ward No. I was at 3.09 with 65 units. Having classes here and there will create very little change. Since I need to make my GPA more competitive, I took a lot of units in order to make a bigger “little change”.</p>

1110

<p>I went from a 2.9 to a 3.3 by cross enrolling. LIKEABOSS</p>

<p>And I have a ton of C’s…so it took a ton of A’s to get me to a 3.33</p>

1111

<p>@Acoustic Exactly. I am enrolled in two units. And Since a school’s max is 16 units, I was able to acquire 33 at one time, I applied for unit overload in one. I ended up dropping a 6 units because it was too time consuming and too late when I need to usually commute home.</p>

1112

<p>A lotta work huh? Worth it…but it’s totally time consuming and tiring.</p>

1113

<p>I don’t think it’s worth it anymore. I think I’m getting straights B’s and a C. It will actually drop my GPA from 3.09 to 3.04.</p>

1114

<p>:/ I used rate my professor and ended up getting straight A’s. You should make sure you’ll get an A in all the courses by having easy teachers.</p>

1115

<p>Ratemyprofessors ftw!</p>

1116

<p>So i used ratemypro and get straight As. Am i ready for UC? LOL</p>

1117

<p>What are you trying to say?
Go learn proper English. Maybe that will get you ready for a UC.</p>

1118

<p>@^ lol you completely misunderstood my meaning. Let me go learn proper English, and i will come back later to explain haha xD. Forum overpower.</p>

1119

<p>Good boy. </p>

<p>U is readi for a UC</p>

1120

<p>lol Actually I got a really good professor this fall just for an easy A. She took the concepts of econ and explains them in mathematical way with out telling us what does it mean. I ended up getting 98% on both test worth 25% each, but I don’t understand what does it mean LOL. Basically, I just solved the math problems with out knowing what does it apply to the real world. I passed the class with an A with out trying due this reason. So fierce, and I’m not sure if i can handle upper division econ courses.</p>
