<p>Very good upward trend. If you remove my first year grades (currently in 3rd year, I’d have a 3.8). I’ve also held 4.0’s in the last 3 semesters (Fall 2011, Summer 2011, and Spring 2010).</p>
<p>Personal Statements: Didn’t really put much time into them…</p>
<p>Work Experience: Worked as an accounting assistant for a few months, then worked for a health care software company for about another 4 months.</p>
<p>@Dark91: I really think you have a chance at UCSD and UCSB. You tagged at SB so id say you’re good. And your major isn’t impacted at UCSD so I’d say you have a great shot. I don’t know about UCI…but if it’s impacted there…then I’d say you have a 50/50 chance. </p>
<p>I saw a ton of people get in without tag at UCSD last year without 3.3+. Anyone have any other input? Thanks.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I didn’t know UCI’s business admin major was impacted… but some of my friends got into UCI with lower GPAs for business admin. Where are you getting 3.8 for UCI?</p>
<p>No problem. Well when majors are impacted (which your major isn’t for UCI) and you’re applying without tag, usually a 3.8+ is the GPA they expect to admit you. Your major isn’t impacted. So I’d honestly think you’re at a good shot.</p>
<p>^@ business admin is SUPER impacted at UCI, nearly, neck to neck with UCB. Also, Mana Science at UCSD nearly impacted behind econ. 3.3 is not possible to get in.</p>
<p>all of my words are confirmed, if you want evidence, I will provide them.</p>
<p>Oh my bad. I thought it wasn’t. On the UCSD page it says like all the biological science majors are impacted along with engineering. But I could see why business would be impacted. Same with UCI. Meh we still have to wait another 3 months :)</p>
<p>Applying to UCB, UCSD as econ
UCLA as business econ & econ
UCI as business administration</p>
<p>Current School: CCC
GPA: 4.0
IGETC: only one English course left
Pre-reqs: only an accounting course for UCLA left</p>
<p>ECs: counselor for an IT firm as a system administrator, stock trading(doing a lot of TAs and FAs). current in charge of an Alexa ranking 8k website.
and 3 years big IT firm full-time working exp as a unix SA</p>
<p>@ucbecon999: I think you have an excellent chance at every school you applied to…oh and your EC’s are amazing too, which is a plus. The missing prereq for UCLA may hurt you a bit, but considering your EC’s are so strong I don’t think it’ll be much. Congrats and good luck!</p>
<p>Haha thanks just saw your message now. Here you go! :)</p>
<p>Major: Mechanical Engineering
GPA: 3.78
Schools Applied: UCLA, UCB, Cal Poly SLO, Cal Poly Pomona, USC, UCSD
Major: Pre-reqs done.
EC’s: Robotics Club, Society of Physics Students, Engineering Club, MECHA, PTK, AGS, I also volunteer work at my local family shelter (tutoring, reading to children, mentoring) - 150+ hrs.
Work: I work as a lab technician doing mechanical testing and analysis, chemistry analysis, and other tests/I also work with engineers and run tests for them (I work 25-30hrs./week).</p>
<p>@Jibarra
UCLA is a chance
UCB Small chance.
calpoly x2 probably in.
USC = Depend on how many Ws do you have and how many repreated courses including Ds, Fs do you have.
UCSD in.</p>
<p>Btw, How bad is it if I have 4 major prereqs left for Haas for Spring? Business, Econ 2, English 2, and Calc 1 (finished calc 2). If it wasnt for my late decision to apply to Haas I would have had these done.</p>
<p>@jibarra, 3.78 is very good for ME at both Cal and UCLA, and considered your EC is pretty good too, u have a good shot for all the school u applied. </p>
<p>and for USC … that a money burning school, but relatively lower GPA requirment that Cal and LA…</p>
<p>Does anyone know if it hurts your chances if you only have the minimum 60 required semester units?</p>
<p>I was looking at the average units applied on the UCLA website and it seems like everyone applies with AT LEAST 70. I have a really good GPA, but I’ll only have 60 units after this semester</p>
haha, but can someone chance me! 
Thanks!</p>
