3.8 GPA Transfer UCSD Impacted Major - Chance?

<p>Applying to UCSD Bioengineering. Which is impacted, if I'm not mistaken.</p>

<p>Major: UCSD Bioengineering, intended pre-pharm
From: Grossmont Community
Overall GPA: 3.8
- received two B's, one in microeconomics and one in general chemistry, both freshman year.
-everything else, A's</p>

<p>Extra Curric: Volunteer at UCSD Hospital in the Pharmacy, Certified Pharmacy Technician and working (not at the same place where i vol.), Part of Honors Club (Phi Theta Kappa) and Medical Club</p>

<p>Extra Notes:
-carried an average 13 credit per semester workload
-finished general chem, calc 1-3, working on multi vari, and finished physics
-have letter of rec from chem professor</p>

<p>If you need anymore info, just ask away! Thanks again. Truly appreciate it.</p>

<p>How many units do you have(transferable)?
Did you go up to MicroBiology?</p>

<p>microbiology isnt offered at my cc.
im transferring with 67 credits.</p>

<p>you should be fine. The average GPA is 3.45 in UCSD for Bioengineering.</p>

<p>Just a little interested in how you can do it in 67 units. I’m doing it in 80+ units</p>

<p>Did you finish IGETC? along with the Pre-reqs?</p>

<p>IGETC is a requirement btw. at least for SD</p>

<p>phew, thanks.
well, i have a lot ap credit from high school. </p>

<p>i finished pre reqs, and im pretty sure i meet igetc.
but if im not mistaken, isn’t igetc just for the guaranteed admission? what im doing is applying straight to ucsd.</p>

<p>not really…there’s a box where you have to “check” for completion for igetc.</p>

<p>Now…for a suggestion. If you’re intended to do Pharmacy…I strongly recommend Chemistry:Pre-Pharmacy. It saves time and energy. And doesn’t have to take many calculus and Physic classes. But for Engineering career…this is good.</p>

<p>yes, there is a completion box for igetc. you have to meet the classes taken, etc. but that’s for that specific program to “transfer”. i am transferring, but not through the means of igetc, im transferring by applying straight into the ucsd program. </p>

<p>and no thanks :slight_smile: i like my intended major, and i have my reasons. one - i think all the calc and physics are VERY fundamental for any med, engineering major. two - between grad and undergrad i would like to have that bioengineering degree for jobs.</p>
