Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hello everyone! My name is Jerry and I live near San Francisco, California. I currently go to a community college, and I have a 3.1 GPA, with what I have been counting 4 W's. I am in my commununity college's MESA program (a program known as "Mathematics Engineering and Science Association). I have been studying very hard now ever since I graduated high school, and now I am halfway to my goal.</p>

<p>I honestly would like to hear my chances. I am 20 years old, Filipino American, and I love rock music. I have worked very hard to earn a 3.1 GPA and I wish to major in Biochemistry and UC San Diego, UC Irvine, or UCLA. I have been looking through this site and I have been wondering of my chances of being accepted (Which I know my chances are close to "medium"). I honestly do not want to transfer to a California State University in Northern California, like San Jose State or San Francisco State, for "personal" reasons, namely I want to learn how to take care of myself without being so needy to my parents.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone. By the way, I am taking Chemistry 1A, the Biology classes, and Pre-Calculus this semester - so my "real" classes are beginning now this year of 2009. And I feel so accomplished. I want to be wished luck in my future. I want to become something I have never thought I could become. I know my chances, I just want to hear from the point of view of others of my chances.</p>

<p>Your best bet is going to most likely be UC Irvine, and maybe UCSD.</p>

<p>UCLA is, unfortunately, a long shot. The average transfer accepted student this past year had a GPA of 3.68. Biochem is also impacted at UCLA. </p>

<p>Here is where I got my info from.

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Yes! =] I just wanted some kind of assurance. I know my chances at UCLA are really slim, afterall it is the UC Berkeley of that area. I just wanted to know a few things over the UCs down there so I can at least know where I’m at. =] Does anybody else have any advice/suggestions for me It would totally help me.</p>

<p>I think most likely ivine, cuz one of my friend with 3.4 gpa got rescinded from UCSD with biochem major…</p>

<p>good luck</p>
