A few questions

<p>Wants to x fer to : UCLA , UCB UCSD in 09/010 Biz econ/econ/bizadmin they all abide by almost the same curriculum. MY ccc does not have TAP but has an honor's program. MAINLY UCLA</p>

<p>question 1 : In regards to GPA. UC's look at over all GPA more so than your pre req's gpa for weighted major's For example I'll have a 3.73 for my weighted and all the other classes I'm taking I'll have 3.5 because I got a C in Spanish (God I hate Spanish, But I live in California and its a second language here now, 10 years from now a first language LOL)</p>

<p>question 2: Do UC's tend to like to recruit different economic brackets for their candidate pool? My family is in the lowest socioeconomic bracket, I mean the lowest income and I'm under 25.</p>

<p>question 3: I'm 21 I've been working consistently for 3 years can that be considered as a EC?</p>

<p>these questions are only relative to me because I know by time I'm done I won't make the median for UCLA's Bizecon Gpa which is around 3.8 and probably a little higher next year, Also my school doesn't offer shoe in programs like TAP</p>

<ol>
<li><p>they look at major gpa over overall gpa, but thats not to discredit the importance of your overall gpa</p></li>
<li><p>no, but it could make for a compelling essay</p></li>
<li><p>work is an EC, and they students who work and go to school (responsibility, time management, etc)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Work is not an EC, but work experience; but, in your case it could be 'worth' more than an EC in the larger scheme of things.</p>

<p>Even if your CCC has an honor's program, if it's not in this list: UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Transfer Alliance Program Then I don't believe you will get the same priority as a TAP-certified applicant</p>

<p>I think this thread will really help.

<p>I won't go through all the posts for you but I can assure you I passed by at least two BizzEcon decisions of last year from UCLA. The results speak for themselves</p>

<p>Work helps, but it doesn't help that much in my opinion.
I heard the UCLA selection process is very unpredictable, so don't count on something random like socioeconomic status to get you over the hump either.</p>
