<p>Does anyone know my chances of transfering to UCLA with this...</p>
<p>Current GPA: 3.4 with TAP (honors program)
Major: Political Science
50 hours of community service
Excellent Essay</p>
<p>Ive heard you need at least a 3.6 cumulative GPA to even be acknowledge, but is it possible that the honors program will subsitute for my low GPA. Let me know, thanks.</p>
<p>what college are you in now?</p>
<p>a community college</p>
<p>are you in state? that makes all the difference.</p>
<p>yup, im in california.</p>
<p>You need to check with the guidance couselor at your CC. He can give you a much better idea of where students have successfully transferred.</p>
<p>Need a higher GPA.</p>
<p>even with a TAP agreement? and that 58% of all poli sci apllicants got accepted in 2007 and that the average GPA of acceptance was 3.5? I hope your wrong, but we'll see.</p>
<p>just apply, whats the worst that can happen?...you don't get in, but u have a decent shot though your chances would increase greatly if u raise ur gpa, did u just finish ure first year in college?</p>
<p>suggest you look at this thread on the UC transfers forum</p>

<p>UCLA: in-state CCC with TAP: Safety</p>
<p>first year of college has been completed. thanks everyone for your input. Hopefully this next year I can raise my GPA to a 3.6. How will UCLA know im completing TAP if it wont be completed until next spring and I apply in the fall?</p>
<p>You'll have to verify all that with your school.</p>
<p>A 3.4 gpa for a political science major is not very competitive. You need more extracurriculars; 50 hours of community service is not enough.</p>
