Admitted Anthro Majors?

<p>Has anyone been admitted as an anthro major to any UC? Post your gpa, where you got in and where you're still waiting to hear from. Oh, and congrats!</p>

<p>Anthropology majors are notoriously easy to get into. I’ve heard stories of 3.2 GPAs getting into Berkeley and UCLA. You shouldn’t have anything to worry about.</p>

<p>UCSC, 3.95. I’ve also got in Davis, SB, and Riverside so far, but with as a hodgepodge of majors: European studies, history, and classics.</p>

<p>Major: Sociocultural Anthropology (or some variation of it)
Applied: UCSD, UCSB, UCLA, Berkeley

<p>My question to all us Anthro transfers would be…</p>

<p>…which is your school of choice? I know LA has. Great Anthro program and so does San Diego but Berkeley is just so legendary, as well as UCI…figured I’d ask the other Anthro majors. …</p>

<p>Edit: & a bunch of EC’s including teaching abroad, president of a few clubs and delivering babies during my free time…okay the last part wasn’t true.</p>

<p>Holidays: Berkeley, followed by UCSC. Of the ones you’ve been accepted to, I’d pick Santa Barbara.</p>

<p>My school of choice? Well, although their anthropology dept’s rank in this order: Berkeley, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD…</p>

<p>My personal preference is UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD, UCSB. I know I can’t go wrong with any school, so I’m picking a place where I know that I’ll be happy while studying something I love.</p>

<p>Any particular reason why? Just askin’ here.</p>

<p>UCLA has been my dream schools ever since I was a wee lad! (5th grade ;))
I love the campus environment, the school spirit, I’d be moving back home (from San Diego to LA,) amazing academics… everything I want in a school is at UCLA.</p>

<p>@evan exactly man. I know the rankings aren’t exactly in UCD’s favor, but I’d still go there over SB.</p>

<p>Oh ya forgot to answer the post. I’m in at UCI, UCD, UCSB +eops! all for anthro.
My GPA is 3.80, with no tags for any of them, Good ecs</p>

<p>yeah +1 for what Evan said.
Evan ftw.</p>
