Applying to UC from Out-of-State??? HELP!

<p>I recently applied for transfer to UC for the Fall 2010 semester. I'm new to this site, I just have general questions about what my chances may be for getting accepted to the UC schools I applied to. (UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCD, UCSB, UCR, UCB). I currently attend a 4-year university, I am a sophomore right now at Ferris State University. What do the UC schools look for in a transfer applicant from out of state? as in what gpa do they look for? what extra curricular activities? etc.</p>

<p>What’s your major and GPA?</p>

<p>My major here at Ferris State is Applied Biology looking to go into Medicine/Ophthalmology…my cumulative university GPA right now is 2.97…and I think thats unweighted, idk the difference, after I retake a course this spring, my GPA should go up, I basically didnt do good in one course (Gen Chem 2) and I got A’s and B’s this semester…Also idk how UC calculates their GPA’s, but here a B+ is a 3.3…does the UC system go by that? If not then my GPA should be higher than that 2.97…</p>

<p>Well after doing a quick check on statfinder ([University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/]University”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/)), it looks like nobody got accepted in 2008 at UCB or UCLA with your stats (out of state, biological+biomedical sciences, ~3.0 GPA).</p>

<p>You can figure out your chances at the other schools by creating a custom table.</p>

<p>oh hey thanks! yeah i figured my chances were slim to none at UCB and UCLA considering they are the most competitive…i was shooting more for irvine and san diego, thanks for the help!</p>
