Applying to UCLA questions!

<p>Ok, so I read this thing on the UC website about that you need a minimum of 60 units to transfer. Well I will have 47 to 50 units done by the end of this fall and i will be applying to UCB and UCLA this fall. does it mean that I will get rejected automatically? and when is the exact date to submit your application deadline for fall 2010 to ucla and ucb because my fall semester ends in the beginning on december.</p>

<p>chance me!</p>

<p>From: California Community College
Applying:UCLA,UCB,UCI,USC(Communications major),Vanderbilt,NYU(Coomunications Major)
GPA:3.65
Major: Business... except for USC and NYU (communications)
EC: TAP, Honors society(publicity), student government(inner council), part time worker and bilingual.</p>

<p>Comments: im on my second year at a community college. i went to a community college because my high school GPA was a 2.1 and was not gonna be able to get in any university also i was in several sports like varsity football for three years, varsity track and field, and basketball for freshman year.....i was too busy with sports and that education was not in my mind at all i just focused on sports all through out high school then.</p>

<p>No you can take classes in Spring as well, the final date to send in your ap in November 30. They will also give you a winter update to input your fall grades and winter too depending on when your CC offers that!</p>

<p>UCLA: The Comm department doesnt care about TAP and your GPA is a little bit low for their highly competitive program. I would say reach, other schools, I’m not sure. Check out the acceptance rates for that and business! Why don’t you want to do comm at UCLA? It has a much better program than USC.</p>

<p>you need 60+ units by the end of spring semester before you transfer</p>

<p>Sounds like UCI.</p>

<p>well since I’m registered in TAP already it doesn’t apply to a communications major for UCLA so thats why i picked business for UCLA and communications for USC… are you sure UCLA has a better communications program than USC? don’t USC have a great alumni and connections when looking for a career after… and hopefully by the end of fall when i apply ill have a 3.7 or 3.8 GPA</p>

<p>I wouldn’t recommend applying to the Comm department at UCLA unless you have a 4.0. They had a 9% acceptance rate this year and the average GPA was 3.95.</p>

<p>with 3.65
UCLA - no
UCB - far reach
UCI - match
USC(Communications major) - slight reach?</p>

<p>w/3.8
UCLA - reach
UCB - match/slight reach
UCI - match
USC(Communications major) - match</p>

<p>get all a’s from now on and you might have a slight chance…I agree with all that pinkerfloyd says. he is right on.</p>

<p>well, Communications major has gone crazy in past several years at UCLA. I think 3.65 is still not enough to get in. You should work harder in the winter and the spring.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about the unit cap, if you’re coming from a community college it doesn’t apply to you. It only applies to students who are transferring from a 4 year who can simply continue at their current school and earn their degree if they have too many units. Obviously there’s no where else to go after community college, so the UC system is not going to condemn you to tertiary purgatory. I had 95/143 semester/quarter units when I transferred from a CC, and they cut it down to 70/105.</p>

<p>Also, I doubt you’ll get into Berkeley as a business major (Haas, right?) with anything less than a 3.8, and even then I’d call it a reach… I think the admit rate for transfers is 7%.</p>

<p>dang my heart just dropped…lol… well im in the TAP program is that still not gonna get me in???</p>

<p>also whats the difference between business econ and economics??? does business econ major give you a better shot at better careers after school than economics major??? because i know business econ is more impact than economics.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>yeah… the transfer rate is in the single digits, but it’s really misleading… of the nearly 2,000 people who apply, about 1,600 of them haven’t finished ALL the prereqs… their applications are automatically denied. so of the remaining ~400, whose applications are actually considered, ~ 200 get accepted. </p>

<p>you can check the statfinder for exact numbers, but yeah… don’t be so discouraged.</p>

<p>and socal4… if you want to be one of those accepted 200, your GPA should be 3.8 or greater.</p>
