<p>i applied at Cal & LA this year too as a Soc major, 3.7 gpa.
I read online that last year average acceptance rate was 3.8.</p>

<p>Love this thread already since I’m a Sociology major! I’m applying to UCSD too…but I can’t believe they waitlisted you. You have a fantastic GPA.</p>

<p>Mine isn’t as fantastic as yours though. It’s at a 3.34. </p>

<p>It’s probably the flood of tag applicants that got you waitlisted :/</p>

<p>Anyways…did you get in through the waitlist? (UCSD) thanks!</p>

<p>I just realized this is an old thread LOLOLOL</p>

<p>@rca2446: Do you have the link? The Berkeley advisor came to our college and she said that with a 3.7 I can get into the major at Berk. I think we have a 65% chance. Hopefully…</p>

<p>I am in the same boat as you. 3.7~ GPA for Sociology at UCLA. Hopefully it’s high enough :)</p>

<p>@UCLAProspect: I applied to UCB (Soc.) & UCLA (Psych). I hope it’s enough. I know that it’s less impacted than Psychology…you have a good chance. I gave up on UCLA (Psych). I hope I can get into UCB. We will see! I hope we get in! :]</p>
