ATTENTION UCLA COMMUNICATION transfers! New rule for applying this year!

<p>I just saw this on UCLA admissions webpage:</p>

<p>"To be considered for admission, applicants must have a minimum 3.5 GPA at the time of application. There are seven lower division courses total; AT LEAST FOUR OF WHICH SHOULD BE COMPLETED BEFORE YOU APPLY".</p>

<p>I had no idea! I have 3 prereqs completed, but would have taken a summer class easily if I had known. Right now I'm completing another 2 prereqs, but it doesn't seem as if that would count since they have to be COMPLETED by the time we apply. I thought they could be completed by spring prior to transfer. </p>

<p>assist.org is not even updated on this! I usually check assist for any changes. </p>

<p>Anyone else who has to reconsider major?! Or wait a year??</p>

<p>so which part is new? i’m pretty sure it was always like that. i read it in the summer and it said the same thing about how u have to finish 4 by the time u apply. do we have to take all 7 before we transfer though? even though our school does not offer the classes?</p>

<p>I just always check assist.org and it doesn’t say anything about the 4 prerequisites that need to be completed by the time you apply. None of my counselors have told me this either.</p>

<p>:( </p>

<p>But yeah, definitely need to finish up all of them by spring to be competitive! But if your college doesn’t offer, try to enroll in classes at a nearby college or just don’t take them at all. From what I understood they’re not going to “punish you” just because your college didn’t offer certain classes.</p>

<p>What part is new? They need to update it to say “To be considered for admission, applicants must have a minimum 3.9 GPA at the time of application.”</p>
