Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hi, I am a CC student whose been going to CC for 2 yrs now and I finished the IGETC and did the Honors program to get TAP Certified. I havent finish all my major course but 3/9 done. I have a 3.65 gpa, can you tell me my chances of getting into UCLA (primary) or any other UC's? PS: I am also in Alpha Gamma Sigma and Phi Theta Kappa, I am just an active member not in any officer positions. I have done 20 hrs of community service at Boys and Girls Club and I also worked in a orphanage for mentally challenged kids in Mexico with my Church Mission Group. I've had a job as a tutor for two bright kids but had to quit because I needed to concentrate on my studies. also pre-dental major.</p>

<p>SORRY TYPO AT THE HEADER</p>

<p>What major are you applying to UCLA and the other UC’s, since there is no such thing as a pre-dental major.</p>

3

<p>biochemistry major.</p>

4

<p>Yeah I definitely would write a very compelling essay, because Biochemistry is a really hard major to get into. I know some people with 3.8 that didn’t get into UCLA…</p>

5

<p>ask your english professors for help! this is where your writing matters</p>

6

<p>Ohh okay I understand, I just have to try to write a really good essay.
Thanks for the advice</p>

<p>biochem is not a really hard major to get into. i believe the acceptance rate is somewhere around 50% with the average gpa being around a 3.5. as long as you have all your pre-req’s done, i think you should be fine.</p>

<p>sorry iambeowulf you are incorrect. </p>

<p>Biochemistry admit rate is w/ an average 3.77 gpa. </p>

<p>Cc to ucla or other ucla?!</p>

<p>P.s. your chances are slim! Good luck!</p>

10

<p>I’d say slim just because of the prerequisites. But GPA is pretty okay, regardless if the average is a 3.7. </p>

<p>I also believe that the ones with above 3.7 could have not completed the prerequisites. Like 2/9 prereqs with a 4.0.</p>

<p>We also don’t know if there are people with complete prereqs and a 3.4</p>

<p>So don’t trip about the GPA! Do your prereqs and get good grades in them :)</p>

11

<p>Also, join more extra curricular activities because even if you get a high GPA, it doesn’t matter because you would have nothing to support that GPA. And working while in college is a good thing too.</p>

Ecs are overrated for UC admission. Don’t work if you don’t have to</p>

13

<p>Guys Really appreciate the advice you guys are giving me.
Thanks</p>

14

<p>I know two people that had a 3.8 and a 4.0 and had absolutely no clubs and didn’t get into UCLA or Cal. </p>

<p>You need extra curricular activities or else they think you aren’t well rounded.</p>

<p>First all all, i’d make sure your “friends” had their prereqs finished. Secondly, a lack of ECs (and life in general) will shine most glaringly in your essay. I would bet a million dollars to toledo that their essays were trash.
I had one semester of community service and a one club officer position, and I got into both ucb and ucla with less than a 3.8 so…
Sure if you do nothing your time in college and have nothing to say then yeah you wont look like a good candidate, but you can EASILY explain away lack of ECs.
This specific student, given the info he/she has given is fine.</p>

<p>Ecs are overrated on this board for UC admissions.</p>

16

<p>Wow admissions sounds really tough for biochem majors, glad I’m applied math and didn’t have to get a 3.8 with millions of ECs.</p>

17

<p>So for me to get into UCLA is to get my gpa up to 3.8 and do more ECs to make my app shine?</p>

18

<p>With TAP You are fine with the GPA you have given you complete your prereqs.</p>

19

<p>Will the tap help me get into ucla with the gpa i have?</p>
