<p>I'm transferring from UC Santa Cruz and will be applying to UC Davis, UC San Diego, and (possibly) UCLA. Here's my majors for each campus:</p>
<ol>
<li>UC Davis (1st choice) - Physics B.S.</li>
<li>UCLA - Electrical Engineering</li>
<li>UCSD - Electrical Engineering</li>
</ol>
<p>GPA: 3.89 (lowest possible GPA, I might be able to pull off a 4.0 if I get lucky.)
112 quarter units completed
No TAG (obviously... I'm a UC-UC applicant)
My GEs will not be completed. (This is what I'm afraid will hurt me the most).</p>
<p>All prereqs for Physics (UC Davis) will be completed by Spring 2013, and I'll be missing around 2-3 engineering prereqs for UCSD and UCLA.</p>
<p>ECs:
1000 community service hours from high school (all tutoring)
Key Club in high school
Track and Field in high school
Part time job at UCSC (as a tutor/programmer/cafeteria worker)</p>
<p>Chances please? Thank you! :)</p>
<p>BUMP! Anyone? My GPA is gonna be a 3.7 btw… I just got my summer grades back.</p>
<p>Really guys?? No one? I know there’s tons of people who’ve done intercampus transfers before… -____-</p>
<p>Guess you spoke too soon with the lowest possible grade of a 3.8 eh? And chance threads are usually pointless for public schools because they don’t take a holistic look at your application. Like SD for example, they straight up go by a point system to accept you.</p>
<p>Yeah, I spoke a little too soon. It’s a lesson well learned though… now I know not to take classes without looking at ratemyprofessors.com first. I got a C in calc 1, but if I get an A in calc 2, would it still hurt me? Thanks again! And yea, I know that holistic isn’t really the way most UCs go. But can you chance me based on my GPA?</p>
<p>Hello OP,
I too am a banana slug looking to transfer to a different UC this year. I too received a C in Calculus 1 but was told by the CC family that everything would be fine if I did well in the math classes that were to come (I ended up with a B+ in Calculus 2, I don’t know why I wasn’t given the A to tell you the truth but anyways). Calculus 1 is only one of 5+ math prereq courses you are to take if you are looking to pursuit engineering. Keep your math grades strong from now on though. How are you planning on taking Calculus 2, Math 23A, Math 23B, AMS 10/Math 21 and AMS 20/Math 24 in the course of one year? </p>
<p>I have a question that you might be able to help me out with, do you know if we can get by with taking the Physics 6 series or do we have to take the 5 series to transfer?</p>
<p>Ahh, ok, so the C shouldn’t hurt me too much then. I’m coming in as a freshman this Fall and I took on 14 units at my local CCC this summer (Calc 1, Chem 1, and Speech) and I ended up getting the C in Calc and As in Chem and Speech. Anyhow, I’m looking to get out of UCSC by next year as a junior transfer (I’ll have 90+ units from my APs, my summer units and the units I’m about to take this year at UCSC).</p>
<p>I’m taking Math 19B this Fall, 23A and Math 21 this Winter, 23B and Math 24 this Spring. Math 21’s prereq is Calc 19A, which I already completed. Math 24’s prereq is Math 23A, which will be completed in the Winter. So yeah, I’m doubling up on the math courses in Winter and Spring. (Btw, don’t take the AMS courses… apparently they don’t count for engineering at UCSC/other UC campuses and if you take them and then end up getting rejected everywhere, you’d have to take the same material in the form of Math 21 and 24 at UCSC. It’s a waste of time/classes).</p>
<p>And I think it’s best if you take the Physics 5 series. Physics 6 is geared more for Science majors, and again, if you end up getting rejected everywhere this year and you take the 6 series, you’d have to retake the entire 5 series to graduate from UCSC (UCSC doesn’t accept the 6 series for engineering majors).</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I’m at ucsc too and also trying to transfer.
If u got a C in calc during the summer at a community college, dont worry cuz it wont apply to your gpa. All community college courses pretty much show up as pass/nopass on your uc record.
I dont know how impacted those majors are so I can’t give a good insight on your chances, but if you still have that 3.9-4.0 (since community college courses dont apply to the uc gpa), your chances shouldn’t be bad considering you’re pretty much done with pre-reqs.
I dont know if finishing GEs will affect your transfer chances or not, because ucs just advise you to finish your GEs so that you won’t have a massive overload of GE classes at your new school. It might be one of those pointers where they dont really care if you finish or not, but they want to help you graduate on time. Not sure though.
Most schools consider UC-UC transfers after CCC transfers except for UCLA i think. UCLA says that they give equal opportunities to UC or CCC transfers (even though the numbers are a little lower for UC-UC transfers)</p>
