Hey everyone, like most of you on this forum I am very nervous about admission decisions. To start, I am a transfer student currently enrolled at a community college in northern california, and the major I applied for was Film and Television.
I applied to (in order of favorite) UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, CSU northridge
Now into the stats:
College GPA 3.93
- I took one college class my sophomore summer of highschool and got a B in it. I haven’t gotten lower than an A since then.
67 units as of the end of this term
IGETC completed
SAT 1340, 710 math and a 630 reading
High School GPA 3.3 (they didn’t ask for this in the application)
I applied after high school to UCLA as a Nursing Major, but was denied from that.
As for extracurriculars, I currently have two jobs. I work as a part time server, about 20-30 hours per week. I also work as an actor, with only a few small gigs. I take acting classes and some film and directing classes outside of school. I don’t participate in any clubs or community service work, but I do spend my free time making short films with my friends and uploading them to youtube. My essays are pretty strong for both the UC application and supplemental application. As for letters of recommendation, I have one from my theatre teacher, and one from my stepdad (a UCLA Alumni who donates and is involved with the school).
As for my worries: I don’t have much to show for outside of my gpa and essays. I had applied before and was denied, but it was for Nursing (and I didn’t do the supplemental for it, no wonder I got denied. Just changed my mind on the major after starting the application.) I am also worried about the interviews, what are they/ who gets them?
Thank you all for reading this!
