Chance me for Cal, LA, SD

<p>I'm a political science major who applied to transfer to Cal, LA, and SD. I will have a 3.80 CCC GPA at the end of this semester (3.83 or so at the end of the Spring, assuming I get all A's, but I don't think they really take spring classes into account in your GPA as long as you didn't do badly), and 60+ units, igetc, the available major prereqs, etc, all done at the end of spring. I think I have average extra-cirriculars and a stellar pair of personal statements. What are my odds at each of these schools? I assume it's 100% at San Diego, but I'm more curious about the other two.</p>

<p>There is one minor issue that makes my transcript strange, however. Namely it is that I will have never taken more than 9 units in a single semester. This is because I did my first 40 units or so while I was still in high school, so I never needed to do more than 9 units in any semester. I don't know whether or not this will affect my chances because it will make them think that I can't handle more than 2-3 classes per semester or something.</p>

<p>What do you guys think my chances are?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Your GPA is good. Make sure they know you used your time wisely. How did you finish 40 units while in high school?</p>

<p>3.8 GPA is quite good for Cal, LA, and SD. However, they might question the GPA as you never did take more than 9 units a semester. I'm fairly certain anyone can get even a 4.0 taking only 9 units a semester. The whole point of having a rigorous courseload while maintaining a good GPA is to prove that you can survive at the UC once you transfer.</p>
