Chance Me Please :)

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello,
I'm on route to applying this upcoming semester for a handful of Universities. I have a couple in mind and wanted to know what you guys think my chances are. Also, if you guys have any suggestions on what schools would best fit my criteria, by all means let me know!</p>

<p>-Age:21
-Location: Los Angeles, California
-Nationality: Armenian (considered white/Caucasian)
-GPA: 3.3 (Will be bumped up to about 3.5 during the next few semesters before x-fer)
-Bi-Lingual(English and Armenian) but currently taking Spanish Classes
-First Generation College Student coming from a low income family.</p>

<p>E.C.'s: I'm really not sure if High School ECs are important for a transfer but i'm going to list them anyways</p>

<p>Highschool
-Bridge Program (took college courses during high school)
-Drama Club (Was done in my native language/ Had a lead role in the major play)
-School Band(Saxophonist)
-Worked part-time (subway and liquor store)</p>

<p>Community College
-Economics Club (board member)
-Math Pack (program allowing 2 calculus courses taken in 1 semester)
- Full Time/ Part Time work (Lenscrafters)
-ASA (Armenian Student Association)
-AYF( Armenian Youth Federation: Educates and partakes in events with the local youth)
-Basketball coach for 6th graders at my High School</p>

<p>There were a couple semesters where I didn't do as best as i could receiving a few Fs and Ws. It was partly due to my carelessness, full time job(Since money isn't abundant in my family), and the type of environment such as friends I hung around. Since those 3-4 semesters, I've gotten my act together and have received all As(Including retaking the Fs) for the following 3 semesters(About 25 units) since then. I plan to take about another 50 units until transferring and retaking 2 important classes: Econ 1A(A major requirement) and English 1A because i received Cs in them. I know it will not count towards my GPA but i just want to show myself that I'm not longer that idiot that f***ed up in school and is capable of getting As.</p>

<p>Schools in Mind:
-All the UCs except Merced
-Claremont McKenna
-Pamona College
-Pepperdine
-Occidental College
-University of Texas-Austin
-Penn State
-Arizona State Uni.
-Boston College
-University of Rochester
-University of Michigan
-USC
-Syracuse</p>

<p>Also i have completed about 82 units of College Credits in which i believe most are transferable. So by the time around xfering comes i will be at about around 132 credits if not fewer. This is because i am going to take a couple more advanced math courses until i transfer.</p>

<p>and a very important detail left out: My Major Is Economics.</p>

<p>bumppppppppppppp</p>

5

<p>hey i am in the same boat but from UCR ):. trying to transfer for spring admission to claremont mckenna, bu, nyu and u michigan</p>

<p>let me know how it goes.
because you go to a cc in socal, you have a higher chance than me in getting into UCs</p>

6

<p>Yea ill let you know. At this point I’m just trying to figure out what my chances of getting into the private and out of state colleges are.</p>

7

<p>can anybody else please let me know what my chances are for the private and out of state colleges?</p>

<p>For the UCs:
I think you stand a chance at at least some of them ESPECIALLY if you incorporate your grades into your personal statement-- tell them what you learned and how you have grown from past experiences. UCs appreciate upward gpa trends.
You stand a GREAT chance at UCs if you do a TAG)Transfer Admision Guarantee.</p>

<p>Privates and out of States:
Its going to be harder because applying to out of state schools is more competitive. Again focus on personnel statement. Maybe pick up some easier, yet relevant and transferable classes to pick up that GPA. Of this lot, i think Occidental is your best chance.</p>
