<p>I am totally freaked out about getting into a UC. Here's my story-</p>

<p>Fall 2007, I entered Purdue University - Krannert School of Management.
-During my first semester, I got a 3.4 in the 15 units I took.</p>

<p>But just after my first semster, I had to transfer to California, into any school I could (not CC) as I had a family emergency. My mom fell sick and I had to move back to take care of her. her recovery took a whole semester. I transfered to Univeristy of San Francisco Spring 2008, same place where I am currently enrolled.</p>

<p>I could not live on campus, but had to commute 3 hours a day to and from school, so I could take care of my mom. I got a 3.44 my Spring semester, leaving me a 3.44 transfer GPA when I applied to UC for admission for Fall 09.</p>

<p>Here are my stats.</p>

<p>During application-
-Transfer GPA 3.44
-# of Units completed 30 (I had to drop out of an elective, 2 credit class for time conflict, with a W. It was a computer science elective)
-# in progess 16
-# planned 16
-2 jobs during school, working an average of 20-30 hours a week
-volunteering at 3 places, including an elemetary school basketball team
-awards/accomplishments
-I think I wrote a above average personal statement.
-Wrote my transfer reason from previous school in other info - and my wish to challenge myself</p>

<p>Update-
-Fall 08 GPA, 3.82
-New Transfer GPA - 3.63
-Units completed 46
-Units planned 16
-Completed all pre-reqs for major, as well as UC requirements</p>

<p>I have applied to UCB, UCLA, UCSB and UCI. </p>

<p>I have all pre reqs completed for all schools, inlcuding major requirements. Do you think I have a chance for them???</p>

<p>Thanks so much for any feedback!! I really would like to know!</p>

<p>In at UCSB and UCI.. Very decent shot at LA and Cal</p>

<p>It really depends what major you're applying for to have your chances to be more accurate so may you please state your major?</p>

<p>How much harder is it for someone like the OP who is in-state, but not attending a CC to transfer? </p>

<p>I know it's harder, but I've never read any statistics on quantifying how much harder.</p>

5

<p>Well the bottom line is, UC's give first priority to CC transfers than any other.</p>

6

<p>The admit rate to UCLA from USF last year was 7% </p>
