<p>i would say 50% chance to UCI, UCSB, 85% chance UCR, and <5% chance of UCLA, this is due to your low GPA. However, it can vary depend on your major and I m not familiar with your major so it may be higher for UCI and UCSB. you should work hard to raise your GPA, at least a 3.0. Gd Luck</p>

<p>Even with your major, as I said before, you need the excuse. Its like the 800 pound gorilla in the admissions room, you can’t simply ignore a low GPA. It needs explanation, just like everyone in the room needs an explanation as to how the gorilla got so fat, and what he likes for breakfast.</p>

4

<p>hmm your gpa is low but your major is not very popular so… I’d say 95% at UCR, 50/50 at UCI, UCSB, no real chance at UCLA.</p>

5

<p>Woah lingustics psychology at ucla has a really low gpa acceptance rate - 3.39. But yours is a lot lower haha</p>

6

<p>2.79 or just 2.7 cause a 2.7 means 40% chance at riverside honestly and nearly 0% for LA/Irvine/SB imho</p>

7

<p>one of my old friends was accepted to ucsb with a 2.6 last year so just saying</p>

8

<p>doesn’t that just completely skew your perception of the UC system? ^ That shouldn’t be allowed.</p>

9

<p>There is no way thats true. ^^^ 2.6? </p>

<p>I really hope you get into all your schools, but isn’t a 2.7 much lower than the minimum requirment?</p>

10

<p>not true ^minimum requirement for junior transfer is a 2.4 gpa, 2.8 is considered competitive.</p>

11

<p>but not to UCB/UCLA or any impacted major</p>

12

<p>Really?</p>

<p>That’s pretty wild. So a person below a 3.0 can get into UCSB?</p>

13

<p>yes, a person below a 3.0 gpa could get admitted to ucsb–months ago, i talked to a admission counselor over at ucsb and she said even with a 2.8-2.9 transfer gpa they hold “good” chance to be admitted…</p>

14

<p>That’s good. I can’t wait to hear tomorrow. I hope I hear tomorrow. I can’t wait another minute…</p>
