<p>I have NO clue how difficult it is for a Studio Art major to get into UCB, but I know how impacted UCLA is, so I'd appreciate your opinion.</p>
<p>Major: UCB - Art, practice of UCLA - Studio Art
College: TRANSFER - from El Camino (attended others, but certification is from ECC)
GPA: currently 3.73 - 45 units
- Summer 2008 - 9 units, two A's, one B
-Fall 2008 - 24 units, all A's, one B
- Winter - 12 units, all A's, one C (I will never understand Poli Sci!)
-currently finishing my last 2 classes for IGETC certification, and a handful of art classes as prep for major (also doing more for Summer, just prep)</p>
<p>Yes, I started college Summer 2008 and finished my GE in a single year (they'll notice this right? That I took so many units and did well). But since I had so many classes, I didn't work at all or join any organizations/clubs. </p>
<p>If you have anything to say, negative or positive (hopefully), I'd appreciate it because I'm so anxious and have NO idea if I even have a shot and would really like to know! Thanks.</p>
<p>Well, when I was a single mom, I didn’t have a lot of work or outside activity cred on my transcripts either. I did the IGETC thing and was accepted to UCLA and UCSB. I was told by UCB I’d have been good there except that I had a few too many credits for them to have taken me as a junior IGETC transfer (I had some prior classes).</p>
<p>And yes, they’ll notice, just as they noticed the semester I did something like 36 credit hours because I had to cure a semester’s worth of incompletes I suffered as a result of a bad back injury.</p>
<p>Now, I was shooting for Bus Econ, not studio art, so take with the appropriate grain of salt. Talk to your couselors and get a read from them. Good luck!</p>
bummer.</p>
