<p>My first yr I went to a CSU and now I am going to a CC. I wasnt very motivated at my CSU but now I am super motivated. I got a job, am taking 12 units in the summer, and have 2 internships lined up. I am majoring in political science. I already finished one class in the summer and got an A. I will easily finish all my GE and prerequisites. Most will be done by Spring. I will have close to 90 units with my AP credits. Also, I was in the honors program at my CSU. Will all those extracurriculars help me? Which UCs could I possibly get into? Specifically, I am interested in UCSD and UCLA. I am using TAG towards UCSB. I will be transferrring in fall of 2013 and don't know where I should apply.</p>
<p>How can anyone chance you without a GPA? That’s by far the most important thing, especially for UCLA.</p>
<p>Well if you continue working hard like you say you are, then UCLA may be a target/reach…but like LA4LYFE said…we need to see a GPA</p>
<p>Oops sorry forgot the most important part. I had a 3.4 at a CSU and have a 4.0 so far at a CCC.</p>
<p>So overall a 3.5</p>
<p>^Or higher depending on which CSU classes don’t transfer.</p>
<p>Ya hopefully higher. So do you think I have a chance at UCLA or is it a waste to apply there?</p>
<p>You should definitely apply, unless financial reasons will make it difficult for you. For Fall 2011 the average admitted GPA at UCLA for Political was a 3.79. Try to bring up your GPA this Summer and Fall, as those grades will be included in your GPA. And of course, make sure you complete all of your pre-reqs and IGETC by the end of Spring.</p>
<p>At a 3.5 I would say you have an outside shot at getting into UCLA. You would have to dazzle them with your essay and be sure to follow thru with all those things you said you had lined up. The biggest concern I have with people who did ok and then try to turn things around is that they try to over compensate by doing too much and thats what comes back to bite them. Another concern is the fact that you have AP credits, this can hurt you as a transfer by 1)messing with the total number of units that you think you have and 2) they dont provide a letter grade. This means that if a college were having to pick between you and another student with the exact same profile, but instead of AP credit, has letter grades, would be more likely to accept them instead of you…food for thought.</p>
