Chances and Questions

<p>Well, I am so nervous about applying to UCB and UCLA. So here I am. Hopefully this will get me some general idea of my acceptance rate. Please look at my stats and see if I have a chance to UCLA and UCB</p>

<p>current school: Santa Monica College
GPA: 3.85
major: Political Science
IGETC: will be done by spring
Pre-reqs: done with all A's
UC units: I will have 85+ units by spring
EC: volunteer at church (I have more than 1000 hours of community service)
TAP certified/ Scholars Program</p>

<p>Alone with my stats, I have some questions. I recently heard that UCB accepts students with 90 transferable units as senior. Is that true for Political Science major? Also, if I do transfer as Junior with 89 units, is it still possible for me to finish undergrad degree in a year? Thanx guys :)</p>

<p>You have a very good chance. I’d say you’re in for sure since you happen to be TAP certified.</p>

<p>Also, assuming you’re referring to 89 semester units, no you will not be able to graduate in a year. Although you may have completed a high number of transferable courses, only up to 70 units will count towards the graduation minimum of 120. You will have your two junior/senior years to complete the remaining 50 units.</p>

<p>Thanks Koreo. That’s what I thought until I saw the UC application. At least for Berkeley, there is an option where you can transfer as a senior (90units). So I am little confused. I guess you cannot transfer as senior then?</p>

<p>I believe that option is exclusively for students that are attempting to transfer from another four-year university.</p>

<p>ahh I see. Thanks again Koreo :)</p>

<p>No problem. Good luck on your apps.</p>
