Chances at getting into Berkeley and UCLA w/out major requirements

<p>Ok, so here is the deal, I am a Cognitive Science major and currently attending Pasadena City College I will have a 3.7 GPA when I apply this fall and will have IGETC done by the time I transfer. I have a few extracurriculars - I am currently VP for External Affairs on Associated Students(student government), I am a design team member for a Pilot High School in LAUSD, I volunteer at my former HS, I am a CCCP (Center for Community College Partnership) Scholar, I have been a part of a few clubs (Feminist, Students for Social Justice, Seeds of Change- it's a sustainability club). </p>

<p>But, it appears that when I apply I will only have 1/2 of the transfer requirements for UCLA (I will not have the 2 Calc classes and the Computer Science class, but I will have Psych,Physics,and Bio) And for Berkeley I will not have the only 2 major requirements they want (Calculus and Discrete Mathematics) </p>

<p>So, with all that said what are my chances of getting into either UCLA or Berkeley without the major requirements.</p>

<p>As long as you finish all your requirements by spring semester you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Responded on your other thread.</p>

<p>it appears I made a typo. I meant to say that it appears to be that when I transfer I will not have those major requirements for those schools. In other words there is no way that I will be able to finish the major requirements by the end of Spring, however for Berkeley there is a chance that I could complete the major requirements the summer between the end of spring and fall when I would start at Berkeley (presuming I got in). So should I still try to transfer (would I have a good shot of getting in?) or should I stay another year to be more competitive?</p>

<p>Have you done the TAP program at your college because that would help if you did.</p>

<p>Major prereqs are the most important thing after TAG TAP. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING</p>

<p>If you’re dead set on UCLA and Berkeley for that major, what difference does it make it if you apply now? Maybe $80, just to find out if you get in or not? Even if you don’t get in, you would have still waited another year just to finish the requisites if you knew for a fact that they wouldn’t accept you w/o the major requirements completed.</p>

<p>Good GPA, good EC’s.</p>

<p>But in response to your thread title: nil. Cal/LA have rejected 4.0 people who missed prereqs. No excuse not to complete them especially if they’re offered in your CC.</p>

<p>Thank you all very much. I greatly appreciate it this has helped a lot.</p>

<p>if you finish the pre-reqs in the fall you apply, that counts as finishing right?? does it??</p>

<p>Yes!! It does!!</p>
