<p>How high should my GPA be to transfer to LA or CAL...</p>
<p>for Economics in LA and CAL...</p>

<p>Current Gpa..4.0 but 2 more semesters to go......</p>
<p>Go to city college of SF btw</p>
<p>Well I went to ccsf too and I am applying to Cal and LA for nest fall.</p>
<p>Have you gotten your hands on an "answers for transfers" booklet yet? They list the acceptance rates for all of the UCs. Remember, the UCs give priority to junior transfers coming from CCCs, so you have a very strong shot at both if you can keep your GPA up.</p>
<p>Here is the breakdown of acceptance SPECIFICALLY for juniors coming from CCCs: (from 2006)
Berkeley: Applicants: 8744 Accepted: 2811 Rate: 32.1%</p>
<p>UCLA: Applicants: 11.003 Accepted: 4931 Rate: 44.8%</p>
<p>Remember that info is not including non CCC transfers. So even though that doesn't give a specific GPA requirement, think of it like this. You simply need to be in the top 32% to get into Cal or the top 44% for LA! If you have a 4.0 I'd say your chances are quite high.</p>
<p>You never do know though.</p>
<p>thx man id be sure to get the booklet</p>
<p>I know that CC means community college and that around CT CCC means Capital Community College, but what does it mean when CCC is used in a general way?</p>
<p>CCC = California Community College</p>
<p>What would be my chances if I have a 4.0 but I'm not from a CCC to Berkeley?</p>
<p>I'd be entering as a Junior</p>
<p>Same here. 4.0 GPA from University of Houston. Probably go to USC for a semester since I was accepted and then apply to Cal business...</p>

<p>According to this "answers for transfers" guide, the 2006 data for transfers students from four year colleges is as follows:</p>
<p>Berkeley: Applicants: 1913 Accepted: 260 Rate: 13.6%</p>
<p>UCLA: Applicants: 2123 Accepted: 415 Rate: 19.5%</p>
<p>This data is for ALL transfer applicants from 4 year universities, both in state and out of state, so I'm assuming that it makes no difference. </p>
<p>I should also mention that all of the other UCs, even UCSD, have MUCH higher acceptance rates for CCC and 4 year transfers. </p>
<p>The only issue for out of state transfers would be the general ed requirements. All of the CCCs use the same IGETC pattern of lower division general education because it is accepted by all of the UCs for 90%+ of their programs. Completion of the lower division work and pre-major work greatly increases the chances of being accepted by the schools. You both have 4.0 GPAs so that would really be the only other deciding factor.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Isn't it near impossible to transfer to cal or ucla from an out of state c.c.? I swear I remember seeing a stat. saying cal accepted 32 such transfers last year.</p>
<p>California residents are always given priority in the UC system. </p>
<p>glau121: Look at this to see the breakdown for your major (UCLA): </p>
<p>For economics the overall admit rate is ~22%</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>Why are they given priority ? </p>
<p>I don't get it.</p>
<p>ty colegePLEASE, exactly wat i was looking for</p>
<p>now if any1 got one for berk id appreciate it</p>
<p>pcristiani: because they pay california state taxes.</p>
<p>All of the UC schools are public schools given state funding. As a result, Californians are given priority admission.</p>
<p>If you are applying as out-state it is really hard to get in especially Cal!</p>
