<p>I'm Tryn to transfer from a CSU school. I heard that doesn't help.
CSU GPA: 3.9
Major: Economics
High School GPA:3.0
Very poor SAT score(1600)
From Los Angeles
45 units completed, will have 60 by next fall.
Work 40+ hours a week.
EC:keep private for now.</p>
<p>since no one else replied...</p>
<p>if you mean 60 quarter units, then you have no chance.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm guessing you mentioned your high school GPA and SAT score to indicate that you're a lower-division transfer? In that case, it's a really long shot. Moving from your CSU to a CCC would be easier on the $ and would give you admissions preference, afaik</p>
<p>Guyy - why does it matter if its semester or quarter units...? </p>
<p>Anyways.. I'm trying to transfer from a CSU too, but my GPA is 3.51 as a Civil Engineer. We'll see how that goes. Just keep up your GPA, and I'll keep you updated wether or not I get accepted to the school I applied to.</p>
<p>dbguy- semester and quarter units are not the same i thought. generally something like 1 semester credit = 1.5 quarter unit.</p>
<p>Oh, well... lucky for me that my school is semester then huh?</p>

<p>No. The minimum to transfer is 90quarter units. So that means that one can start taking 15 units a quarter staring the exactly 1 year before fall 08. 15 units a quarter is the average course load. They can't punish you for taking the average courseload if you been taking them continuously for a year. Additionally, by taking 15units/quarter, you'll end up with exactly 60quarter units by the time of application which is to be expected.</p>
<p>maybe i'm misinterpreting "45 units completed, will have 60 by next fall."</p>
<p>to me this means that he currently has 45 units completed and 60 by fall (time to transfer) and you said so yourself that LA required at least 90 quarter units.</p>
<p>um 60 semester credits is 2 years~
which is what UC's want as an undergrad transfer</p>
<p>"If your own review indicates that the transferable number of units is within the range required (60-90 semester, 86-129 quarter), you are eligible to apply."

<p>let me say it again, if you mean 60 quarter units, you have no chance.</p>
<p>The question is, does he have his application in already for a 2008-2009 sophomore level transfer, or is he planning on a 2009-2010 junior level transfer?</p>
<p>i must be missing some info. i thought he was a junior transfer. </p>
<p>his lack of replies is telling me is doesn't really care. or at least not care about this forum. :(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Do you mean by the time of application? Come on, any more and he'll be a double major. lol.</p>
<p>"45 units completed, will have 60 by next fall."</p>
<p>Sorry I haven't clarified..I'm going to have 60 semester units by the end of spring 2008. I will attempting to transfer as a junior for the 2008/2009 year. Thanks for the replies, everyone at my school is saying the same thing tho, it's going to be a very long shot.</p>
<p>how come its a long shot? it looks pretty good? 3.9 with 60 semester units.. i have about the same semester units, maybe a little more. but my gpa is 3.51 civil engineering. i'm the one thats hoping for the best.</p>
<p>dbguy4eva,
Someone was telling me that the economics program at ucla is super competitive. Something about "more qualified students than open seats" kind of thing. I don't know much about how the decision process works though. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>that's UCLA for you! i'm bioengineering there are only about 40 open seats and i dont get priority so we'll see how it goes.</p>
<p>yiks.. good luck to you guys. hopefully our essays will caught their attention?</p>
