<p>Hi guys. I'm a community college transfer, please advise on my chances.</p>
<p>My stats:</p>
<p>3.65 GPA.
IGETC certified by the end of spring.
Sociology Major.
2 Clubs, Phi Kappa, 1 volunteer.
Just one W.</p>
<p>UCLA - If you have tap its a match, without it reach-match
UCI- Match</p>
<p>is your pre-req going to be done for UCLA? (3classes)</p>
<p>UCI is a match and if you have completed major prerequisites for UCLA then that would also be a match to.</p>
<p>Yes, the prereqs for sociology majors is a sociology class, calc, and statistics. I will have all three of them done by the end of spring.</p>
<p>actually i wanted to add that, i will finish the calculus course in summer 2008. not in spring. i have applied to transfer for fall 2008, so do you think that taking a prereq course in the summer might affect my admission?</p>
<p>It's better to get prereqs done before applying - certainly would help, but if it is a non-impacted major, which I think sociology is - then I see no problem with taking calculus in the summer of '08.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, unless you're great at math I wouldn't take calculus in the summer, as for any hard class. It goes much faster, and you need to be able to grab concepts faster - which is hard for a lot of people in Calculus.</p>
<p>well i already am taking 7 classes in the spring semester, so i have no choice but to take it in summer cuz i dont think i can handle 8 classes.</p>
<p>^^ maybe from those 7 other classes take 2 of those in summer instead and take calc in the spring. for sure i know ucla wants you to finish your prereq by spring instead of summer</p>
<p>subzero- if you don't finish the pre-req by spring your 100% going to get rejected from UCLA.. ( I know because I was soc major last yr and applied)</p>
<p>sociology @ ucla is most definitely impacted.</p>
<p>torrance did you apply again this year? is there a rule where you have to apply to a different major the second time you apply?</p>
<p>yah! i applied for fall 07 and now fall08...
I got rejected by UCLA and Cal and accepted as SD,Irvine..
The main reason that I got rejected was because I didn't finish my pre-req and I was an international student...
Fortunately, I recently got my greencard(permenent resident). Therefore, I am pretty confident! Also, there is no rule for switching majors! I just thought anthro suits me better!</p>
<p>well. i decided that i am going to change to geography major. because i will not be able to finish calculus by spring. i think they'll let me change right? ive heard of others doing it, so im gonna try calling them tomorrow. also change my first personal statement since it was a lot about the sociology major.</p>
<p>I know that you could change your major within certain period(I don't know the exact date) But I don't know if you could change your essay....</p>
<p>Well, the first question on the personal statement was, what is your intended major. And so my essay was mainly about that, and I am pretty sure many other people's were too. So then how can they not allow personal statements changes too if they allow major changes?</p>
<p>And also, you guys didnt tell me about UCI. What if I didnt finish one prereq in my sociology major over there?</p>
<p>i think you are still in even without finishing 1 pre req for uci.</p>
<p>subzero- THat is my opinion/what I heard previously..
Also, I applied to UCI soc major last year and didn't finish 2 pre-req still got in...</p>
<p>bumppppppppp...</p>
<p>just call and ask the campus directly.</p>
