Hi so after turning in the UC apps, I’ve been extremely anxious about whether or not I’ll get accepted because I’m a psych major which is extremely competitive at pretty much every UC. My ultimate goal is to get into UCLA and UCI but right now, I’m not so sure that will happen. I am also a one year transfer so I’m not sure how admissions will view that. Some have told me they view it as a positive quality because it shows ambitiousness, others say I will have more against me. I currently have a 3.9 GPA from summer quarter (3 classes) which I expect to go up after this quarter. Also for all the major pre-req classes, I have so far gotten A’s. My biggest concerns right now are that I somehow left out that I am on the Dean’s list on the app (but I will email it to the email for UC app mistakes), I am going to have to complete UCLA’s psych chem pre-req in winter, I never fully explained why I am a one year transfer on the app (I briefly mentioned it in additional comments to explain why I have such a heavy course load), and I have a lot classes to take in Spring and Winter. Can someone possibly just give their thoughts on my chances and if any of the addressed concerns are actually significant or am I just being extremely paranoid. I know the UCLA pre-req concern is probably the biggest concern but a lot of people say having only one to finish in the Spring is okay as long as I have a high GPA.
Extra info on me:
-work two part time jobs
-I think I have okay essays, I know my transfer prompt one is really solid
-my only ec’s is dance, been doing it since I was 4, have some dance awards
-I will also be a student tutor at my CC during winter quarter for stats
-I have a decent amount of volunteer experience
