<p>Hi! I want to transfer into one of the UC's (Berkeley - Business Admin, LA - Business Econ/Economics, San Diego - Business Econ/Management Science, and Irvine - Business Information Management/Business Econ) or one of the Cal States (Cal Poly Pomona - Business Admin Computer Information Systems or Cal State Long Beach - Business Information Management) as a junior transfer student. What do you think are my chances of getting into one of them?</p>
<p>I'm a Korean girl who lived in California all her life. However, I am now going to a university that is out-of-state.
Graduated from a high school that is considered local to Cal State Long Beach.<br>
Was part of Japanese National Honors Society as President in high school.
I was raised by a single mother in a household of 3, including me.
My cumulative GPA is 3.8. Currently taking classes that are going to meet the major requirements for transfer.
With my 5 AP tests and college credits, I can transfer over around 66 credits.
I volunteer as an Adopt-the-Beach volunteer for 3.5 hours a month and as a Boys & Girls Club volunteer worker for 1.5 hours.
I know Korean, Japanese, and English.
For Awards, I received AP Scholar with Distinction, Certificate of Achievement for Japanese Honors Society and Academic Honors, Certificate of Recognition as a Peer Tutor, and the Best Positive Award from my part-time job.<br>
Part of the Dean's List, the Honors Program, and Phi Eta Sigma at my current university.
I am part of the Business Club and am the treasurer and PR Manager for the Outdoor Adventures Club.<br>
I also have 5 jobs to pay my tuition, books, and food costs, along with parts of the loans. </p>
<p>In my application for UC, in the first personal statement, I talked about how my interest changed drastically from Law Enforcement to Business. For the second personal statement, I talked about how I paid off my entire unsubsidized loans from Freshman year by myself in one semester and how it affected me as a person. In the additional comments, I told them that I needed to go back to California to start my treatments for my neck weekly as it would be convenient financially for my family if I were to go to a UC school and that if I went to a UC, then I would be able to study more without having to work so much or at all. I withdrew from two classes that most likely wouldn't transfer over to the UC, but I explained to them that I withdrew from those two classes because they were not part of the GE or Major requirement. I also explained to them the reason why I have a lot of jobs. However, for the most part, I think my personal statements are pretty solid. </p>
<p>Any recommendations as to what I can work on or improve? I wasn't too sure what to give for the stats, so I just put what I have in the actual application. I really hope I can get into one of the schools.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to read all this! </p>
