Transfer Students
1

Hi all,

So I just applied to ucsc by tagging. I would like to know my chances are since they have a minimum UC GPA of 3.0 to become accepted.

GPA 3.5, UC GPA 3.6
-Half Black, Cherokee
-First to go to a 4 year university in my family

  • Volunteer at hospital related to my future career.
    -Belong to honors society at my school

I am also applying to uc merced, berkeley, and davis in the general filing period. What do you all think my chances are?

Thanks

Make your own thread @vbader11. You are hijacking @futureuctransfer 's thread.

@futureuctransfer, I’m assuming you are instate?

Merced, yes. Davis is possible. Not possible for Berkeley because you are a reach.

UC’s can’t use affirmative action to admit, so ethnicity is not considered, but you would be a shoo-in for the privates! Why not consider them?

Are you an enrolled tribal member?

Thanks,

I have considered the private schools and I will apply. There are really great ones in the bay area its just the filing period is after the ucs. Its always good to keep my options open. :slight_smile:

If i get a 3.7/8 my last semester is that still a reach for ucb?

Yes. ^

@futureuctransfer As @Orangered123 said we need to know your major. You would get into some majors, others might be a reach. Everything you are noting - first gen, under-represented minority - are in your favor. Berkeley has a program called TAP, specifically geared to supporting first gen, under-represented ethnicities through the transfer process. It has about an 80-85% transfer rate. Ask your advisor if your CCC has it.

Also, they only look at UC-transferable GPA. Yours is 3.6. Unless you have chosen an outrageously selective major, I believe you stand a good shot at Berkeley.

What is your major?
