Davis to Berkeley/UCLA?

<p>Hey guys. I was wondering how difficult is it to make that transfer and my major is electrical engineering.</p>

<p>About how high of a GPA should do it?</p>

<p>Do transfer students have a hard time keeping up?</p>

<p>Have you heard of many transfers such as these?</p>

<p>What besides GPA and maybe the essay matters in transfer admissions?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>when people ask me how high of a gpa should you get, i always tell them to aim for 4.0. It will probably be harder for you to transfer to B or LA because you are from another UC, but its not impossible and there are people who have done it. Again just aim for 4.0 because thats the best you can get and you always want to aim for the best.</p>

<p>I am a transfer from CCC and I am taking statistics and accounting at berkeley right now. They are harder as expected but they are not impossible. I don't know if the class is easy or not but I am getting 90 -100% on midterms and quizzes.</p>

<p>AdamantineX, are you an econ major?</p>

<p>EE by itself is a difficult subject so it will be hard no matter where you attend. However, at top engineering schools like UCLA and Cal, you will not only find the subject difficult but also the intense competition for grades.</p>

<p>um lets see if i can bump more outa this</p>

<p>I've actually talked to the Berkeley Transfer Counselor a year ago when I was going to go to UC-Riverside. He said that whether you're from a CC or from a 4-year school or from another UC it doesn't matter. All the applicants are in the same boat. He said it didn't matter where you came from because they rather look at the person you are and your accomplishments.</p>

<p>To sum it all up he was saying, they aren't going to base your transfer admission on your environment because that is unfair, they base it on you and only you. So just work hard and apply and even if you don't get in, Davis is still a great school.</p>

<p>EE at Berkeley is especially difficult to get into, isn't it? Aim for a 4.0.</p>
