Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hello, I have a question about my friend who is international student.</p>

<p>I have a friend who got GPA 3.93 and finished Pre-reqs for Bio major at ccc. Even though she didn't take O-chem 2 and any physics class(taking these are strongly recommended, but not required for admission.), with her GPA and completion of pre-reqs and also IGETC, it looked she was very competitive. However, She got rejected from ULCA this year. </p>

<p>I just wondering if there is any disadvantage for international students when they apply to UC from ccc.</p>

<p>It is hard to gauge without knowing any specifics. Did you read her personal statement? Maybe other applicants completed the Organic Chem 2 along with Physics. It might be possible she failed to submit paperwork needed. There are so many variables in the admission process it is hard to pinpoint a certain area.</p>

<p>Looking at the Profile of Admitted Transfer Students for Fall 2010, International Students statistics are as follows:
Applied: 2,553<br>
Admitted: 909
Admit rate: 35.61%<br>

<p>Actually UCLA admitted more International Students than California Residents students this year. 35.61% to 28.59%. I wouldn’t call that a disadvantage.</p>
