<p>I am trying to transfer and I already applied- i am just wondering if they will auto reject me because i have about 116 semester units. Not all of those are transferable, but in either case i have a lot of units. I went to community college and then to UCLA- and now moved to NY but did not get a chance to finish my degree and was double majoring so I really am not close to a degree either. </p>
<p>So, is there some sort of number of units with which if one applies they get auto rejected. </p>
<p>And overall, what do my chances look like </p>
<p>I have a 3.5 overall GPA
3.42- UCLA gpa
Major: applied math and statistics.</p>
<p>There is no essay or anything on the application so I am assuming this is strictly a numbers game?</p>
<p>How do things like W's on a transcript get factored in? What about F's in non transferable courses?</p>
<p>I am really not familiar with how the SUNY system works clearly because i went the community college to university of CA system and for them things like W's and F's in non transferables do not matter. Also, as there is no essay section how can transfers make themselves stand out with ECs or work experience, or explaining why their transcript might look a bit odd or so on?</p>
<p>Looks like you should be okay if that's where your overall GPA is. There's still going to be a decent chunk of coursework you're going to need for your degree, depending on your major, but if you have that many credits and a 3.4-3.5, you'll be admitted.</p>

<p>Why the hell did you leave UCLA?</p>
<p>Thank you sbuadmissions.</p>
<p>I have another questions for you- i looked through SBs website but couldnt find an answer- what is the most that SB allows students to transfer in? About 60 semester units? or is it more? </p>
<p>TriForces- i left UCLA because of family and financial reasons- i simply couldnt make it on my own financially even with working full time and my grades where not what they could have been either - not that a 3.4 is bad but clearly if i didnt work as much as i did it would have been better.</p>
<p>There's no maximum. Even if you transfer in all 116 credits, it'll just be a matter of completing whatever graduation requirements (gen ed, major, residency requirements). It'll be at least 39 credits, probably more depending on what you have and what your plan of study in.</p>

<p>I have another question - are the BsBa/ Masters programs open to transfer students? What about Honors College? Thanks</p>
<p>Combined programs, yes; contact the department.</p>
<p>Honors College, no. Sometimes they'll allow a sophomore transfer or two, but the Honors College won't benefit a transfer who's as far along as you are. It's really a first-year-based program.</p>

<p>I have more questions - sorry :)</p>
<ol>
<li>When do transfer usually hear about admission decision ? </li>
<li>Can transfers double major within any other major or are some majors closed to transfers? </li>
<li>If accepted, does one get accepted to their specific major or do you have to apply to the major via petition or something after acceptance into the school.</li>
<li>Can general education requirements be waive for those that have an Associates Degree- or is it only for those with Associates Degrees from SUNY schools? </li>
<li>What is the policy regarding second bachelor degrees. To be more specific in the following situation- lets say that I am working on my bachelor at SB but decide to go and finish my bachelor at UCLA (i have the option to return as long as i do not have a degree).. if i complete the degree at UCLA would SB allow me to complete their degree as well? </li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<li> If you're applying for spring, we'll probably start getting decisions out by mid-October.</li>
<li> Everything's open to everyone, but there are some programs (like Computer Science and any of the health science programs) which may require a secondary application.</li>
<li> Depends on the program. See the answer to #2.</li>
<li> Neither. You have to complete Stony Brook's gen-ed requirements (the "DEC"). If you're coming from a SUNY campus with an AA or an AS, you're probably done with most of them, but it's extremely rare that you've done all of them.</li>
<li> That's up to your major department. You'd have to get approval, course by course, from your department in order to finish the degree elsewhere.</li>
