<p>how important are ecs for ucla transfer admissions? i mean, i've always heard that UCs are pretty much all about stats. will joining a club or two really make a difference? plus, you've only been at the school for two years, so it's not most people would have really "impressive" leadership positions or anything... </p>
<p>or am i totally wrong about this?</p>
<p>It'll be nice to have a few down, but from what I've seen past years, it's pretty much GPA and major prep.</p>
<p>EC's aren't really important as long as you have good GPA.</p>
<p>I know that having a high gpa is the most impt thing. However, i dont think it will be easy to write the essays without some ecs</p>
<p>For your info, None of my essays have any of my ECs mentioned.
I just wrote why I chose Economics major over everything else (ECs not required), why I want to go to UCLA and what im planning on doing in there (ECs not mentioned again), and the personal development I went through (again, ECs not mentioned).</p>
<p>It's actually better if you can write about your LIFE, not about EC.</p>

<p>Too bad the application even suggests you write about your extracurricular involvement; I guess the UCs are just really fond of reverse psychology :rolleyes:</p>
<p>yeah probably.</p>
<p>I dunno what UCs were thinking~ :)</p>
<p>well i guess the I'll need to rewrite all my essays then.
but rather not.</p>
<p>It's not like the essays will be much of a factor in the admission for kids with my gpa :P</p>
<p>i guess i was trying to say that you shouldn't make the EC the central point of your essay.</p>
<p>While ECs can be a good addition, it's not necessary to revolve your essay around EC. That's just lame.</p>
