ESL grades affect transfer GPA?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello guys,</p>

<p>I am in a community college of California now.</p>

<p>When the first semester, my English skills are bad.</p>

<p>so I got too low grades in my ESL classes. (a lot B and C)</p>

<p>Do they affect my transfer GPA to UC?</p>

<p>My friend said transfer gpa doesn't contain ESL grade,</p>

<p>but I'm not sure yet.</p>

<p>And if I am a resident of CA, and have average GPA about 3.4~3.5 in cc,</p>

<p>Could I get a chance to transfer to UCLA or UCB??</p>

<p>thanks, have a nice day :)</p>

<p>NBreaker, I have "a lot" of ESL friends in my class, I don't see they have any problem at all... in fact, most of them get into Berk and LA. if i were you, I would just try to raise my gpa a little bit, at least above 3.5</p>

<p>thanks yazi.
sure I would try to get better gpa,
but just worried esl grades that I got before.</p>

<p>I got D in my first cc course, which is an esl course. I dun think UCs care about your esl couse as long as you get good grade in your english 1 and 2 courses. </p>

<p>I have a lower gpa than you, but I got in ucla. :D</p>

<p>Well... UCs consider the GPA for all the courses that are transferable. I think some advanced ESL courses are transferable so keep your GPA up for those ones. </p>

<p>As a general rule: ALWAYS try to keep YOUR GPA high no matter what course you are taking. It is better to have an A in any class than not having it and feel sorry later. Just an opinion.</p>

<p>I have a trick to deal with esl course, just non-credit all of them. Then it won't affect gpa at all.</p>

<p>But I was so stupid at my early cc career. I didn't non-credit them. However, loads of people ssaid UCs just dun give about it, cuz there are English 1 and 2 to prove yourself. Just Check out ratemyprofessor.com to choose lenient teacher, it's easy to get A for eng 1 and 2.</p>
