<p>Woohoo IVC…!</p>
<p>Anyways, I was going to post about how I’m entering this thread late, but then I read the first page and realized I had already posted here. =0</p>
<p>Anyways, my stats are pretty much still the same, except now I’m considering BizEcon at UCSB as a third choice, just because my second choice of UCLA BizEcon is supposedly outside the realm of TAP confidence. =/</p>

From: Mt. SAC
Major: Cal and UCI: Chemistry; UCSD and UCLA: Biochemistry
GPA: 3.76</p>
<p>I’m thinking about applying to UCLA as a poli sci major this fall. I am at a community college in San Diego with a 4.0 but no honors classes. Do I have a good shot? I looked on the UCLA website for transfer information and I have above the median transfer gpa of about 3.6, but I’ve heard political science is a very competitive major at UCLA so thats why I’m posting this question.</p>
<p>Notice on the PoliSci stats area on the UCLA website that the average applicant had a 3.3 GPA. That’s why it’s so competitive - because so many people had to have had less than a 3.3 in order to bring the average down that low. You’re a strong applicant if you maintain that 4.0.</p>
<p>If you have a 4.0, just finish all of your prerequisites and you’re in for sure – don’t even sweat it.</p>
<p>“i have a 4.0 can anyone chance me?”</p>

<p>^ Khan1988, rest assured, you are a strong candidate for all those schools. However, I feel that you are applying to way too many schools. With your GPA you can scratch off UCR and UCSB easily. </p>
<p>That way, you’ll save both money and time.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’d say UCI and UCSD are more of your safety schools.</p>

GPA: 3.2
Major: Political Science
Goal: REALLY interested in getting out of Riverside and into either Berkeley or UCLA</p>
<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I’m really new to this so excuse me if i seem kinda clueless. I was wondering if anyone had any idea on what prereqs i still need to complete in order to transfer out of riverside smoothly. I just started my second year and i still need 2 lit/phil/rlst courses, 2 additional natural sciences and up to the fourth quarter of foreign language. </p>
<p>Also, I took a class (Philosophy) at PCC this past summer and i got a C-. i only got one C during my first quarter and it was a C+, but now this C- makes me think ill have NO CHANCE in getting into Berkeley if i report it. Do you guys have any ideas on what i should do? Should i NOT report it and retake the class next quarter and act like that summer never happened? Or should i be honest and report that nasty grade. Thanks again everyone!</p>

<p>They’ll find out if you don’t report it, and it could cost you your acceptance.</p>
<p>See what I mean about people trying to outright lie on their apps, grey?</p>
<p>You should report the grade. Berkeley doesn’t recommend students to retake a class for a better grade, they will always consider the first attempt in the admissions decision. Attempting to “hide” the grade WILL affect your admissions process.</p>
<p>yeah I see…</p>
<p>If you hide the grade, it is considered fraudulent and they will not only cancel your app, but ban you from future admissions. Yes, one of my friends failed to report another school and was banned forever.</p>

I would apply to other schools as well, but these are the only ones I can find that will let me get up to 60 units during summer 09.</p>
