@UCLAme
Admittedly, sociology is very impacted and your GPA is somewhat below the average for admitted students in that field for last year. Itās not at all impossible that youāll get in, but your chances arenāt too good. Hopefully, your personal statement will pull you through; you say it was reviewed by the chair of your sociology department and presumably itās good because of it. Good luck.
Does anyone have more than one C ? I have two Cs from Art history and Eng 2, both not major related, I still have bit higher GPA than average admitted GPA, however, two Cs really make me nervous. Not an impacted major, (Asian Studies)
Looking forward to the 17th! I also think this is the date since its usually released a week before Berkeley and theyāre the 24th this year. I was just wondering if anyone knows about this idea that youāll only get accepted to UCB or UCLA. Does anyone know if thatās true?
Here are my statsā¦
Major: Sociology
TAP: Yes
Location: Los Angeles Pierce College
GPA: 3.95
Essay: 8.5/10
IGETC: Completed
Major Requirements: Completed with all Aās
@NNatanzi , I donāt think itās true. Iāve seen a lot of people that get into both. Iāve also seen people who only get into one, but the UCs donāt talk to other UCs about admissions decisions.
^Obviously thatās ridiculous. Im tired of people spreading misinformation, claiming they know ātrendsā or they know this trick or youāll get in because of this. Just wait for decisions to come out, its that simple.
Major: Biochemistry Alt: Chemistry
TAP: no
CC: Pasadena City College
GPA: 3.844
Essay: 7/10
IGETC: Completed
Major Req: Chemistry: up to Ochem all Aās
Biology: 2 Bās and genetics IP
Physics: started engineering series with 1A and other class in progress. In summer, will finish the life science major Physics( School waived the first part for me because of the engineering classes being harder)
Calculus: AP Calc BC with a 5, and multivariable with A
EC: Church youth and kids leader( Fridays and Sundays), President of Chemistry Club at school, Private Tutor once a week, Research at school( program partnered with Cal Tech)
Applied: UCLA, UCB, UCSD, UCI
Pending for all.
Also, have a question on changing major and double major. If I get in, I was thinking I may change my major to psychobiology, because Iām interested in psychology. Itās not that I dont like biochem anymore, but since im considering double majoring in Economics and Psychobiology. I feel like Biochemistry is too vigorous, esp. since my next goal would be Medical school. Please give some advice as to if I can change major if I get in as a biochem major and also how likely will they let double major in Econ. Thanks!
@81Mamba yes that was the link that I was referring to. @lindyk8 thats good to hear, thanks for letting us know. @Cayton thank you for your honest assessment, I hope they find favor in my holistic stats!
Also @Cayton or anyone here, does the message from CAL sound like a formality asking for my Academic Renewal grades or does it look slightly promising? (I received the message on 3/21)
Ugh so sorry to add onto this but Iām paranoid as all heck.
Anthro BA Major
3.68 GPA (attended SFSU for first year and then CC for next two)
IGETC: Done
Pre-reqs: Missing linguistics because my CC doesnāt offer it.
EC: I work a lot. President of SFSUās Club TaeKwonDo
I had 4 Wās because I had to drop a semester to work full-time so we didnāt lose our home. I wrote about this in my personal statement and also my additional comments.
Essays: Pretty solid, methinks.
How do you guys think I fare? Iām a long time creep of this thread but I canāt take it anymore and need to post because you guys know your stuff!
PS - might explode before the 17th, if that does end up being the day.
@kevinrayjon I definitely think youāll be accepted! You are way above the average accepted gpa for biochem and you have all the prerequisites completed. I am also applying biochem/chem, but I have a lower gpa and missing one prerequisite (calc 3). I do, however have TAP on my side which I hope will help. Anyway, you should get in!!
Has anyone else heard of people being accepted? I was talking to classmate and she said that she has been accepted (Bus Econ), and she said that a few of her friends were already admitted to UCLA. Sheās an international student if that changes anything.
@giraffinyoucrazy Iām an international student too, and most of my friends are international and I didnāt see any accepted intl. students yet, I just checked mine after read your post and there is no change.
