FALL 2016 UCLA OFFICIAL TRANSFER THREAD

@lindyk8 Yea no kidding!

@solostish Yep big change, I’m pretty nervous. We’ll have to uproot our family (we’ve got 3 kiddos too) to wherever he decides to go. If he chooses Berkeley or LA, considering if he gets in, we’ll do the on campus family housing. Otherwise we’ll probably try renting a house if he chooses San Diego or Davis.

Is anyone else dying to see last year’s admissions stats on UCLA’s page? Wonder what took so long…

@naregian Is it finally up? Can you link it in?

I’ve compared 2013 and 2014’s admission stats, and honestly, they were pretty similar. Minor changes. It’ll be interesting to see the 2015 figures though.

@goldencub, agreed. The wait is annoying. :smiley:

I feel like the psych average GPAs are probably 3.87 by now

@hellwasfull It’s a trip looking at the statistics from 2002!

Hi, can you please chance me? I’m so nervous, UCLA is my dream school but I know how impacted my major is.

great, more people to compete with :confused: esp in Psych !!

Does anyone have any update about the UCLA Admitted Transfer Profile? It still isn’t up. I’ve started to wonder if they’re planning to end it. That seems extremely unlikely, but they are the only UC doing it. Any word?

@lindyk8 I asked the UCLA Undergraduate Admission Transfer Team via preptalk.tv (online chat) when they would release the profile of admitted transfer students for 2015 and they responded by saying " Hello Obed (my name), it should be released within the next couple of months." Im guessing they are going to release it early to mid January after the new deadline for transfer students to submit their applications is up. That’s my theory.

@panorama14, Oh, yeah, you’re right. They will wait until all the transfer numbers are in. My bad. Thx for the update.

@lindyk8 no problem (-:

Very strong personal statement.

I know my gpa has gotten severely low this semester :confused: but I had to face extenuating circumstances and therefore explained it in the additional comments area of the UC app.

Got an email from UCLA saying they received my application, etc. - it seems that they are more endearing to transfers than Berkeley after all.

(but go bears)

Does anyone know if winter grades are factored into our GPA, or is it just fall? I’m on the quarter system btw.

@goldencub UC Davis was the only UC to send me an email wishing me a happy birthday. It will play a key role in my decision as to which school I’ll attend come next year.

Heart skipped a beat when I got the email that UCLA received my application… and it’s not even 2016 quite yet 8-}
