@lindyk8 You really think so? Hopefully. I would assume some majors would want to see more than others, but that’s good to know. I will be applying with a 3.8-4.0 and only worked at a fast food joint my freshman year.
@naregian I hope so too! I currently have a 4.0 but have 0 EC’s. The pre-req’s I have to do are pretty intense courses so I’m afraid that if I try to do something outside of school it would hurt my grades.
A lot of ppl get in without ECs. Good to have but they don’t really appear necessary for transfers, except for Hass.
Just have something you’re doing with your time, if not work. Helping a family member, etc.
anyone else want to do Econ?
@IRANATUCLA I wish I can do Econ, but that means I’ll have a really low chance so I’m still considering )):
@uclabruin96 You can always minor. I’ve heard Econ is brutal at UCLA.
@IRANATUCLA I’ll be applying in the econ major, still debating between biz econ or regular econ though
I’m scared!! everyone is saying it’s hard
@pugzandhugz what do I do? so stressed
Hi guys!
I will be applying as a Math major, 3.67 GPA at end of fall, completed honors program (21/15 units completed), student government (senator and vice president), swim team, waterpolo team, ssccc regional student government work. At california community college.
Do you guys think I have a shot?
Good luck to everyone here!
@swim23 Is that your GPA at this end of last fall or are you assuming it will be at the end of this coming fall?
@naregian this upcoming fall. Right now its a 3.63
@swim23 you seem to be around the average GPA admitted, so you have a shot. The UC’s really don’t care THAT much about EC’s, they seem to care mostly about GPA and then what pre recs you have completed.
@IRANATUCLA I’m stressed about it too, but there’s not much we can do unless we try our best with what time we have left!
I’m planning to apply as Electrical Engineering major. But, I currently have an A- and B in my major courses, and my overall GPA is 3.87. Would I still stand a chance with a B in my major course?
I’m planning to apply as a Cognitive Science major. I just graduated high school but since I can get 90 units by the end of spring next year, I am able to apply for transfer. So far my college GPA is 3.52… I know it’s low compared to the general average, but i wonder what’s the normal GPA for people who are applying for the same major as I am.
@avc118 Average GPA admitted in 2014 was 3.71. Will you have all prerequisites and whatnot completed?

Kind of stressed with deciding between biz econ or econ, gpa by fall will only be 3.85 and that falls short of their average admitted gpa, even though I will be applying as a TAP. I heard that ucla emphasizes much more on GPA than on personal statement and ECs, is that true for impacted majors?
Hey everyone, I was accepted to UCLA for the Fall 2015. I hope I can be of any assistance to those seeking to apply.
@reinare I got in on an appeal. Never give up!!
