FALL 2016 UCLA OFFICIAL TRANSFER THREAD

Based on past years, should we expect Friday at 12:01 am, or sometime during the day? Im hoping the former…

@Mike2011
I like your mentality and I think you have a really good shot!
“Its crazy to think we’re all just waiting in line to be told whether or not we’re “good enough” to give them our money.” It’s amazing and sad lol.

I wish you, alongside all the comm majors in this thread, the best of luck!

What do you think my chances are?

GPA: 3.74 (got one C in Calculus 1)
Major: Business Economics
TAP Certified
Completed IGETC

EC’s:
-Student Government Vice President
-Multiple club officer positions
-Full-time job at a bank and a past internship
-Presented at HTCC conference
-Multiple awards

My essays were good, but not great. What do you think my chances are, given that I got the C in calc?

@scottyanceynv your gpa is way below average for that major. Unfortunately TAP wont really do much here except get you into your alternate major. But people with your credentials have gotten in to Biz Econ. What is your alternate major?

@scottyanceynv Just like Salman said, GPA is lower than the 25% avg of admitted students. TAP is going to help you with the college of letters and science some deal since they’re one of the ones that care more about. You have your EC’s backing you too. Overall, your admission is going to depend on a good deal of different factors for this year that we can’t account for. Given that you’ve completed prereqs, I’d say that chances are still lower based on what we know but not impossible. As long as you’ve had a more upward trend in grades in major courses I’m sure the C should be overlooked as long as it’s the only one. This is all just a matter of what I think just as a heads up so take it with a grain of salt. We’ll hear from UCLA soon so wishing you the best in getting in!

@POTUS2040 Looking at past years, they will come out on a Friday around 5pm PST.

Hey guys, i didn’t wanna bother anyone but it looks like we are doing chances again haha
Can someone please give me their input? I don’t expect to get in very highly, but I’m hoping haha!

GPA: 3.88 - Soon to be 3.91(All A’s and A-'s with a single B in a 2 credit lab)
Units: 42 completed and 19 in progress
Major: Anthropology
Not from California…
School: Top Liberal Arts School
EC: Large range from Slam poetry to training seeing eye dogs to mental health activist
Recommendations: From head of the department, should be pretty good

Also applied to: Northeastern, Pepperdine (Accepted), NYU, UCB, UBC, BU, and USC.

Thanks guys!

@intjer thank you!! congrats to you too!! :smiley: i’m crossing my fingers for both of us! i’m amazed that global studies is a highly competitive major but then again, it feels like every major at ucla is competitive nowadays, haha. and that’s cool!! i got accepted as a global cultures major at uci. i’m dying to give them my SIR but i’m just waiting to hear back from ucla and ucsd just in case i do happen to get into either one :slight_smile:

No more chance posts please stop. It’s seriously so stupid, especially this late in the game. Nobody has much better of an idea on how likely you are to be admitted than you do. Stop looking for refutation/confirmation of what you already suspect and chill out for 5 more days.

Not to be a jerk, but most people use this thread as a source of information pertinent to the general applicant pool, not just one person, and all of the posts asking to be “chanced” just make it very difficult to sift through the noise

Hopefully we’ll all be students together in the fall

chance me please, UCLA is my dream school, and I’m so nervous :((

GPA: 2.85
Major: Eletrical Engineering
IGETC: 5 units short
Prereq: Missing 3
ECs: None

I think my essays were good, do I have shot guys???

Please tell me you aren’t serious. You didn’t complete your IGETC, you didn’t complete your prerequisites, you have a 2.xx GPA, you’re applying to Electrical Engineering… I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s impossible, but yea, it’s almost impossible.

Nothings impossible, just highly unlikely. I’d also say no.

@hdoan24 2. GPA @-) I think you need to work on boosting your GPA and finishing your pre reqs. You might want to look at tag agreements with other UC like UCI.

it was a joke guys :stuck_out_tongue:

4 more days guys

@hdoan24 Phew! That’s good lol

I can tell UCLA applicants don’t really understand sarcasm… Lol. Guys, don’t get me wrong, it’s a big deal, but at the same time, it’s not. Just relax, stay busy, and whatever happens, happens. If it is legit your dream school and you don’t get in, there is next year. If you say, hell no I’m not wasting a year, then you don’t want it bad enough.

Let’s be honest. Pretty much none of us tried our absolute hardest. Otherwise we wouldn’t be on this forum for the most part. I know I sure as hell didn’t. But, if I get accepted, I will take it seriously and try my hardest. I just have horrible study habits, because they don’t exist.
