Four-Year Institution to UCLA Transfer

Hello All!

I’m excited to be considering UCLA as an option. I was recently admitted (which blew my mind). I have some questions…

A. I understand that I needed two English composition classes to transfer successfully. At my current institution, UW, we only need one English composition and two writing courses (which can be composition courses). I have taken one and also taken Business Communications (which counts as a major composition class for the major). I indicated to UCLA in the comments section that I would attempt to sign-up for another English course, but, I wasn’t able to fit in my schedule.
Would taking the one English composition class and the one Business Writing composition class meet the two English composition requirements? I’m scared of getting rescinded for that reason…
PS: I’ve also taken another “composition” course in Ethnic Studies course.

B. I got into my second choice major… I really wanted to get in the Business Economics major, but was offered my second choice which was not competitive. I know that the major I was offered admission to is my primary major and I’m aware that Business Economics is selective and impacted.

I do meet all the requirements for Business Economics and I have completed some Finance/Economics work at UW. I was wondering… is it possible to declare Business Economics as a DOUBLE major on top of the current major I’m admitted to, if I provided the fact that I’ve completed some coursework in Business, Economics, and Finance?

Or is that only acceptable vice-versa?

C. For students at UCLA who are interested in Business, do the clubs/organizations generally help you more? Or does the major play a big role in affecting career aspects?

Also, I’m out-of-state at my current institution and would not mind returning home (California Resident).

Thank you for reading. It was long. I appreciate it so much. Looking forward to (possibly) being a Bruin :slight_smile:

Hi @FragrantGreenTea, your post inspired me and gave me some hope! Thank you. :slight_smile:
I recently finished my freshman year at a university out of state (east coast), but due to various reasons, I would really like to transfer to a UC. I don’t know if I should drop out, attend community college for my sophomore year, and then transfer to a UC, or just stay at my current university and transfer from there… What do you think?
Also, did you attend UW for two years, and then transfer to UCLA? what was yoru major at UW? What is the second choice major you got into at UCLA?
So sorry for the many questions, and if you could give me some tips/advice, that would be very helpful. Thank you!
