<p>Hi.. i just got rejected from UCLA.
my GPA was 3.69 and my major in mechanical engineering.
currently i have decided to go to UCI. I am trying to transfer from the UCI to UCLA for the next semester. I just need some info on how to do that? will it worth it? do I still have any chance?</p>
<p>Considering your GPA . . . are you a current high school student? Yes, you can do UC to UC transfer just as easily as CCC to UC, but it will be harder to maintain a high GPA than if you go to a community college and then transfer. And of course you still have a chance! You might want to call admissions, see where your application was lacking, and appeal if you feel you have evidence of improvement in that area.</p>
<p>ooo SRY…i should have mentioned it…im a transfer student from Pierce college!(2 year)!
So the GPA is my college GPA!</p>
<p>Just curious: How do you have over a 4.0 in college? Interesting.</p>
<p>oo…that was just a typo!! i have 3.69!! sorry about that!</p>
<p>Sorry to hear you didn’t get in! </p>
<p>But…I don’t think it’s such a good idea to jump from UCI to UCLA (actually I’m not even sure that’s possible as a transfer student)</p>
<p>If you are going in as a junior you will only be spending two years at the UC. UCI is a great school, albeit small, but still…a University is what you make of it (cliche yes, but true) </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>ok one more question… ive made some mistakes while submitting my application in UC website. Like i didnt put the right name for some of the courses, so they had’nt been counted as transferable units. I notified them by writing a letter. do you think its possible that they didnt recieved the letter? is there phone number or away that i can contact them to ask about my “reject decision”? do i have a chance if i appeal?</p>
<p>^
Call Admissions (310) 825-3101. They are obligated to tell you why you weren’t accepted. As far as that mistake, that’s not big enough for an appeal.</p>
<p>so…what reasons should i have for appealing? i know its a general question, but a basic answer would be appreciated! and also does UCLA have a reserve program for the rejected students? (i mean if students decided not to go to UCLA for some reason, so they start to accept the rejected students from the reserve program!)</p>
<p>^
No such thing. They know that not everyone they accepted is going to enroll. All in the calculations. </p>
<p>Reasons vary from personal hardship, etc. That’s the most common I’ve seen, and they worked. </p>
<p>My freshman friend got accepted into Cal from an appeal. Her’s involved her hardship of having to work while still in HS because both of her parents were laid off due to the economy and not only that–but they have a new baby, and her father was diagnosed with some terminal illness, therefore her grades creating a downward trend. </p>
<p>Never hurts to try. Good luck.</p>
<p>Alenik, what is more important to you the school or the major? Because Engineering will always be a competitive major, and unless your gpa and stats are impressive, you’ll be competing against every community college transfer(who gets priority)and will have gpas in the 3.7+. Wait a while and look at the stats of other ucla rejects to the major including those of the acceptees.</p>
<p>tanx everybody! i think i will try for appeal! i think i have a reason strong enough! i have a brother who has been diagnosed with mental disabilities/retardation, so i have to studyand help him to do his works. I had to take care of him. is thata strong enough reason for appeal?
amd do you have to go there personally to appeal or you have to write an essay/ a paper to them?
and also i took Eng 102 in summer 09, which many people have said to me it could be the reason because you have to be done with your courses at the end of spring semester! can it be true?!</p>
<p>You write a letter to them. Instructions are on their website. Just remember that the information you want to include in your appeal hasn’t already been mentioned in your original application.</p>
