GPA perceptions in regard to UCLA

<p>It seems alot of people seem to think having a GPA around 3.3-3.5 makes you questionable for acceptance at UCLA, i really dont think this is the case as ive seen many many people transfer in with lower GPAs, aside from those who applied with impacted majors. I dont it differs too much from CC to CC, but i dont think its that hard to get in with say a 3.3 if your not impacted. Even the counselors have said 3.2 is competitive, including impacted majors.</p>

<p>^
Yep. Talked with my Honor’s Counselor yesterday and she said the same thing. </p>

<p>I don’t think we should worry that much like we are. :X</p>

<p>Many of the people on this board are applying to impacted majors.</p>

<p>Yeah, alot of people are applying for the impacted majors so 3.8-4.0 GPAs are a must have…majors that only 10 people or so apply for are basically guaranteed in …[UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2007](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof07_mjr.htm]UCLA”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof07_mjr.htm)</p>

<p>good lord 3.8-40??? Biology is impacted for sure and i was a biology major last year, while there were a few people in that range, the majority of the people were around 3.4 to 3.6, and they got in, without TAP.</p>

<p>yup my bro got in (if the FA summary is correct) with a 3.45…which I thought was way too low…</p>

<p>^ what is his major?</p>

<p>biochem (his essay kinda suck too…I read it) ><</p>

<p>^ well they do have a 57% admittance rate for that major, which isn’t too shabby</p>

<p>very true…!! </p>

<p>What I’m worried about is Cal…I don’t get how their system works…so many high gpa students get rejected :/</p>

<p>ucb, with cal it’s about the major, as well. i haven’t been able to find stats on admit rates by major for cal. </p>

<p>also, other cards matter (i.e. minority, essay, etc…)</p>

<p>^ Asians are technically a minority… I don’t think it would help being Asian though haha</p>

<p>okay, let me rephrase; minority compared with their current population. they’re looking to diversify the student body. :)</p>

<p>Lol I should have applied as an African Languages Major. Only three people applied and two got in… it would suck to be that third person, hah.</p>
