Hello there! The official chance thread told me to post here.

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>AHHHhh! The wait is killing me. We should make a Fall 08 transfer thread soon.</p>

<p>UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCSD</p>

<p>CCC transfer student
IGETC
TAP certified
Korean female</p>

<p>Major: Political Science; eventually double with Math or Stats
GPA: 3.79</p>

<p>Activities:
Involved in 2 clubs
Worked 10 hrs/wk
(yeah, not much...)</p>

<p>Ok essays. I'm no Hemingway.</p>

<p>Be my friend and chance me please? Also, are UCI mathematics comparable to UCLA's?</p>

2

<p>UCSD and UCI: In
UCB and UCLA: Match/Probably in.</p>

<p>I’m not terribly sure about my guess for UCB/UCLA, somebody with more knowledge will probably chime in. Berkeley has a stellar math program, in case you weren’t aware.</p>

3

<p>Good chance at all the schools, but better chances at UCI and UCSD, obviously.</p>

<p>Don’t worry!</p>

4

<p>UCI and UCSD you’re most definitely in and you have a great shot at UCLA and Cal as well. good luck.</p>

5

<p>3.8- sounds about right to me.</p>

<p>“Berkeley has a stellar math program, in case you weren’t aware.” </p>

<p>Berkeley has stellar everything.</p>

<p>There’s already a fall transfer thread
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/384960-uc-transfer-fall-2008-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/384960-uc-transfer-fall-2008-a.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Ah! There it is! Thanks, alansda.</p>

8

<p>Calzone - match
U Claw - In/match
You See Eye - In
UC Sandy Eggo - In</p>

<p>I’m wondering why people sometimes put their race/gender in these threads. I thought that the “importance” of that went down long ago (rightfully so).</p>

<p>Or did I miss something?</p>

10

<p>affirmative action was removed by all UC’s a little while ago but many seem to believe it really hasn’t.</p>

11

<p>Unless she made note of her race through her personal statements or a particular EC suggests one way, race will not be seen by the adcoms. But, many times the holistic review takes into account the qualitative aspects which may be evident in each particular application.</p>

<p>On another note, are you TAP certified for UCB?</p>

12

<p>your in!!! fo sho!!!</p>

13

<p>I didn’t mention my asianness in my essays. I’ve heard different things about the affirmative action rule so I just put it up there for the heck of it.</p>

<p>Poppin3000, that made me chuckle. :)</p>

14

<p>No, i’m not TAP certified for Berkeley. I read somewhere that they are expanding the transfer programm for UCB, but under very stringent standards (low income, first generation, etc.) Not sure about the validity of what I read though.</p>

15

<p>What you read about the Berkeley TAP is true. The program has expanded to around 400 students I believe and it is only for educationally disadvantaged students ( low income, first generation, underrepresented students).
But regardless you will be competitive at all the UC schools.</p>

16

<p>Thanks for clearing that up Thedude44. </p>

<p>Anybody know indepth info about the mathematics departments? I hope most of the professors speak coherent English…</p>

17

<p>The professors do, but from what I hear most computational math courses are taught by TA’s that are Ph.D students… and uh… yea not so good with english.</p>

18

<p>all my math classes are taught by non-students, but i dont know if they’re professors–meaning that they all have ph. d’s.</p>

<p>none of the TA’s can speak English.</p>

19

<p>I see… well most of math is learned from the book and by practicing yourself, so maybe that won’t be a huge issue. Damn those TAs.</p>

<p>haha, i never go to lecture–cant understand a single thing.</p>
