HELP! I decided this morning to apply as a transfer!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I know this is probably crazy, but I've decided today to apply as a transfer to Davis, Berkeley, and UCLA as a Political Science major.</p>

<p>I'm a sophomore at Wellesley College. My GPA:
Fall 08: 3.33
Spring 09: 3.55
Overall: 3.44 (should stay around there)</p>

<p>I know that's low in comparison, but Wellesley has major grade deflation, so it's a pretty good GPA.</p>

<p>QUESTION 1: Will the UC's know anything about Wellesley? Should I mention somewhere about the deflation?</p>

<p>QUESTION 2: I got pretty good SAT scores (2310), but I know you don't submit these. Should I include them in the "extra info" section at the end of the essays, or would that be stupid?</p>

<p>QUESTION 3: Do I even have a chance at getting in?</p>

<p>PLEASE HELP ME! Even if you can only answer one question or half a question.</p>

<p>I should also mention I’m a CA resident.</p>

<li>Do transfer apps require transcripts to be sent immediately? Usually on your transcript, there will be an explanation on how grading works at your school and if the registrar considers your grading system to be particularly tough, they’ll explain why. That might make up for some GPA disadvantage at some schools.</li>
</ol>

<p>You’ll won’t have priority coming from a four-year out of state school, but it can’t hurt to try. Just wondering, why do want to leave Wellesley?</p>
