How important are High School grades?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>I'm thinking about transfering to UC Berkeley from an out of state 4 year university. My high school grades were terrible in my first two years of High School, but I brought my GPA up to a 3.2 after getting all A's except for 1 B my junior and senior years. </p>

<p>For the sake of being optimistic, let's say I get a 4.0 GPA in college. How much will my High School grades affect my transfer chances?</p>

<p>over 9000%.</p>

<p>very important! you better have had at least a 4.0 for ucb.</p>

<p>As an out of state transfer already coming from a 4 year college, you have a very slim chance of getting into UCB.</p>

<p>California Community College students make up most of the transfer students and get priority. A small percentage come from a CSU campus or another UC campus. Very few international students and a small amount of out of state Community College students.</p>

<p>Look at the transfer student section on [University</a> of California, Berkeley](<a href=“http://www.berkeley.edu%5DUniversity”>http://www.berkeley.edu) and you will see the numbers you are against. Not impossible, just not very likely.</p>

<p>18.4% of out of state transfer applicants were accepted for this fall, compared to 26.8% of in state transfer applicants, so it’s not even close to impossible. I was accepted from an out of state four year university with a 4.0. My impression is that the admission standards are higher for out of state applicants.</p>

<p>As far as I know, if you’re out of state, being at a community college gives you no advantage. It’s probably better to be at a four year university so you can take upper division classes to boost your application.</p>

<p>Your high school grades won’t be considered. They don’t ask for them on the application.</p>

<p>High school grades are irrelevant unless they are for your foreign language requirement. If you took took a single foriegn language course for at least two years (AND PASSED IT WITH Cs or higher) they will ask you for your high school transcript for verification. Other than that, only CCC grades matter!</p>

<p>High school grades don’t matter at all. I had below a 2.0 in hs.</p>

<p>They’re only necessary to include for the UC’s to show that you have graduated and/or have completed your 2-years of foreign language.</p>
