<p>**@bwils2100: Hey! So sorry for replying late! You have a great chance at all of the UC’s except for UCLA. UCLA you have an okay chance just for the fact that they are looking for a 3.3-3.5 for Art History! It would really depend on your EC and your personal statement! :relaxed: But overall, you will get accepted to almost all of the schools! Let me know if you would like me to edit your essay or if you have any additional questions! :relaxed: </p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@MikeT92: Hey Mike! Sorry for replying super late! You have a 70% chance of getting into UCLA. They will probably pick a person who completed 2nd semester of OChem, who has the same stats over you. But, don’t freight, you’re GPA is great! You have a good chance. How is your PS coming along? :relaxed:</p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@Quantam12: Hey Quantam! CS is a very tough major to get into. My friend got in with a 3.8+ and said it was super difficult! :confused: But if you raise up your GPA, and like you said…you have shown a high upward grade trend then you will be fine! It seems like you got your PS reviewed by a CAL rep and you are in Berkeley’s TAP program! That will for sure help! I would say you have a 99.5% chance at UCSD and a 90% at CAL! You will be fine; I promise! Let me know if you have anymore questions! :relaxed:</p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@Orange283: Hey! You’re stats look really good for all the schools. Do you have any work experience for Haas? If you have really good EC for Haas and a great PS you’ll be just fine! &nd yes, I would write down your time in Ecuador and your experiences there. Talk about how you plan on interning for Morgan Stanley! :relaxed: UCLA will be a little bit easier to get into for business econ. :relaxed: Let me know if you have any additional questions! </p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@Cinnabon1234: Hello! You have a really good chance of getting into UCD and UCSD! :relaxed: Try to maintain the 3.7 and you are solid. Pre-reqs that aren’t completed by the end of Spring will hurt your chances, as well as your IGETC. Try to finish them and you will have a good chance. :relaxed: Don’t hesitate to ask any other questions! </p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@Bhargav21: Hey!! I would definitely apply and give it a shot. A 4.0 is a really good GPA. It seems like you want to apply to UCLA/UCB/UCSD. My friend transferred from SJSU → UCSD. It will be harder then a CC applicant → UC but that doesn’t mean you won’t have a chance. Don’t have anyone tell you it’s not possible. She did an amazing job on her PS. Try working on your personal statement and such and you will do just fine! :relaxed: Let me know if you have anymore additional questions! </p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@HopingToXfer: You will be fine getting into either or school. I feel like you will get into both or one or the other. But, you WILL get accepted to one for sure. EC’s look good and the topic of your PS looks like it is going in the right direction! TAG does not lower your chances at non-tag schools. Keep your head up and you’ll do just fine! Let me know if you have any questions!</p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@JulianLee93: Hey! Raise up your GPA to a 3.35-3.5+ and you will be fine for UC → UC transfer. EC’s are looking good which will definitely help out your chances and your PS topics look good as well! :relaxed: Keep it up &nd if you have any questions please contact me! </p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@Arcticstrokes: Hey! I am so sorry to hear about your mom :frowning: and your financial situations. Trust me, I know how it is! I totally respect you for being so strong through your difficult times. I think if you tie in your past experiences and why you want to be a psychology major then that would be a great way to show your passion and who you’ve grown as a person. You’re GPA looks good. You being in TAP, finishing PRE-REQS, and IGETC WILL HELP YOU! I seriously think you will get into UCLA! If not, shame on them! Let me know if you have any additional questions or if you ever need anyone to talk to! :relaxed: </p>

<p>-KC<3</p>

<p>@NanaFiore: Hey! Your stats are amazing! :relaxed: Unfortunetly, you are right…UCLA will not accept you because of pre-reqs. I know that the other UC’s might be a little bit more lenient. You will probably get into UCSB. UCSD & UCI will be a bit of a stretch considering you did not complete the pre-reqs and because psychology is almost impacted everywhere. But, you still have a good chance! I would contact them and ask about not completing pre-reqs! :relaxed: Let me know if you have anymore questions! </p>

<p>Here is my info, please chance me!! Thanks in advance (: </p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/1424407-what-my-chances-transferring-ucla.html#post15112228[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/1424407-what-my-chances-transferring-ucla.html#post15112228&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Hey guys …
I am Mechanical Engineering major from CCC … I am a returning student with 5 years of work experience (never went to college, started job right after high school due to financial constraints and I am a recent immigrant, came to USA about a year ago). Time is a major factor for me and I had to transfer as soon as possible, which’ll take me 3 semesters to complete all my pre-reqs. and had to support my self financially so had a part time job as a Physics lab technician at my community college. This pace and busy scheduling did not allow me to focus 100% on my studies and my GPA suffered, by the end of this Semester I’ll end up with 3.4-3.5. I’ve already applied for admission and hoping to get in UCSB or UCI for Mechanical Engr … Are my stats good enough for transfer to UCI or UCSB ?? … or my GPA is too low for these schools ??</p>

72

<p>@UCBhopeful16 whoops, Sociology major. and sorry for all those stars, don’t really know what happened there</p>

73

<p>Major: Biology
Applying to: UCB, UCLA, UCSD
Applying from: SMC (CCC)
Overall GPA: 3.92 (by Fall 2012)
Major GPA: 4.00</p>

<p>EC’s:

  • hospice volunteer
  • church band singer
  • science tutor at my college
  • no work experience
    (I don’t have much EC done)</p>

<p>Pre-req’s:
-Igetc done by Spring 2013
-All bio pre-reqs done by Spring 2013 except for the second part of Physic with Calculus (but I am planning to take it at different college in Spring since my bio class and the physics class overlap… or is that necessary?)</p>

<p>Additional comment:
I was doing really well in school until this summer and got a D in my first O chem class, currently retaking it and I am pretty sure I am gonna get an A. Also, I withdrew from two courses this semester: Cal 2 and second part of Physics with Cal. I am not sure how UCs are going to look at this… because I have all A’s in my other courses until this summer, and I kinda screwed up the summer and this fall semester :frowning: but my GPA is kinda good considering my major.</p>

<p>Another thing that bothers me is that I have 1 D, 1 F, and 4 Ws
I got an F from my English class when i started college but I retook it and got an A. I didn’t even have to take that class b/c I had AP credit for it. A</p>

<p>Hey everyone! Today is the big day for most of you! Please keep me updated. Good luck :slight_smile:</p>

<p>P.S. Just checked everyone who posted above me who I didn’t get to and checked everyones stats. Looks like everyone will either get into CAL or UCLA or maybe even both :)</p>

<p>@PsychBruin2012…</p>

<p>Thank u soooooooooo very much for chancing me. I got into Berkeley and UCSD. I have last question to u.</p>

<p>i have been admitted to L&S CS for fall 2013, but i have a feeling that a low gpa from Cal will ruin my chances at big name grad schools like Stanford, MIT,Cornell or even at berkeley. And everybody is discouraging me not to go there if i want to get phD from these big name schools because a low GPA from cal might not please the grad schools, even though they know how hard it is.</p>

<p>Do you think it is worth attending cal if i want to go to those grad schools? btw, UCSD is my back up. i think i can manage my studies at UCSD than Berkeley (UCSD is also a difficult schools though). i don’t know what to do.It’s a very hard to reject a school like Berkeley.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot once again :)</p>

77

<p>Hey there, wanted to see if I could get chance’d</p>

<p>Applying to UCLA, UCB, UCSD, UCD, UCI, UCSB</p>

<p>Transfer Method: CCC to UC</p>

<p>Major: Chemical Engineering
Overall GPA: 3.76 (without taking into account A’s in spring)</p>

<p>Pre-reqs: Will be completed by Spring except for Organic Chem, will try to take over the summer</p>

<p>EC: MESA officer, treasurer. Part of SETA. Science department award, English department award. Tutoring for Calculus and Physics. Quite a bit of community service for my CC and the public library, about 300+ hours. Trying to get an internship too.</p>

<p>To clarify, the reason my GPA is so low is because I ended up getting a C in Calculus 1. I basically had an anxiety attack on the final which made my grade drop from an 87.32 to a 72.54. I’ve gotten A’s on everything since then, including Calculus 2 and 3. Also, the C occurred during my second semester of Freshman year. I’m just so bummed out that it took that much of a toll on my grade. I’ve gotten A’s in everything so far, except for one lone B+ in English 2.</p>

<p>If I get all A’s this spring semester, which I probably will, my GPA will rise to a 3.82. Will the UC’s even see it?</p>

<p>What can I do to help alleviate the effect that C had? Can I address it in my application?</p>

78

<p>Are you going to tell the UCs you get anxiety attacks on final exams?</p>
