I go to UCSD..and hate it...advice on transfer to UCLA

Transfer Students
1

<p>Ok, so its my first year at UCSD. As a senior in high school, I got into both UCSD and UCLA. The day I was s upposed to send in my SIR, i sent it to UCLA, but tey never received it! Therefore, I owuld have to petition to get back in, I wouldnt be gauranteed housing, blah blah, so I went to UCSD,</p>

<p>Well, I have friends here, but I really regret not going to UCLA. My gpa is horrible (1.9), and I have only been here a year. I know I should give it a chance but I have a feeling that I need to be at LA (mind you, UCSD was my dream school, but last minute my gut told me to go to LA)</p>

<p>So, if I bring my gpa, and have a good sob story (thats how I got into UCLA in the first place cus i had SUCKY SATs and gpa, 1560 and a 3.6 to be exact) what are the odds of transfering and actually getting in?</p>

<p>also, would I have to wait until next year?</p>

<p>Any feed back. And be brutally honest. Thank you!</p>

<p>if you go to a community college, it will boost your chances...at least if you complete 30 units at a cc</p>

<p>yeah but ugh...i will take some classes at a CC...and I have to wait till next year right?</p>

<p>Im just kicking myself for not going. I never DREAMED of getting into UCLA, I even forgot that i applied to it! </p>

<p>but say my gpa is like a 2.5 when i apply and i have a good essay..</p>

<p>what do you think?</p>

<p>ucla's average is a 3.4, and if you have a difficult major, you need to be competitive (meaning, you need a gpa higher than the average)</p>

5

<p>well currently i am bio, but i think im gunna switch to psychology</p>

<p>Both are impacted majors at ucla. The average gpa for biology at ucla is 3.61 and the average gpa for accepted students for psychology is 3.58.</p>

<p>You get priority if you're a community college student. I guess you better have a very very good essay if your gpa is around a 2.5.</p>
