<p>I hear UCLA is very strict on students completing the major requirements before transferring. Has anyone heard of mechanical engineering transfers getting into UCLA without all of their prerequisites completed? </p>
<p>I'll be applying with at least a 3.8 gpa, but missing my last of two general chem courses (1 of 2), as well as my last of three general physics courses (1 of 3). I'm missing 2 classes our of 12 total (9 units out of 50).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>pretty much all transfers are admitted under this circumstance.</p>
<p>You haven’t fulfilled general chem or physics as an *engineering *major?</p>
<p>you will not be accepted to UCLA because A) your prereqs are incomplete and B) your high GPA will be discounted because any monkey can get a 3.8 by taking softball classes at community college, hell look at the average acceptance GPA of communications majors. (no offense)</p>
<p>better look at SD or Davis. Have you completed the prerequisites for Berkeley? (probably not)</p>
<p>a mechanical engineering major who hasn’t taken general physics… what makes you so interested in m.Eng? most of the courses that actually involve the subject require classes like physics…</p>

<p>yea that is pretty bad… No physics. I say no chance at all. You won’t even be able take engineering courses until you take those physics classes anywhere >_>.</p>
<p>I changed my original post. Thanks for pointing out the mistake. And yes, I will have completed the prerequisites for UCB, anonymousername, as they do not require the last of three physics courses, or the last of two chem courses that UCLA does.</p>
<p>I also mentioned in my initial post that I have not completed the last 2 of 5 required physics/chem classes. Every other prerequisite is completed besides those two classes.</p>
<p>I’d like to take something away from your post, but I’m not sure whether you’re basing your opinion on incorrect information or not.</p>
<p>Thanks,
Nukewarm</p>
<h2>EDIT</h2>
<p>It looks like someone else misread my post too. I’ll edit it to clarify my meaning.</p>
<p>changing the original post wasn’t the problem. They won’t even read the rest of your application after they see that you haven’t completed the prereqs. The essay, your EC’s, hell even your GPA doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>You’ll have all the prereqs for Applied Math. With all the courses and with that GPA you have a high chance at it. Of course, it’s not Mechanical Engineering. However, I don’t think you’ll have a good chance for Mechanical Engineering with your current circumstances at UCLA.</p>
<p>what if my school doesn’t offer one of the required class?</p>
