Inter-UC Transfer Chance?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Hey guys! So I'm a second year at UC Davis and I was hoping to transfer to UCI. I applied to UCSD and UCLA as well, but I already know thats a long shot, so I'd rather just know my chances at Irvine haha. Also, I listed a couple of things on my application from high school, does anyone know if those help at all? I included being Track Captain for 3 years, Varsity Football for 4 years, Track MVP, Senior Scholar Athlete, graduating Magna Cum Laude, Key Club Treasurer, and an AP Scholar with distinction</p>

<p>•Major: Engineering: Computer Science
•Current GPA: 3.16, GPA shows a growing trend. Still an awful GPA, I know :(
Major pre-reqs: in progress, I just need to take my third Physics class and a programming class
•UC Reciprocity: In progress, should be done by the end of spring.
•ECs: UCD Boxing Club and UCD Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club
•Work + Volunteering Experience</p>

<p>I'm trying to bring my GPA up past 3.2 this quarter, but everything's up in the air at this point. So what do you guys think?</p>

<p>I would say about 0 chance of getting in.</p>

<p>If you were a social science major, i’d say youd have a better chance of getting in. But honestly, uci is unpredictable. You might get in :)</p>

<p>I feel UCSD and UCI are not ridiculous at all. UCLA on the other hand would be quite the miracle if you got in. Then again, nobody really knows with UC-UC transfers. Good luck</p>

<p>Engineering is hard to get into at any school. UCi and UCSD are both mid-tier schools so a good number of people are applying to them. From what I have seen at CC, basically people who get 3.4+ and fall short of UCLAs or UCBs standards TAG into UCI. So they are easier, but only because you can guarantee yourself admission.</p>

<p>With a 3.2, OP is below the standard of even CC students. Also ECs don’t matter as much for transfers, furthermore his aren’t linked to his major.</p>

<p>An extremely low chance for UCI imho…Engineering is quite selective and it’s unlikely that most of your courses will fulfill UCI requirements. UCLA is an impossibility and I don’t know about UCSD…</p>

<p>Ah welp. I feel like the consensus in this thread is that I shouldn’t be expecting much haha. Sucks to suck I suppose. Damn, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to stay at Davis for another 2 years haha</p>

<p>Don’t give up! Do well this quarter bro, you can do it. I personally know someone who transferred last year with a 3.2 from UC Riverside to UCSD, with also an acception to UCI (didn’t get into LA though).</p>

<p>Haha thank you Iozzleface! I won’t man, it aint over till it’s over. I love how this thread is giving me just enough hope to motivate me, but not enough to expect much haha</p>
