<p>I am a current sophomore at UC Merced, which doesn't have my major. I managed to get a 3.5 gpa for fall semester and again in spring semester for my freshman year. </p>
<p>I am currently a political science major and want to go pre-law.</p>
<p>Would transferring to UCLA benefit me? Do I have a chance with my current gpa? What else is taken into consideration for transfer students?</p>
<p>Any help, would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Obviously.</p>

<p>Not really unless you have some extreme circumstance you didn’t mention here.</p>

<p>3.5 is really not bad for a transfer student. I think you should definitely give it a shot. I know people that transfered from UCR and UCSB with GPA around that range. </p>
<p>UC Merced is on semester? What is it like there?</p>

<p>Yes, I think you have a decent shot with your GPA. I’ve met people that have transferred with a ~3.2 from a CC, c’mon a CC! So give it a try. Write a some good essays explaining why you would like to transfer (i.e. desired major not available, although I didn’t know there was a pre-law major? Is it like the non-existent “pre-med” major?). Good luck.</p>
<p>There is no pre-anything major</p>
<p>UCM is on a semester system just like UCB, and I know I would have to convert my semester units to quarter units (which is no problem). I am close to being done with my GE and am semi-involved in the school. </p>
<p>FireEmblem is right. There is no pre-anything major.
I am currently a political science major at UCM and interested in UCLA School of Law.</p>
<p>I read a stat from another thread (pretty sure it is totally off) but UCLA accepts 43% of UCM transfers? Or, at least did one year?</p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone had any specific RELIABLE stats (or a website with stats) regarding transfer admit percentages for UCLA from other UCs.</p>
<p>Thank you Ektaylor. I realized shortly after my first reply that you gave me the exact information I was looking for.</p>
<p>dude i am a tranfer student from texas with a 3.5 gpa and i got accpeted for the the 2008 fall i think it all depends on who reads ur application and what kind of mood they are in…</p>
<p>community college students get precedence over 4 year transfers 
it’s a lot harder to transfer from a uc or calstate than it is from a community college…</p>
