<p>I have a 3.66 right now, but I am scared it will drop to a 3.53. Hopefully I will get my A's and at least maintain my 3.66. Just in case is a 3.53 really bad?
I'm also transferring from a Community college not a high school. </p>
<p>UC’s calculate their UC GPA based on the a-g courses taken in 10-11th grade. Here is the link:<a href=“GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub”>http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/</a></p>
<p>If you want to get into UCLA, GPA/Test scores/Essays and EC’s all play a part in your chance of an acceptance.</p>
<p>Here are the Stats for Freshman 2014. These are the averages so you want to aim for these or higher:</p>

<p>For transfer applicants intending to major in chemistry, 3.66 is slightly lower than the average for those accepted in Fall '14 (3.69, source: <a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof14_mjr.htm”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof14_mjr.htm</a>). If you can maintain that GPA, do some ECs on the side, and write a strong essay (get people to give you feedback) you should be a competitive applicant. </p>
