is it all about gpa for transfer?

<p>major: aerospace engineering
applied to: UCLA
gpa: 3.86 (4.0 major)
pre: 1 left to be done in spring
ec: some volunteering works
essay: average</p>

<p>in terms of gpa, i may be competetive, but i dont have good ec or essay.
do i have chance?</p>

<p>for what your doing, I wouldn’t worry about it. BTW Great job!</p>

<p>your gpa is exactly the same as what the average gpa was last year for admitted students in that major but might i remind you that every year it gets more competitive and that the avg admitted gpa goes up a few. but honestly gpa and pre reqs for your major are the main things that ucla looks at…your essay…not really. and you have both the gpa and pre reqs so you have a good chance, but it is ucla so try not to get ur hopes up.</p>

<p>Now the fact that they only admitted 10 students out of 96 is pretty crazy. but honestly your gpa is strong and your Ec’s aren’t as weak as u think since you actually have some and others have nothing. so i would not be too worried but i wouldn’t have the highest hopes either…even though you have a good chance.</p>

<p>you might wanna look at this</p>
