<p>So far I have got into:</p>

<p>Merced
Santa Cruz
Riverside</p>

<p>My stats are:</p>

<p>POLSC Major
3.0 GPA
TAG to every school I could
Three Classes Towards my major
IGETC Completed
Good Essay</p>

<p>Has anyone heard of anyone with a GPA as low as mine get into UCSD, UCLA, or UCSB?</p>

<p>Anyways just trying to ease my mind, I just want to know if I even have a chance. Thanks! Your opinions are appreciated.</p>

<p>Also out of curiosity, are UCSC and Merced considered easy to get into? (assuming so)</p>

<p>I havn’t heard of anyone with a GPA like that getting into UCLA for sure. I’m not sure about the other two. I think you might have a decent shot depending on your pre req position for each school. And yes, UCSC, Merced AND Riverside are all considered easy to get in to.</p>

<p>i thought tag was a guarantee?</p>

4

<p>^ yup it’s guarantee</p>

<p>@brad87: I have 3.2ish GPA and got accepted by UCSD, don’t worry if you’ve meet the requirements</p>

<p>If you have TAG I’m sure you got into UCSD if you followed everything correctly.</p>

<p>I don’t think UCLA has TAG, I believe they have TAP, Transfer Alliance Program. I don’t know about Berkeley. Also, my friend was accepted to UCLA and UCSB, but not Berkeley with a 3.1x for geography. IGETC completed, all prereqs, no work experience, no TAP, no ec’s and **** essays.</p>

<p>The average GPA for poli sci majors at UCLA last year was a 3.65. But you never know… Good luck, fellow poli sci major!</p>

8

<p>And the average GPA for geography is 3.56 You never really know who they will accept.</p>

<p>brad, your GPA is lower than mine and you got into MERCED, congrats. My concerns is what in the hell is wrong with this school in not accpeting me yet? I got into UCSD, AND UCSB already. This is driving me nuts and very upset as days pass along because I got accepted to say what??? the other schools a long time ago that i can’t even remember. Merced is sleeping and it makes me disappointed</p>

<p>for the longest time, i thought u were joking about really wanting to go to merced. if that is still the case, give it a break - it isnt funny anymore. if it isnt the case, then… why?</p>

11

<p>but they haven’t accepted me yet. I find that really nervewracking you know. I got accepted to the other schools before march 15, which makes me wonder what is wrong with merced? I expected them to be the first one to accept me but it’s taking longer than usual. I am also waiting for ucla, but I know they haven’t made their decisions, and of course occidental. sure hope merced can get serious and either accept or reject me soon.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input everyone, yea I didn’t expect to get into UCLA, if somehow I did…then great, but I rather go to UCSD anyways. I did apply to UCSD with TAG, I have taken every class I can towards my major, and I will be IGETC certified after this semester. So I think I’m good on every avenue besides GPA. Hopefully I get in, I really love San Diego.</p>

<p>@feihtkrad when did you hear from UCSD? Thats good news, that’s what my GPA will likely be after this semester.</p>

<p>@chesserforlife I’m sure you will get in! But hey if you don’t get into Merced, I will trade my admittance for UCSD or UCSB any day :)</p>

<p>Also I forgot to mention that I started a business three years ago, and I’m hoping this influences my admission chances. Does anyone know what kind of pull work experience has? I have a fairly unique work history.</p>

<p>thats cool, i heard a lot of poli sci majors are filthy rich</p>
