<p>Please please give me any feedback on my chances. Thanks.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.95 out of 64 units. No honors.
Major: Sociology
Pre-reqs: 3/5
Igetc: done
Essay: mediocre
EC's- I work in a school 25-30 hrs. a week, volunteered for a bunch of activates. Overall, my EC's are just ok.
It's my third year and my courses haven't been all that challenging.</p>
<p>Thank You So Much :)</p>
<p>Will you complete all your prereqs by Spring? If so, you're in.</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^^^</p>
<p>Most schools may disqualify you just because the major prep courses aren't finished by spring prior to transfer. Sociology is of interest to a large number of students and by not completing the prereqs, you may not get into top schools such as ucla and cal. Even Irvine reports that all entering students for social sciences have major prep courses completed prior to transfer.</p>
<p>If you finish those courses by spring, you're in almost anywhere and will be extremely competitive at ucla and berkeley</p>
<p>Here's the thing about my pre-reqs, I have completed all I can at my current school because they don't have properly articulated classes for my major. But, my counselor told me that it won’t hurt my chances.</p>
<p>So pretty much ignore what I put for my pre-reqs.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>yeah you're in for sure then</p>
<p>ah yeah. then that's not a problem. those prereqs not available will be done after you transfer.</p>
<p>yup. I agree, concur, reaffirm, etc.</p>
<p>thanks guys for all your feedback, you make me feel so much better</p>
<p>yeah right. you already knew you had a good shot. you're some pulling some dhl3</p>
<p>^ Even though I know I have a shot, I still worry constantly about not getting into UCB or UCLA.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry if I were you, you have a good shot..
But of course, who DOESN'T worry about things like that(school admissions).</p>
<p>According to the UCLA site, all of the following prereqs MUST BE COMPLETED by Spring:</p>
<p>one course in introduction to sociology
one course in statistics<br>
one course in finite mathematics or calculus </p>
<p>I dunno how many pre-reqs there are, but try to have these three courses completed.
Now assuming you have these completed, let me analyze the chance.</p>

Considering the fact that UCLA had 3.49 of average admit GPA, you are in WAY WAY WAY high end of the scale.</p>

Major: Sociology.

Although impacted, the actual GPA is not really high. As I mentioned above, the average GPA for the admitted student last year was a 3.49. With your GPA, it'll be a piece of cake.</p>

Pre-reqs: 3/5.

I hope those three you completed are the ones I mentioned above ;)</p>

Essay: mediocre.

With high stat like yours, your essay won't factor terribly much into your admission. As long as you have the right length and didn't totally BS your essay, this won't be any problem.</p>

Believe it or not, employment is among the best ECs you can ever have. It shows that you have a sense of responsibility and knows how to manage your time between school and work. Plus you have volunteering. Trust me, you have an excellent EC. Again, a boosting factor to your admission.</p>
<p>Overall, you have an excellent chance to All of the UCs. just relax and wait for the acceptance letter on May.</p>
<p>Good Luck :)</p>
<p>THANKS dhl3! :)</p>
