*Official* 2011 transfer chance!

<p>@deanzatransfer </p>

<p>If your CCC des not offer the classes listed under “pre-reqs” on assist.org UCLA, or any other UC for that matter, will not hold you to them. In other words they do not expect you to go out of your way, to another CCC, and take these classes.</p>

<p>With that said, if another student’s CCC does offer those classes and has a similar GPA UCLA would definitely prefer that student due to their ability to graduate more rapidly after transfer.</p>

<p>All that to say, your chances are good. With a 4.0 and a decent application you should be in.</p>

<p>Tony
What if my Cc has 3 seperate campuses and all in different cities? Would That sill apply if I only attended the one closest to my house?</p>

<p>@Heather</p>

<p>Yes, it should still apply. Just make sure to mention something about wanting to, but not being able to, complete all of your majors pre-reqs on your application. Say something like… this was due to the fact that your CCC did not offer the courses and taking classes at your CCC’s other campuses or even another CCC was not possible due to reasons X and Y. The “additional comments” section of the app is a good place for this.</p>

<p>Oh Thank you!</p>

<p>@lmendoza: yes i have tagged, unfortunately i haven’t met the prereqs for davis cause they look at your current grades, not fall grades. Most likely will be able to raise my GPA to 3.09 at max and 2.97 at the lowest. hopefully they round =3</p>

<p>wrong thread</p>

<p>Applying to: UCSB
Transferring from: CCC
Major: Biopsychology
Alternate Major: Psychology
GPA: 3.07 as of now, will be raised by the end of the semester
Pre-reqs: All except for 2 will be done by the end of the spring, but you are admitted in the pre-major anyway at UCSB, no?
EC’s:Little to none</p>

<p>*My biology sequence will not be completed prior to transfer. This is due to me making a TAG with Davis and the psych class needed for the approved TAG conflicted with the botany class needed for the biology sequence to be completed. </p>

<p>Chances, please?</p>

<p>Applying to: UCB, UCLA</p>

<p>Transferring from: Top university in the United Kingdom</p>

<p>Major: Astrophysics/Physics (still deciding)</p>

<p>EC’s: lots of varied ones, many in high school, am an athlete for my university, work as a supervisor in a bar, volunteer work for charities</p>

<p>PS: haven’t finished it yet, but will be good</p>

<ul>
<li>I am a california resident, applying from an international university</li>
</ul>

<p>-personal (family) reasons prevented me from getting good grades in HS and getting into the UC’s during my freshman application</p>

<ul>
<li>same reasons prevented me from attending a CCC and will explain in my PS</li>
</ul>

<p>-i’m not sure how the UCs will take my application, as I am not your average applicant (ie either from a CCC or just plain international) </p>

<p>chances??? :)</p>

<p>Me please!!! (obnoxious exclamation pts for emphasis of my desperation)</p>

<p>What are my chances at Berkeley or UCLA (my top 2 choices)??</p>

<p>My gpa is kinda low, but if you look at the pattern on my transcript, I have a lot of A’s when I started full time at school but my first couple classes I took were during my sophomore year of high school and I continued to take them through high school and every summer I’ve taken atleast 1 class even till now. The 2 C’s Ive gotten were for my first online class and another during a summer I took too many classes (I explained this in the app). I’ve also taken honors classes for TAP</p>

<p>PLEASE HELP!</p>

<p>Chance me pleaseeee!
Major: History, Alternate- Women’s studies
GPA: 3.4
TAP
Pre reqs- Done for History
IGETC- Will be completed by end of spring
Schools: UCLA, UCSB, UCSD (UCSB and UCSD are TAG)
Upward trend with a 4.0 in last 10 units, but i also have 6 w’s including 2 this semester because of a personal situation. (My dad’s lung cancer returned so i had to drop 2 classes but they don’t affect any requirements and i addressed it on my uc app.</p>

<p>EC: Work part time, volunteer work, captain of high school basketball team in 10th grade and was VP of red cross club.</p>

<p>Also, for women’s studies there is only 1 pre req required. However, each of the four cc’s i attended do not offer an equivalent course, so i will be penalized?</p>

<p>I appreciate any feedback :)</p>

<p>Applying to UCLA (did TAG’s to UCSD and UCD, but UCLA is my number 1 pick) for a Physiological Science Major. (Doing a TAP with UCLA, as a Foothill Community College Honors Student)</p>

<p>Dilemma: I had one F in Cal Poly Pomona and dropped that place but since that F is from History would it impact me? I’m going to try to make that class up in spring of 2011.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Applying To: UCLA - Sociology</p>

<p>Current School: Santa Monica College</p>

<p>GPA: 3.89 (should be about 3.91 by end of fall)</p>

<p>Pre-reqs: I just decided to switch to Sociology from Comm, so I have only Sociology 1 done. I’m taking Stats right now, and need to take Finite in the Spring. I saw on Assist.org that I need to take a Soc 20 class, but I did not see that on the SMC agreement, nor the UCLA agreement on their website.</p>

<p>IGETC will be completed by Spring 2011. No TAP/TAG. AA in Behavioral Sciences</p>

<p>EC: Dean’s Honors list each year and High school stuff</p>

<p>Awards: High school stuff (I heard you can use stuff from then on your app right?)</p>

<p>I’m transferring from a Cali CC, but I will be paying the out-of-state tuition since i’m not a Cali resident. I actually read somewhere <a href=“http://articles.latimes.com/2010/nov/14/local/la-me-uc-recruit-20101115[/url]”>http://articles.latimes.com/2010/nov/14/local/la-me-uc-recruit-20101115&lt;/a&gt; that UC schools are looking for more Out-of-State students to boost their funds. Will this help my chances?</p>

<p>Schools
UCB, UCSB (not worried about this one)</p>

<p>Major
Linguistics</p>

<p>Current School
Not in school; spending the year working as an Au Pair in Marseille France and taking french classes at L’alliance Francaise</p>

<p>GPA/Academic History
64.5 semester units, 3.798 cumulative GPA</p>

<p>Graduated high school early, spent two years at local CCC, currently in France and applying for next semester </p>

<p>Prerequisites
Quantative Reasoning: B
English: B (though I took this in high school and that is marked)
(two of my 3 b’s of course)
Foreign Language: A
My CCC didn’t offer any linguistics courses…</p>

<p>IGETC completed Spring 2010. </p>

<p>EC:
Over 200 hours at local animal shelter and award for working for Wildlife Rescue organisation, volunteered last three years with Food Not Bombs (local chapter of a social activism organisation), worked the last three years at an IT company, 3 years of active participation in CCC dance program, active member of couchsurfing, 10 years of piano lessons, worked as a tutor last year, volunteered saving turtles in mexico for one week last summer, currently living/working/studying in France, plan to take/pass DELF (french proficiency) examinations. Oh i was also awarded the transfer scholarship last year… though as i didn’t transfer I wasn’t able to actually take the money… should I include that?</p>

<p>Essays
Fairly strong. I’ve got some good experiences to write about, and a unique background that really needs explaining. However, living in France the last three months and virtually not using English has destroyed my grammatical skills… I’m hoping my friends/parents proofreading will help that however</p>

<p>So what do you think my chances are for UCB? I forgot to mention that I got into Tulane University and UCSC last year but instead took a year abroad. I know my situation is very unique so its hard to judge whether I’ll get in. My gpa is about at par with the average transfer gpa, but my year off could either look really good or really bad…</p>

<p>Thanks en avance!</p>

<p>Applying to: UCLA, UCB, UCSD
Intended majors, respectively: Cognitive Science (Pre), Cognitive Science, Cognitive Science
(Linguistics minor or joint major if possible)</p>

<p>Current college: Suffolk County Community College (SUNY), @ the crap campus (“Eastern”)
Program of study/major: Liberal Arts (None)</p>

<p>Details: No high school. 2 years CC (not CA).
1st year: would-be senior years of HS, missed out on too much, would have had to stay back; **** that, not fair, opted for Ability To Benefit program (HS diploma/GED equivalent issued by the state after fulfilling ATB course distribution requirements in college).
1st semester: advanced curriculum, straight A’s.
2nd semester: would have been in Honors program, but was convinced by my boyfriend to give it up and take ****ty online courses instead (at SCCC) that still fulfilled the ATB requirements. GPA lowered to 3.4.
This semester (Fall 2010): more general courses because I was thrown into the college thing without proper planning or direction. Taking whatever courses I could fit in a schedule that would continue to fulfill Associates requirements (w/ Honors courses this time).
Mid-semester: began looking into and applying to other schools. Realized my perfect programs of study, and my top choice schools for them (i.e., CogSci & Ling). A little late, & unprepared, of course. Again, not my fault. Can’t explain in so many words but it’s not.</p>

<p>However, I am a machine (so-called). Problems faced:</p>

<p>1) My college does not offer a lot of the courses I need to take in preparation for my major. (In fact, it hardly offers anything at all – just a couple of very basic courses in each area.) UCLA Undergrad Admissions suggested I see about taking courses at other colleges (possibly other SUNY schools, or CUNY) to supplement my prerequisites. I am going to try tomorrow to see if SCCC will permit me to do this, online, over the winter and spring, to more than max out and best prepare.</p>

<p>2) Berkeley’s foreign language requirement. I have not yet taken a foreign language course in college. All through grade school though, I took Spanish every year, since kindergarten. I’ve taken (or been in) Spanish I, II and III in high school, but never was around long enough to complete “3 years” which would fulfill UCB’s FL req. It says on the website that a 2nd semester foreign language course in college, with or without having taken the 1st semester, will fulfill this requirement. If SCCC doesn’t allow me to waive the 1st semester prerequisite, do I have any other options, or should I just withdraw my UCB selection on the app?</p>

<p>3) Calculus… I like math, and I took Precalc my very first semester (last year), but I guess (or would like to think) due to the fact that I was lacking in practice/application/background/preparation (still weak), I somehow just kept failing my tests, even when I thought I had some grasp on it. I withdrew on the very last day, right before class & the final exam. I have no idea how or why I couldn’t get it. Maybe ADD. Either way, prerequisites across the board of undergrad CogSci programs at the UC schools I’m applying to include calculus. Going to discuss my options regarding this setback at the school tomorrow as well… They won’t waive the Precalc requirement (it’s probably personal, probably because I withdrew). What can I do? Maybe I’ll be able to take it online over the winter somewhere else if all that works out… and then I can take calculus in the spring…</p>

<p>I am so overwhelmed and confused and tired. This whole time, throughout this whole process, everyone has been leading me in circles. No one knows **** about ****. It’s freaking me out.</p>

<p>I have no EC’s; jumping into “Honors Club” this semester. Good GPA. So-so courses. About to load up on prerequisites. Decent essays (however they’re measured, who knows). Don’t know how to explain my circumstances. Can’t.</p>

<p>So if I sound a-okay in my personal statements, openly back myself up out of desperation in the additional comments, have a good GPA (hopefully much closer to 4.0 by the end of the year; should have been steadily, 2nd semester ****ed me up), and take on a ridiculous course load between now and the completion of the spring semester – based on those factors, how would you rate my eligibility?</p>

<p>you do realize…that if you want to be chanced you guys should chance each others. lmao</p>

<p>Eh this chance me thing is pretty dumb in general. Like really, a stranger on the internet will be able to tell you whether you’re in or not. I don’t mind the borderline gpa’s trying for middle UC’s, but when people with 3.99 gpa’s with amazing ec’s need chancing, it just gets ridiculous.</p>

<p>well why am I the one who has to get slammed, after all these people get away with it fine. nobody will answer my *<strong><em>ing questions and I actually need answers more than any of you people because I spent half my life in the woods for no reason and got *</em></strong>ed over.</p>
