<p>Not sure, but even if they do it is not a pre-req. My major has 12 pre-reqs so I don’t think I could take another ;)</p>
<p>The class I was referring to at UCLA is specific for psychobio majors and is part of the upper division course work for the major</p>
<p>oh ic. To clarify one more time, Psychology BA is a social science and Psychobiology BS is a health science/pre-med :)</p>
<p>^Yes, exactly. Additionally, some schools also offer Psychology B.A. (social science) and/or Psychology B.S. (health science/premed).</p>
<p>@tonypremed2013, the UC’s that offer psychology as both a BA and BS include UC’s that have medical centers/schools like UCLA, UC Davis, UCSD.</p>
<p>Just a late, but sincere thanks to uclakid and emilsinclair for chancing me. I’d love to pay it forward and chance others as well, but I don’t think I’m in the position to make any credible/substantiated judgments at this point.</p>
<p>When do UCLA decisions come out for transfer students?</p>
<p>@ Pino: I don’t think UCLA ever says, but last year they came out on April 23rd.</p>
<p>@ jp: You’re welcome! 
Any time!</p>
<p>@emilsinclair9, where do Berkeley psych students do their research at? In UCSF Med centers, in medical centers/hospitals? thanks!</p>
<p>@emilsinclair9, the reason why I am asking the question above is because we have a family friend who works at Berkeley as an accountant and he told me that pre-meds do similar volunteer works, internships, and research as students going for a BA in Psych in Berkeley.</p>

<p>these are all my grades that i have turned in from my first semester through my last. I still have one more semester too</p>
<p>@ucla bound what is your overall gpa?</p>
<p>@UCLABOUNDDD</p>
<p>You’ve still got a good shot, depending on your overall GPA (sorry, I’m not going to calculate it), but those three B’s in the middle will hurt you. UCLA and Berkeley love upward trends. If your lower grades were confined to the distant past, with perfection since, you’d have a better chance.</p>
<p>At the same time, they’re B’s, not C’s or D’s. They won’t cause huge damage, but perfection would have helped excuse those 3 C’s and a B in the beginning.</p>
<p>The upward trend thing really helps, from what I understand. It’s better to be a 3.0 with all C’s the first year and all A’s the second, than to have received all B’s for both years. At the same time, if a student had all A’s the first year and all C’s the second, that would hurt him.</p>
<p>EDIT: Just saw your previous post with your GPA and major listed (3.63, Sociology). You’re slightly below the average accepted for that major last year, but certainly within striking distance. Your relatively strong performance more recently will help you a bit.</p>
<p>Now, I don’t mean any insult by this, but your two postings seem a little…sloppy. I’m referring to capitalization, punctuation, grammar, etc. Perhaps you’re just being lazy online (completely understandable!), but I think that sort of thing might affect an application more than we admit. </p>
<p>If your application had those sorts of blemishes, it could be what is the deciding factor. It’s as much a subconscious thing for adcoms as anything–this are likely perfectionists, who see hundreds if not thousands of applications. If I were an application reader, I’d be annoyed by that sort of thing, and it would likely affect my evaluation negatively (though likely not consciously). Just letting you know. :-)</p>

<p>How does this upward trend look?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how UC Berkeley or UCLA review their transfer applicants? ie, review committee? I was told that they review them electronically and individually…but not really sure…just curious.</p>

<p>I believe both now use holistic processes. In the past, there would be separate reviewers for the personal statement, ECs, academics, etc, each of which would be assigned a score. Now each reviewer sees the full application. I don’t know whether or not computers play a role.</p>

<p>There us to be a video that Frontline did that had the cameras rolling during an actual evaluation. I can’t find it, but it was done about 15 years ago, when the world still ran on 56K. </p>
<p>But the one thing about the Frontline clip that really stood out to me was when one evaluator said, “Oh! This person has a 4.0. Well that really stands out.” This stood out because the process appeared more drawn out for the non-4.0 students.</p>
<p>yeah i’d imagine that since then, the process has really changed. that clip you posted showed them reviewing it as if they were in a review committee…i know that now Cal reviews them electronically…either way im glad they look at more than just the 4.0 since we all know there is a lot more to say about an applicant than their GPA. </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Definitely seen it before and love it. Really hope each evaluation is actually this understanding.</p>
