<p>Transfer: Hoping for either UCSD or UCSB, but I’ll also be applying to UCI, UCLA (w/o TAP), UCB, maybe UCSC</p>
<p>GPA:
Current (most recent classes from this years summer school): 3.57 , Deans List (for what its worth)
Conservative estimate after this Fall semester: 3.50</p>
<p>Major: Mechanical Engineering</p>
<p>IGETC: Will be completed at the end of spring</p>
<p>Prereqs: Will have 1 missing</p>
<p>EC: Continuing 2 year internship at a Fortune 500 company; First year was related to major, second year (aka what im currently doing) is semi-related.</p>
<p>Anonymousity, can you TAG to UCSB for Mech. Eng.? I just saw Mech. Eng at UCSD is an impacted major and UCLA avg. admitted GPA last year was 3.89. I would say UCLA would be a longshot.</p>
<p>@SMCGuy: Are you doing TAP? I think you have a good shot at UCLA, narrow but you can still make it. GPA admitted was 3.56 so if you can get a 4.0 this semester and make your non-traditional background work for you, you would stand a chance.</p>
<p>Transfer: Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8125
Major GPA: 4.0</p>
<p>Major: Political Science</p>
<p>IGETC: Already completed</p>
<p>Prereqs: Everything completed (I took a summer session course at Cal to satisfy a requirement that is not offered at any CCC and got an A)</p>
<p>EC: Pretty weak…</p>
<p>I am concencered about my EC. I’ll try to do something and I hope my essay will stand out… somehow.</p>
<p>@nero: I never read or heard anything about UCSB having mech eng impacted and what not, so I’m assuming you can tag if you meet the requirements. And yeah UCLA is a reach, but better some shot than no shot at all. And it was never really my primary school anyway so I won’t be bummed if I get rejected by them. My primary goals are UCSD and UCSB.</p>
<p>Major: Psychobiology (UCLA), Human Biology (UCSD) or Biology (UCI)</p>
<p>Pre-Requisites: Will complete all pre-requisite classes for all of the majors listed above by Spring 2011 except one physics class</p>
<p>IGETC: Will be completed by Spring 2011</p>
<p>ECs: Decent, but nothing over the top</p>
<p>Essays: Should be pretty good</p>
<p>My Questions:</p>
<p>-Is it a guarantee or lock that I will get into UCLA for Psychobiology? If not, chance me.</p>
<p>-What is the likelyhood that I will be invited to compete for the Regents Scholarship, or other academic scholarships, at any, or all, of the above colleges? </p>
<p>Thank you all in advance for your input and please let me know if you need more information or details in regards to any of the topics above.</p>
<p>@Tony - You’re in. If you maintain your GPA it is very likely that you will be contacted about Regents. As far as other academic scholarships go, I am not completely sure, but there are many merit-based scholarships that LA puts out there. You have to dig a little, too.</p>
<p>One thing, UCLA is strict about having all pre-reqs done by the Spring semester before you transfer. It could cost you your admission so try squeezing that req in somewhere. Is there a reason you can’t finish it by Spring?</p>
<p>Yeah that prerequisite could make or break your chances. If you can get your prerequisites done you’re pretty much guaranteed in but otherwise, it’s hard to say. If you can’t take it because your CC doesn’t offer that class then you will probably be alright.</p>
<p>Here I go:
I want to transfer to: UCB! UCLA is my second choice and I’m tagging UCD or SD I’m still undecided.</p>
<p>Major: History
Cumulative GPA: 4.0
Major GPA: 4.0</p>
<p>Pre-Requisites: I have completed all of my pre-reqs except 1 at UCB as my school has not offered the course in a while, by next spring they should offer it and I should have it completed.</p>
<p>IGETC: All buy my life science is finished in Fall 2010, life science will be done in Spring 2011</p>
<p>ECs:
Habitat for Humanity 1-2 times per month since March
Sporadically volunteer for Democratic Party
Started a club that unfortunately failed as our advisor left
Peace Club (like one meeting a week)</p>
<p>Work:
5 hours per week at an elementary school (March to Present)
25 hours a week last year ending Feb 2010 due to surgery</p>
<p>Essays: I’m a decent writer so I assume they will be of good quality</p>
<p>I’m mostly wondering if b/c I started my ECs so late if that will hurt my chances or not. I was thinking about noting that I couldn’t do them prior due to my heavy workload but then after my surgery it made me re prioritize. Any help to sort this out is much appreciated.</p>
<p>@edelynly and @rikizle: Thank for your replies and input.</p>
<p>My main problems are time and scheduling. So far I have completed all three of the required gen chem classes, one of the 3 required bio classes, calc 1 and 2, the first semester of a two semester sequence in physics and most of IGETC. All in all I have completed 59 units with the 4.0 in tact.</p>
<p>My Schedule:
Fall 2010: O-Chem 1, 2nd of 3 bio classes (genetics/molecular), and Korean 1</p>
<p>Winter 2011: Statistics</p>
<p>Spring 2011: O-Chem 2, 3rd of 3 bio classes, and Communications 1</p>
<p><strong><em>Not completing 2nd of 2 physics classes</em></strong></p>
<p>My Dilemma:</p>
<p>Winter 2011 is what is killing me. If I could take O-Chem 2, the 3rd bio class or the 2nd physics course in the winter I would jump all over the opportunity and this would allow me to complete all of the pre-reqs by time of transfer. The problem is that my CCC does not offer any of those classes during the winter and since they are part of a sequence taking them at another CCC is out of the question.</p>
<p>Let me know your thoughts and thank you again for the input</p>

<p>My #1 choice is Cal, so mainly chance me on that one. And yes, I actually am interested in American Studies as my major, originally it was going to apply under Media Studies but since it is “capped,” I’ll go for my 2nd choice.</p>
<p>Also, I need some tips on the personal statements.</p>
<p>@iceosmunda
based on the informatino u provided above, u basically in for all the UC u mentioned above including UCB and UCLA even with the lack of EC. Just keep ur 4.0. I got in a very competitive major in UCLA and UCB with a GPA 3.9. My advise is make sure u complete ur major pre and keep up ur GPA</p>
<p>@GPAMAN
as i mentioned from the last chancer, you r in as well. well, always aim high! get some decent EC and write a good easy will increase your chance. Good luck</p>
<p>Major: Business Management and Administration Service
Schools: U.C. Irvine, Haas Business School-U.C. Berkeley
GPA: 3.93
Pre-requiste will be completed by spring of the next year before transfer. </p>
<p>E.C.s:
1 Year Student Government-Publicity Committee, Coordinator Position. </p>
<p>Starter of Bulletin Talk (Campus Flier) but paused due to PCC budget crises; thus the next year published in Student Government our own newspaper. [Covered in the Essay]</p>

<p>Planted: 1 additional years of work in Student Government, (Publicity Committee again maybe)
Standard First Aid, CPR/AED Adult Certification.
National Association for Sport and Medicine Certification for Personal Trainer.
Work in 24 Hours Fitness as Personal Trainer (Starting Winter)</p>
<p>Essays: Spent the summer working on ones of UC, revised many times; however, have not been read by anybody else. </p>
<p>haas is REALLY competitive, to the point where waiting to take a major pre req in the spring may hurt your chance of getting admitted. if you can take it this fall, i suggest you do it.</p>
<p>@mytime</p>
<p>not sure if american studies is impacted, but your gpa is better than average so just try to get past that 3.7 mark. writing a killer personal statement would also drastically improve your chances. if your community college’s honors program is part of berkeley’s TAP program, you’re almost a shoe in.</p>
<p>Applying To: UC BERKELEY (1st choice), UCLA</p>
<p>Current School: CCC</p>
<p>GPA: 3.6 (but will hopefully be a 3.7 by the end of this semester.)</p>

MINORS: Maybe Global Poverty and Practice @ CAL and Anthropology @ UCLA</p>
<p>Pre-reqs: Finishing my last one this Fall</p>
<p>IGETC: One left, will finish this Fall.</p>
<p>EC/work experience: leadership counselor for 3 years; manager @ barnes & noble (full-time); worked as a mentor with HS students. (full time, 6 months). volunteer work in Peru for 1 month, lived and work in Bolivia for 8 months (now fluent in Spanish), lived in another underdeveloped country for 4 months, and the list goes on. </p>
<p>Awards/TAP: Outstanding Student in Political Science Award; Dean’s List for 2 semesters; not TAP certified, but was in the TAP program in 2006</p>
<ul>
<li>NOTE: BUT I’ve had academic renewal, and have 12 W’s on my transcript!!! (This is from 2 years ago) I know W’s supposed don’t matter, but my GPA isn’t that great either. I’m retaking 5 courses I got W’s in and may retake more of them next semester. I was already accepted into UCLA back in '07 as a Poli-Sci major, so I’m not too worried about LA. My main concern is getting into CAL.</li>
</ul>
<p>@cherryv - why didnt you go to LA back in 07 then j/w? but if you can write some amazing essays out of those ECs, then i think you have a very good shot at CAL. also, i think you will get into ucla once again. try your hardest for a 4.0 this fall!!</p>
