<p>hahaha no problem! Yeah, it’s tough getting a chance when there are so many looking for them, especially when they’re all in one or two threads. I was looking for a chance (either in this thread or the other one) a few weeks ago, and someone helped me out.</p>
<p>Always good to help others out, so I’ll try to keep chancing people if they want. I’m a Psych major lol so I’ll be helping others in various ways in the future, or so I hope. Just let me know on what page and stuff like that. </p>
<p>One of my EC’s was volunteering at the VA medical center. Even though it’s technically not related to history, i spoke in one of my essays about how i discussed history and historical events with the veterans at the VA medical center. My trend has been pretty consistent so there is not an outstanding upward trend with 4.0’s. I appreciate you taking the time to chance me :)</p>
<p>@la4ever09 i don’t know if i’m as optimistic as emil. 3.31 gpa is the average applied last year for history and UCLA got a record amount of application this year. I believe the average admitted GPA was 3.71 . </p>
<p>On the plus side you have TAP but i don’t know if TAP can make up the .4 gpa maybe. The good new is history was a 44% admit last year bad new is it’s impacted. </p>
<p>Major: History
UC GPA: 3.7
Applying to: UCSB, UCSD, UCI, UCLA, USC
Prereqs: completed by Spring
IGETC: completed by Spring
TAG/TAP: none
ECs: volunteered, clubs, etc. the usual
Essay: I think an 7/10, I talked about my financial circumstances, family, volunteer work. I talked about Anthropology as my major, even though I switched to History after I applied.
Other: I am taking 19-22 units in the Spring. I switched my major to History after I applied. My first choice is UCLA, but I am taking most of my major classes, math, and english in the Spring. So I’m worried that because I am taking most of my major and IGETC classes in the Spring, they will not accept me.</p>
<p>Please chance me. My situation is very weird.</p>
<p>So you saved all the difficult classes for last hmm.</p>
<p>i say you have a good shot at all of them you are right at UCLA’s average GPA your essay is kinda weird in the sense you talk about another major.</p>
<p>What UCLA might and probably will do is offer you a provisional acceptance with a near 4.0 gpa requirement in the major pre-req classes</p>
<p>Your situation is seriously weird lol you’re right about that.</p>
<p>Okay well here’s my take on it:</p>
<p>The fact that you don’t already have grades in for math and English definitely hurts your chances. Those are the core courses that they want to see grades in. </p>
<p>I don’t know anything about USC, so I can’t help you there. </p>
<p>I would say you’re in at UCSB, UCSD, and UCI.</p>
<p>UCLA is going to be a reach because of those core courses that you’re in the process of completing. </p>
<p>UCLA could offer you a conditional acceptance, but no one on here has any say on how exactly that will happen if, indeed, it does. Thus, barring a conditional acceptance, I’d say your chances are around 40%. If you get a conditional acceptance, however, you should be good to go as long as you meet those requirements.</p>
<p>I’d say you have a higher chance if it weren’t for those English and math courses you still don’t have grades for. UCLA is all about requirements and GPA. You’re there for GPA. I can’t say you are for IGETC and major requirements.</p>
<p>wow guys thank you for all the feedback. @emilsinclair9 so you think that I could get accepted to UCLA, but there is a 40% chance that they might offer me a conditional acceptance.</p>
<p>Haha thanks saad! I hope so too. If I don’t get in, it’s either Davis or UCSD for me…or maybe UCLA if I get in. I hope you go to wherever you prefer! Wish you all the best man.</p>
<p>You’re above the mean for admitted transfers for UCLA according to their Profile of Admitted Students. I would say that you’re definitely in if you have all the prereqs done. I also think it’s really unique that you received your AA while in high school. That’s extremely cool, and I think admissions departments may find that interesting. So for UCLA in.</p>
<p>I’d also say you’re a lock for UCSD. Last year everybody was admitted with GPA’s 3.0 and above. You should definitely be fine there.</p>
<p>I’m not as familiar with UCB’s political science department, however, I would imagine it’s average transfer GPA is around 3.7, so by that I’d say you’re in. Also, I think your EC’s are solid and your essays sound very relevant to your major. Again, if you have the prereqs done, I would say you’re in.</p>
<p>Also, how old are you? I’m just wondering because you said you received your AA while in high school. That’s awesome. I also took about half of my CCC credits while I was still in high school.</p>
