<p>@Playahate- I have essentially the same statistics as you (you have a .01 higher gpa but I did the recomended calc series) and they said 65%. The average GPA of ccc transfer students for political economy at cal is in the 3.6 range and last year 28/51 people who had a gpa of 3.6-3.79 got in to multi/interdisciplinary studies. Hope that helps, I know its not really a chance.</p>
<p>@flatfooted</p>
<p>Not much of a shot at any tbh (sub 10%) 3.3~ gpa was the average for sb/sd/irvine and without calculus that will hurt</p>
<p>SD requires not only cal 1/2 it also needs calc 3</p>
<p>@iZychr: it shouldn’t be impacted, but admission to most engr school is competitive (as they said on Assist), so I’m not sure…</p>
<p>@emil </p>
<p>You should repost in the format most of these are posted in you also didn’t list the applied colleges</p>
<p>Thanks peterr86, you’re right. Well I applied to UCB and UCLA. I have TAG’s everywhere else. The format I posted in was because I felt I had unique and possibly detrimental drawbacks to my application. I described them on Page 10. Nonetheless, I’ll keep it simple here:</p>
<p>3.74 UC GPA.
Major: UCB - Phil UCLA - Psych
IGETC: Already done.
E.C.'s - 120 hours at assisted living center for elderly, 25 hours tutoring kids, 3 part-time jobs.
Norcal resident.
Great upward trend (1.0 < first semester - 4.0 < last semester).
Essays: 8/10.
Prereqs: Done for Cal. 1 IP for UCLA and the rest are done.</p>
<p>i would say 60% chance for Cal</p>
<p>Actually i relook over your post why would you apply psych at ucla your still in but it’s much more competitve than phil 1200 applied last year vs only 300 for phil.</p>
<p>3.7 was average admit for psych so i would say 60% chance</p>
<p>Well actually, I applied to UCLA psychology. I wrote it above, but didn’t specify in words that I had applied to 2 different majors. So, do you think my chances of getting into UCLA are still solid?</p>
<p>Here’s my stats, let me know what think,</p>
<p>UC’s: UCLA, Berkeley, Santa Barbara, San Diego
Major: History (for all schools)
GPA: 4.0 (through 62.5 units) (10.6 units are AP units)
Prereqs: UCLA 4/4. Berkeley 3/4. Santa Barbara 3/5. San Diego 1/2.
IGETC: Already completed.
TAG/TAP: none
EC: 3-year Varsity Baseball Player in HS. Captain of the Speech and Debate Team in HS. I currently work for the Parks and Recreation in my city.
Essay: 8/10
Other: Transferring a year early (one year out of high school) because of AP units and taking night classes when I was a Sophomore, Junior and Senior.</p>
<p>@mdub1491, will all of your prereqs be completed this semester and are in progress? Or will you finish this semester lacking all of those prereqs? </p>
<p>To the first situation: I would say you’re probably in everywhere.
To the latter: In at UCLA, and UCSD. Unsure about SB and Cal. I would say 60% chance for both.</p>
<p>UC’s: Berkeley, UCLA, San Diego
Major: Philosophy
GPA: 3.94… strong upward trend
Units completed: 72 by end of spring
Prereqs: Berkeley (no courses articulated), UCLA (I took the one course my college offers, so 1/4), San Diego (no course articulated)
IGETC: will be completed by end of Spring
TAG/TAP: TAP at UCLA
EC: Part time construction job 25hrs./wk, honors program (completed by Spring)
Essay: 7/10
Other: California resident, I was on academic probation in 2005 at a different cc than the one I am attending now</p>
<p>@D34N</p>
<p>You’re in everywhere!</p>
<p>Though, did you retake all the courses you bad initially (to get you on academic probation)?</p>
<p>@preditcthisflick</p>
<p>… well yea, I did academic renewal and that covered all the poor grades I received back in 2005… I just had a D and an F left over and I retook those courses and got A’s… and at my new cc I have pretty much taken comparable courses for all of the classes I did academic renewal on at my old cc… so, i did academic renewal and i retook comparable courses at a different college…</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback… I’m goin’ crazy waiting around…</p>
<p>anybody else have any different thoughts? feel free to jump in?</p>
<p>much appreciated :-)</p>
<p>D34N we have alot in common. Philosophy majors, we both make extensive use of Academic Renewal lol, and we both have strong upward trends.</p>
<p>Which school would you go to if you were accepted to all of them? Oh and btw I would say you are definitely in everywhere.</p>
<p>I want to go to Cal, but I think I’ll switch to psychology if I go there.</p>
<p>@emilsinclair9</p>
<p>haha… yea that academic renewal is a life saver rt?</p>
<p>yea I wanna go to Cal too… then UCLA and UCSD are kinda tied for second… I also applied to Irvine and Davis, but I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that, haha… </p>
<p>Really though, I would be supper happy to get the chance to go to any of those schools, especially after the poor start I had at community college…</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback… hopefully both of us will be up at Cal in the Fall</p>
