<p>CCC transfer for Fall 2013
Applying to: UCSB(tag), UCSC, UCI, UCD, and UCR
Major: Biological sciences
GPA: 3.35
ECs: None after high school.</p>

<p>My major is not as impacted in UCSB as it is in other UC’s. Is there any chance of me getting into UCSB(tag) and UCR?</p>

265

<p>^ Oh, and I have IGETC completed but I’m taking gen chem 1 and 2 for spring and I’ll have prereqs done except for O chem and 1 physics course.</p>

266

<p>Hi everyone!
I applied to UCSD for French Literature and UCLA for French language.
I’m 48 years old and work 60 hours per week.
GPA: 3.82 (including one bad semester 32 years ago)
Major GPA: 4.0 (my GPA for all classes in the last three years)
All pre-requ’s for major completed.
IGETC: yes</p>

<p>If you think my chances are good, can you go one further and tell me what you think my chances are for Regent’s Scholarship? I think I might be dreaming but hey, a girl can dream…</p>

267

<p>@eye you’re definitely in at UCLA and UCSD. You’re way above the average for French language at UCLA and you’re 48 that works 60 hours a week. That’s actually pretty impressive.</p>

<p>@james </p>

<p>UCD: In
UCLA: nope
SDSU: safety
Slo: safety</p>

<p>@ghi<br>
UCSB: If you met all the requirements, you should be in with TAG.
UCSC: Good chance.
UCR: Good chance
UCI: n/a
UCD: slight reach, but who knows.</p>

<p>I’m chancing everyone from page 17 in this post.</p>

<p>@theresistance: Surprised UCSC rejected you. I would say you are a strong match for most, if not all the UCs. The solid grades in your Calculus and past CS classes are a strong positive. Bonus points for having related-ECs. UCSC-UCD-UCI all around 80% accepted.</p>

<p>@NYCALI: Your GPA is not as competitive, but I feel you are a strong match for UCSB. I could give you percentages based on any extracurriculars you listed on your application. </p>

<p>@fuzzyducky22: UCD-to-UCI transfer Never heard of it. Your GPA is strong, as are your ECs, but as you said, UCI does seem to be a crapshoot. I was rejected from UCI with a 3.92 GPA from CC, yet accepted to UCLA and UCB.</p>

<p>@verity: Your GPA is very strong, regardless of having a B or not. However, it seems to me that you do not hold any leadership positions in said clubs, which might be a detriment to you. I would chance you, as a UCB PACS major, at 65%, and UCLA Anthro at 70%.</p>

<p>@mattbryan: Your story, combined with your high GPA, would result in me chancing you between 85%-90% for all UCs. Given that said, I would say 70% chance for UCB (remember, holistic review), 65% chance for UCLA, 80% for UCSD and UCD, and 85% for UCSB.</p>

<p>@zooloo: Upward grade trend is a good thing. Political economy at UCB is not as impacted as regular Economics, and I would chance you at 70% for UCB. 75% for UCSD, and 80% for the other two UCs (remember, UCI is a crapshoot).</p>

<p>@themadman: Congratulations on your acceptance to at least one of your applied schools! Haha, I’d go for 90% accepted at all your UCs except Berkeley (I’d go 80% on this one, since I don’t want to get your hopes up…yet). FYI, I have met Philosophy transfer students with similar statistics to yours. </p>

<p>@Ryenia: I like your story, and it is a well-known fact that EECS is terribly difficult, even at a CC level. I would cautiously chance you at 70% acceptance for UCB, 75% for UCLA, UCSD, and UCSC.</p>

272

<p>I will be chancing everyone from page 18 on this post. </p>

<p>@shmohawk: I would chance you at 50% for UCB, 55% for UCLA, and 75% for UCSB. I have met a lot of English transfers at UCB with 3.7+ GPAs.</p>

<p>@Scienceguy1: I would chance you at 85% for UCB and UCLA, and 90% for UCI, UCSD, and UCSB. Your not finishing IGETC will help your otherwise ideal candidate profile, as will missing CalcII. In addition, you do not have any non-standard ECs. However, your high GPA and perfect major GPA are super-bonuses.</p>

<p>@jamsmjavier: UCLA chance of admittance, IMO, is 75%. UCD is 80%, with 85% SDSU and Cal Poly Slo. </p>

<p>@ghiblijiang: I want to give you a 75%-80% admittance rate for all UCs. If I am not mistaken, your TAG to UCSB will increase this probably by about 5%, so you would be around 85% most-likely-to-recieve-admittance there. </p>

<p>@eyespy: I can guarantee you that you are in 95% in UCLA and UCSD. Non-traditional student, combined with 60 hour workweek, combined with high GPA? You are the ideal transfer student, haha.</p>

<p>@ernestobb25: I will give you an 75% chance for all UCs, and an 80-85% chance for all CSUs. UC’s will not like you not having extracurriculars, but your strong personal statements will hopefully pull you through. CSUs are pure statistics machines, so your GPA should hold strong.</p>

273

<p>Now chancing those from page 19.</p>

<p>@berkeleybio1b: Holy crap. 95% chance in at all schools. Fantastic GPA, fantastic extracurriculars (I want to give a special note to the extended lengths of your EC commitments). Get off CC, and go tan on the beach next to your lifeguarding station, and have a margarita. </p>

<p>@LordyGaga: I honestly can’t give you a solid estimation of admittance as I have with everyone else, but assuming a strong essay, I would chance you at 65% admittance at Berkeley. Your GPA is not as competitive, and your EC’s are not extremely unique (although I do like your tumblr site). The reason I don’t feel I can chance you strongly is because there are no major courses you could have taken, yet you do have TAP. I will definitely be looking forward to hearing if you have been admitted or not (PM me if you are!)</p>

<p>Hope these last posts helped calmed some nerves!</p>

275

<p>I’ll try and chance a few of the science/biology majors on here as that’s where my background is – Molecular Biology transfer accepted at all except Berkeley. If anyone with a relevant major specifically wants me to chance them just repost here or PM me. </p>

<p>@Scienceguy page 18
Unfortunately if all of your units transfer you would be ineligible for admission at several of the UC’s because you transferred to a four year and you’re approaching or will have passed their respective unit caps for transfers from four year universities. Here are the unit caps for the UC’s you mentioned: Berkeley 80 semester units, UCLA 86 units, UCSD 90 units, UCSB 90 units, UCI none. I’d say your chances are as follows UCI 85%, UCSB 80%, UCSD 60%, UCLA 50% (0 if you exceed 86 units), UC Berkeley 0% (20% if some of your units don’t transfer from Rutgers). Your chances for Berkeley would be pretty low as they seem to be very stringent on pre-reqs. I think not finishing o-chem will hurt you. They also discourage four year transfers. You said that you’ll have “86 units by spring” implying that you may not have included units from your spring term. If you finish with more than 90 units AFTER spring and they all transfer from Rutgers you will be ineligible for admission at four of those five schools. UCI being the only one you’d be eligible for admission. If you finish with exactly 86 AFTER spring then I think your chances were as aforementioned. </p>

<p>@Berkeleybio1b:
I have to imagine you’re in everywhere you’ve applied. If you have a 4.0 and complete all your pre-reqs then your chances are pretty good at all the UCs as any specialization of Biology. The average GPA tends to be around a 3.7-3.8 for UCLA and UC Berkeley and having a 4.0 puts you well above that, plus your ECs sound more than sufficient. Congrats. </p>

<p>@ghiblijiang
Assuming you’ve completed all your pre-reqs and you meet the TAG eligibility.
UCSB 100%, TAG is a guarantee IF you meet all the requirements. If you don’t and your TAG is ineligible 50%. I’d say you’re right around the cutoff for UCSB. Your chances would be really good if you were above a 3.4. UCR 90%, UCSC 70%, UCD 60%, UCI 30%. You’re a bit below the average GPA for UCI and they have a holistic review process so having 0 ECs on your application isn’t going to help. At the other UCs you mentioned having no ECs isn’t going to be as significant, but at UCI it will hurt you.
Edit: Actually I just saw your second post. Are you taking BOTH gen chem 1 and gen chem 2 in the same term this spring? If so that probably hurts your chances because that’s an important pre-req and you haven’t even started the series when they’ll be reviewing your application. I’d take off about 10% from each if that’s the case. Most people at least will have completed one chemistry course spring.</p>

276

<p>Yes, I’m taking a gen chem 1 and 2 combined accelerated course for spring because I couldn’t get any chem classes until this semester. I see that UCSB doesn’t guarantee transfer even with TAG for bio majors so I don’t think I’d have 100% chance for UCSB. Also, thanks for everyone who chanced me.</p>

277

<p>If you carefully review the requirements and meet all of them then TAG is a guarantee for admission, hence the name Transfer Admission Guarantee. TAG to UCSB doesn’t guarantee you admission into a particular major, but it does guarantee you admission into the school. So if you meet all the TAG requirements then you will be admitted. If you applied for TAG and you don’t know whether or not you meet the requirements that’s a different story. But if you do TAG correctly then you’re guaranteed admission to that particular UC, that’s the whole point. </p>

<p>According to the UCSB’s website the only majors exempt from TAG are Dance, Music, Theatre and those in the School of Creative Studies. For some of the more competitive majors in the College of L&S and College of Engineering you’re required to finish specific major prep classes to be admitted to the major, regardless of TAG. But you can still be guaranteed admission as undeclared even if you aren’t admitted directly into a specific major.
