<p>I studied for SAT after I came here and scored 2200s. Originally I wanted to apply for some private schools that might have better resources but I donât think I have a shoot for those schools.</p>
<p>@darkhawk08: You look like you are in a good position. However, your intended major, IGETC status, Prereq status is also important to know. Having certain GE requirements uncompleted before the Spring could cost you everything regardless of your GPA. </p>
<p>@ ryanbentley:3.24 should be good for UCR, Cal Poly, SC and SB. However, I donât know if History is impacted at those campuses. Do you know if History is one of those provisional majors? As in âPre-Historyâ where you have to maintain a certain GPA until officialy being able to declare yourself as a History major? I assume that all majors with the âpreâ status are impacted. When I was accepted to UCSB last year I was declared as âPre-Communicationsâ and had to maintain a 3.0 GPA my first quarter had I decided to attend SB. The campuses you applied to unfortunately do not read your personal statement. I wish the best of luck to you!</p>
<p>@ Toxicology: You have a solid chance at those schools.</p>

<p>EC:
All my EC are military related, I was medically retired for injuries sustained while serving. As soon as active duty time ended I started school and have taken as many classes as possible each semester.</p>
<p>@UCBoundVet: Political Science is impacted at UCLA with an accepted avg GPA of 3.7+. However your military service will greatly weigh in your favor and your GPA is not far off anyhow. I have a few friends who transferred to UCLA after the Marine Corps and military service really helps. Did you use Academic Renewal for your previous poor grades? Itâs probably too late now but with Academic Renewal you could have erased those old Fâs and Dâs.</p>
<p>@iDizzle I wish I was able to do something about it but it is too late now. I did not even realize I had transcripts from the first school (10 years ago). After I signed up for this site and started reading posts about people omitting previous transcripts and the possible consequences, I contacted the old school to find out what the damage was. So long story short, I had to notify all the schools I applied to that my GPA was not 3.9+ it was 3.67 (After I replace the Grades that I can).</p>
<p>Civil/Environmental Engineering, ChemE (alternate), and environmental science (alternate)
3.75 cumm GPA (I havenât calculated major GPA so donât ask)
Out of state CC transfer applicant for UCI, UCLA, UCR, and UCSD (and a slew of Cal States as backup)
IGETC complete
Missing pre-reqâs (switched from Architecture major):
Chem, Into to E, Statics, Diff Eq</p>
<p>California Veteran (so Iâm a CA resident)
Mom, first gen citizen, first gen student
Countless volunteer hours is my only EC; there isnât much time for a stay-at-home-parent to do ECâs
I was invited to join our PTK but missed the application deadline (oops)</p>
<p>Iâve heard back from CSUF and CSULB (accepted) and CSULA (not, credit transfer issue).</p>
<p>Iâve also been contacted by UCR about adding additional info to my application. Is that a good thing? Are they seriously considering me?</p>
<p>@ UCBoundVet: Yes, its unfortunate but Iâm sure youâll be alright. When I went back to community college in 2009 I was under the impression that I would be starting off with a âClean slateâ as well. However, no such thing. It was actually by luck and chance(overheard some random people talking about it) that I found out that an existing transcript would affect the current GPA and thatâs when I found out about academic renewal. Because I did not know about it, I ended up taking a class that I had an existing C in a couple years ago but got an A the second time I took it. Technically that would have been considered an âillegalâ retake. Luckily I was never questioned about it or anything by the campuses that accepted me.</p>
<p>@ PurrOnYou: Again, being a veteran helps your chances and a 3.7 is competitive. However, although you are a CA resident, being an OOS transfer does hurt your chances in terms of priority and likely hood of credits transferring to the UC system. But again, with a 3.7gpa and military service you should feel pretty confident, OOS or not.</p>
<p>Thanks iDizzle. I most likely wonât get into UCLA, UCI is a big maybe since I opted for the Bio sequence instead of the Chem sequence to fulfill my science requirement for Arch., and Iâm not sure how competitive the Env. Engineering program at UCSD is, thatâs probably a no. Iâm ok with UCR. All of the reviews Iâve read of their engineering program have had nothing but great things to say about the campus, professors, environment.</p>
<p>@iDizzle thank you so much! as far as I know, those campuses do not have âpre historyâ major; itâs just âhistoryâ. another q for you or anyone else who can answerâŠwould the UCs look at my GPA ending at fall (3.19) or winter (3.24) ? like I said before, I reported my winter session grade before the January 31st TAU deadline.</p>
<p>@HopingToXfer Yeah, I know. When people ask what schools Iâm hoping to be admitted to I talk about UCLA being an âAct of God.â LOLOLOL</p>
<p>UCR and UCI are my top choices. Their family housing (I have 2 kids) is legit in terms of bang for the buck and I donât plan on working while in school. I just canât handle the school-workload plus work with a family.</p>
<p>@ Econlife: You should have a decent chance. UCLAâs avg admitted GPA is a 3.92 so I assume Cal is a bit higher and a bit lower for the other UCâs.</p>
<p>Hi guys,
I wanted to know what you guys think are my chances on transferring to UCLA as a Molecular Cell Developmental Biology major.
Last yearâs average GPA accepted was a 3.67, the average applied was a 3.46 and the average enrolled was a 3.61. </p>
<p>My stats: 3.67 with all prereqs done
IGETC completed
Lots of extracurriculars such as working part time, volunteering, and presenting research. My personal statements I hope were good, they got my message across. </p>
<p>Anyways, what do you think are my chances? Last year 161 people applied and 77 got in, so almost 50%. But my gpa is RIGHT on the average, so Iâm worried. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!</p>
<p>Thanks idizzle. A question for everyone, would you rather have the average admitted gpa for your major and WITHOUT TAP or a slightly lower gpa than the average WITH TAP? which is a better position?</p>

my info is on page 29, thanks in advance!</p>
