<p>CCC Transfer Fall 2013</p>

<p>Major: Molecular Biology</p>

<p>Transcripts/GPA:</p>

<p>CCC (De Anza) - 2.62 (All IGETC and Major prereqs are or will be completed)
Major related GPA - 3.4</p>

<p>EC’s:
Volunteer at Dentist Office
Volunteer Lab Technician at a biology laboratory
Worked for 1 summer
Tutor for Physics and Biology
Teachers Assistant for Biology</p>

<p>Pretty solid Personal statement.</p>

<p>I know I have a terrible overall GPA, but I’m hoping my science GPA will somehow make up for it.</p>

524

<p>@kcat where you trying to go? </p>

<p>so far ive only gotten into ucsc, ucsb should be today but im worried about no response from ucsd yet :/</p>

525

<p>@philos24</p>

<p>I would like to be accepted to any UC. I haven’t gotten any yet. As for other colleges, I’ve gotten into SF State and Cal Poly SLO.</p>

<p>Stay hopeful though!</p>

526

<p>@eyespy: I found out that I got in first from the packet in the mail. I didn’t get an email or anything. The packet told me to go online to the myadmissions page to read more information about my acceptance, my financial aid offer, etc.</p>

<p>@iDizzle: Yeah, I know UCSD is an accomplishment in it’s own. I most likely wouldn’t have gone to SLO if I had any UC acceptances, so I’m not sad. I’m just confused. I really though SLO wouldn’t be a problem getting in to.</p>

527

<p>@ eyespy: Sorry I’m not sure. Apparently she was not home and my brother who is taking the quarter off and is at home, texted her about an admission packet in the mail. I just asked her right now though, I’ll let you know.</p>

<p>@ KCATS: Where else did you apply? You may still be in the running for UCR or UCM if you applied.</p>

<p>@ Philos24: Don’t worry too much. The people who heard from UCSD in the first round should be considered very lucky or those who had stellar GPA’s. Last year I waited until the very very end until hearing something from UCSD. I had heard back from UCLA before UCSD. </p>

<p>If this year is anything like last year, UCSD and UCI will be playing a lot of the “carrot-on-a-stick” game again. LOL</p>

528

<p>@iDizzle: I applied to Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, Davis, Irvine, Merced, and Riverside.
I would be happy with any of them.</p>

529

<p>Campuses applied:
UCB, UCD, UCI, UCLA, UCR, UCSD, UCSB, UCSC</p>

<p>Major: Mathematics
Alt: Biology/Physics
GPA: ~3.63 on app
Pre-reqs: only 2 completed
EC: Internship, President of Club at my school, member of a campus involved club</p>

<p>First year transfer applying as a Junior. Have even credits from AP classes and classes taken at CCC while in high school.</p>

<p>Plenty of clubs in HS such as NHS, CSF, SHS. Had two jobs throughout most of HS.
SAT: 1950 </p>

<p>I got into UCR, waiting to hear back from the rest.</p>

<p>I applied as a freshman to all UC’s except for UCM, UCR and UCSC. Got rejected from everyone.</p>

530

<p>I don’t really have a major GPA because my major (math) I’ve completed 1 class and I’m in the process of another one.</p>

531

<p>@ KCATS:Okay good. Good luck to you than! </p>

<p>@bgioan:Math isn’t impacted and your GPA is fairly solid. However, missing prereqs(since there are quite a bit) will make you less competitive for the higher tier UC’s.</p>

532

<p>@iDizzle, that is what I thought however with my specific case I am wondering if UCs will take it into consideration. Keep in mind I am a freshman at my current OOS school however I went to HS in California.</p>

533

<p>@ bgioan: Ohh I see. Hmmm. Well if you are at an OOS school now than you will be considered as an OOS transfer. Being a CA resident will probably only affect your tuition cost. It seems that you may be at a disadvantage but hopefully everything plays out in your favor. Good luck!</p>

534

<p>@iDizzle got my first rejection from UCSB. I will appeal. Yes unfortunately I am at a disadvantage however my stats according to my application are rather very good.</p>

535

<p>Hi everyone I was hoping I could get a last minute chance. I just got an acceptance from UCSD and now I just can’t get my mind off of the other schools I applied too lol.</p>

<p>Applied to:
UCB (psychology)
UCLA (psychology, alt anthropology)
UCSD (accepted as anthropology)
UCI (psychology alt. anthropology)</p>

<p>CCC transfer
UC GPA: 3.71
Major GPA: 4.0
IGETC: Completed
TAG: Yes (UCSD)
Pre-reqs: All completed
EC: Honors program completed, AGS completed, volunteer work with a non-profit organization, have been working at the school’s bookstore since my first semester 20-25 hours a week.</p>

<p>I really want to get into UCLA or Berkeley but I do have a couple of weakpoints. I have 4 W’s on my transcript and on the personal statement I had a hard time on the second prompt, most of my EC are not related to my applied major. These two things have me worried =( any feedback would be much appreciated. Also I noticed the Psych gpa for UCLA last year was an average of 3.82 which has me worried as well. But I did TAP into UCLA so hopefully I can get in as an anthro major. Thanks!</p>

536

<p>@waffles uci definitely in, ucla youre def in for anthro psych is maybe, and ucb is leaning towards in .</p>

<p>@idizzle ugh that sucks lol into ucsc and ucsb atm</p>

537

<p>@ philos24: yeah, just be patient.</p>

<p>On a side note… I’ve stressed this multiple times in this thread for you 2013 hopefuls, that if you have math or English IP during this spring semester, you would be shooting yourself in the foot. I just saw the first casualty on this forum of being in that situation. 3.8ish GPA, rejected from UCSB, had math requirement IP during this semester. Let that be a lesson to the 2014 hopefuls!</p>

538

<p>Hey all. A little feedback would be much appreciated. My app is currently pending at SD, SC, and SB.</p>

<p>Applied to (from my #1 on down): UCSD, UCLA, UCB, UCSC, UCD, UCSB
Intended Major: Neuroscience (pre-med)
Alt Major: Psychobiology
Transferring from: CCC
UC GPA: 3.88
Major GPA: 3.92
Pre-reqs: All done by spring. Bio, gen-chem, o-chem series completed by last summer. Calculus and Physics w/ Phys Calc supplement will be finished by spring quarter.
IGETC: no (only two humanities classes short)
TAGs: no
ECs: President of the Medical Brigades club. VP last year (our founding year). We put on a free mobile medical and dental clinic in Honduras last year, and we are doing it again this year.</p>

<p>I’m a 33 year old returning to college. Around 1999, I began classes at a CC in TX. My high school career was basically a joke. I didn’t care, and my school was happy to push me through the system. So, in CC, I was catching up by taking basic stuff like college algebra, trig, comp, etc. All A’s for about a year, then withdrew several semesters in a row and dropped out. Tried again in 2003 at a state school, and ended up withdrawing a couple of semesters in a row and dropped out again. Let’s just put it this way… I’ve always been able to excel in anything that I’m interested in. The difficulty of the material was never a problem for me… back then, however, I was dealing with some major depression, and I was also seriously turned off by the way the way that most school systems would place heavy emphasis on certain things that I found no value in. It was just my personality back then to reject anything outside of my value system, so naturally it didn’t work out. </p>

<p>Fast forward to 2009, I moved out to San Francisco after working for a while and doing some field organizing for the Obama campaign. My plan was to work for a year until I could gain CA residency, then reenter CC and eventually transfer into the UC system. That’s exactly what I did, and I’ve pretty much killed it here at my CC so far. I’m obviously very involved in my student community in a way which relates nicely to my end game of wanting to go into medicine. As far as I’m concerned, everything I’ve done since the heavy couple of years that followed dropping out of school has been a steady climb in the right direction and a continuous series of redeeming milestones. </p>

<p>Long story short (too late, I know), I am sitting here staring at my pending application status, mind abuzz, and I’m feeling thoroughly apprehensive about the possibility that my past will come back to haunt me. Any thoughts are welcomed.</p>

539

<p>Hey guys, I would like to get some opinion from you guys about my chances of transferring as a junior after one year at community college. I will have about 62 units after spring. I took 19 units in the fall and am taking 19 units now. I was wondering if applying early will hurt me (since i only have 7 grades to show) or help me (since I am taking so many units and did well on my APs in high school)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.86
Major: history
TAP: no
IGETC: All except stats, which is IP
Pre reqs: will complete them this semester (cept at SB, where I have 3/4)
schools: UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB</p>

540

<p>@iDizzle When you say pre-reqs you mean IGETC pre-reqs? I ask because my major is actually English, and though I have the English pre-reqs complete for IGETC, I am missing one for my major and have another currently IP.</p>

<p>My gpa is also on the high-end, so I’m a little discouraged that just missing a class would take me out of the running :/</p>

541

<p>@zomgrad: You’re fine. I meant the IGETC math and English requirement. I always tell people they should concentrate on IGETC first since missing prereqs for your major will not kill you.</p>

542

<p>@novalord2 Apparently I cannot pm with my post count, so if you are reading this, thanks for the feedback and kind reassurance. Much appreciated.</p>
