<p>Hi everyone~ I currently go to SMC, and I wanted to know the chances of out of state applicant to UCLA or UCB. I came all the way from east coast just to go to UCLA because SMC had the highest % to UC transfers.
I am applying to fall so I won't be a cal in state for the next a year and a half! So I was wondering, I am not a california in states student,, but I still have pretty good GPA, and my major is not busi econ or anything TOO competitive lol. Its either history or women studies at SMC.
Please let me know about what you guys think... ;]</p>
<p>You need to provide more information. What is your GPA? History and Women's Studies are two very different majors; the former is impacted and the latter isn't. </p>
<p>Btw, SMC does not have the highest % of transfers to UCLA; it has the highest number of transfers, but that is largely due to the huge number of applicants.</p>
<p>Women studies.</p>
<p>LOL </p>
<p>naw jk. yeah provide more info, you might still have a good chance.
btw, jk_91, I'm pretty sure SMC does have the highest % of transfers to UCLA, not necessarily to UC's. I'm pretty sure you have it backwards. But maybe I'm wrong.</p>
<p>You can check for yourself: UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Transfers from CA Cmty Colls - 08 Fall</p>
<p>Btw, if you care about the numbers, out-of-state students had a 12% admittance rate this year with an average GPA of 3.7.</p>
<p>He goes to SMC... I thought he qualifies as an in-state for admission, but not the tuition.</p>
<p>Although SMC doesn't have the highest percentage, they definitely send the most students to UCLA than any other school. I'm pretty sure that's even more important than the transfer %.</p>
<p>^^ I'm pretty sure he needs to establish California residency first before he's considered an in-state applicant. </p>
<p>Speaking of the large number of applicants from SMC, is there any sort of cutthroat competition there because of this? Maybe some tough curves in some classes?</p>
<p>I think SMC has a large portion because one - it's hella close to UCLA, and two - it has the necessary programs such as TAP. </p>
<p>Because it's hella close, more students are going to be inclined/motivated to go there and therefore take advantage of programs such as TAP. PCC is the same deal as SMC as more people apply and more get accepted. </p>
<p>As for the residency thing, jk_91 is right. He has to establish Cali residency first to be consider a in-state student. It doesnt matter if you go to school here for a year.</p>
<p>MY major is history and minor in women studies bcuz it only has one course to accomplish women studies major its not like "LOL" thing ~ its a serious major just like ne other major at SMC.</p>
<p>my question was about out of state applicant to UCLA not if SMC has the highest transfer rates. thanks anyway</p>
<p>my
GPA so far is 4.0</p>
<p>Will lovablerin have a better chance of acceptance since since she is applying from a ccc? Is UC preference: </p>
<p>resident at ccc > non-resident at ccc > resident at other UC > non-resident at other UC > resident at private school > non-resident at private
or<br>
resident at ccc > resident at other uc > resident at private > non-resident at ccc > non-resident at other uc > non-resident at private?</p>
<p>I guess in less confusing terms my question is whether your resident status is more/less important than the type or school you're applying from.</p>
<p>Also, at what point in the application process is the resident evaluation done? Because there were some frantic posts about a month ago from people who still didn't know their classification even though they'd been admitted to UCLA.</p>
<p>Uggh, confusing.</p>
<p>well i just discovered something totally weird at my cc. maybe it'll apply to him. but basically, it states that if you take a certain amount of units, you can gain residency for the state. so if he takes (i think it's 20 or something), he'll be considered a cali resident. i dont really know how that works considering the fact that it doesnt affect me but maybe he can give it a shot?</p>
<p>and yes, i know you werent talking specifically about high transfer rates. my statement was in response to jk_91 about smc's percentage. </p>
<p>either way, i think you have a great shot cause of the fact that you have a 4.0. 4.0's are really rare and they can give you a legit shot at more "prestigious" schools like ivies and etc. so i dont think residency matters, as long as you keep up a 4.0, do all the courses needed, and you'll be fine (especially for women studies).</p>
