<p>I'm in a community college right now, hoping to transfer there in 2 years. The thing is, UCLA is 2 minutes away from where I live...How can I use my location to my advantage? </p>
<p>I seriously live so close by that I pass UCLA every day, surely there is something I can do to possibly increase my chances of going there? maybe participate in something they have on campus, etc? </p>
<p>any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks</p>
<p>Nope, there's nothing to do. Just do well at your CC. Honestly, i didn't even have any extra curricular activities before I transferred. I did work almost full time, however. I'm in engineering, BTW.</p>
<p>All that matters is having a high enough GPA and great essays to get accepted. I mean, it's not as crazy as freshmen admissions, right? IIRC, I've met people that transferred with a ~3.2 GPA to L&S and someone that had a ~3.5 GPA for EE. Might need a higher GPA for one of the more competitive majors?</p>
<p>ok thanks!</p>
<p>unforunately im interested in an impacted major...guess i should switch</p>
<p>What major?</p>
<p>communications</p>
