Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>ok guys, been looking at this site for forever, but decided to sign up to ask for some help.</p>

<p>i'm at el camino college in torrance, ca
i have finished 65 units finished
i applied this time around to UCLA,UCSB,UCSD, USC, CAL, SDSU, CSULB
my gpa is ~3.42
and im a business econ/administration major</p>

<p>work experience: co-owner of appliance repair company</p>

<p>and i believe i wrote a strong personal statement</p>

<p>anybody wanna help put me out of my misery and just guesstimate my chances on getting into those schools?</p>

2

<p>Are you TAP.?</p>

3

<p>unfortunately not, but TAG :/</p>

4

<p>In at UCSB, UCSD, SDSU and CSLB.</p>

<p>loller...what does the counseling office at El Camino say about your chances for UCLA? I know a ton of transfers come from Santa Monica CC, so I wouldn't write off your chances for UCLA completely. I would check out the stats for transfers from your school. But I think you should feel confident about your choices. Definately no problems at the CSU's in my opinion.</p>

<p>well, el camino has the best transfer rate to UCLA in Southern California for community colleges. </p>

<p>i believe grey_syntactics is the most accurate so far, as thats what im thinking as well. its too bad UCSD does not offer bus-econ or bus-admin, and only economics. </p>

<p>i hear sdsu has a decent business administration program, i think i would choose this over ucsb.</p>

<p>any thoughts about this ?</p>

<p>honestly, its weak for UCLA and Cal... but id say your good for the others... if you know people in usc you'd get in there no problem</p>

Nope 10char.</p>

<p>theres a lot of string pulling at sc, dont be surprised... reggie bush wanted to go to stanford but didnt have the grades, sc said "we'll take you in a heartbeat"</p>

10

<p>i know several cases where idiots, who dont deserve to go to sc at all, make it there somehow because of the connections they have..... two twins from my ccc, with 3.3s and virtually nothing for ECs with the IQ of a peanut, make it into marshall and viterbi for fall 08. these idiots got major hookups. i know a few other cases as well</p>

<p>ok ok let me rephrase what i said "if you know people in usc it helps a F***ing ridiculous amount, almost too good to be true"</p>

11

<p>well, i dont know anybody that can pull strings for me at usc. my cousin graduated from there but i doubt that will make any difference</p>

12

<p>if you were in my shoes, being a business administration major (for MBA), would you:</p>

<p>A) go to ucsd for the name, but take regular economics and later get MBA
B) go to sdsu for bus-admin program, but settle for a school with a weaker rep</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>krnnoodles: "ok ok let me rephrase what i said "if you know people in usc it helps a F***ing ridiculous amount, almost too good to be true""</p>

<p>when you say know people, do you mean know someone in the admissions office or just had a parent or sibling go there?</p>

14

<p>loller, i would say A, go to ucsd, for undergraduate studies... schools rep is far more important than anything else if youre planning on going on to graduate studies.</p>

<p>Haas = NO. UCLA = Crapshoot. USC = less of a crapshoot, but still a crapshoot.</p>

<p>You are safe with the other schools though.</p>
