Really want to go to UCLA as a Sociology major!! What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a Junior Transfer from a California CC and will have 65 units by Spring 15 before transfer. I am so dead-set on attending UCLA!</p>

<p>GPA: 3.63 </p>

<p>Major: Sociology</p>

<p>Personal Statements: Really persuasive and made many revisions!</p>

<p>IGETC will be completed before transfer.</p>

<p>Major Pre-Reqs are done except for STATS which will be completed in Spring before transfer. (Does this matter? Because the UCLA rep I spoke to said it does not, as long as it is finished before transfer.)</p>

<p>I have a volunteer experience which relates to my major with plenty of hours.</p>

<p>I started out poorly, but my grades show an upward trend.</p>

<p>Did not participate in Honors Program.</p>

<p>Any advice / forewarnings could help! And @Cayton could you answer this if able?</p>

<p>Well, if the UCLA rep says that you just need to complete stats by the end of transfer, then I think you’re good to go with regards to major pre-req completion.</p>

<p>^According to this, average admitted GPA for your major is 3.71. With your GPA, personal statement, and ECs, you seem to be in a good position, but sociology is really impacted. UCLA does holistic admissions, so if you have a strong personal statement(And you probably do if you had it revised and looked over by others) and good ECs, you should be competitive in my opinion. Best of luck. </p>

<p>I wish I could give a more helpful and specific response, but yeah, you seem to be in relatively good shape.</p>
