<p>I got rejected from UCLA with 4.0 GPA.
from California Community College
Chemical engineering major. </p>
<p>Presq 15/16 by this spring semester.</p>
<p>is missing 1 preq serious problem? </p>
<p>NO WAY....... ................... ****...
My hand is still shaking..</p>
<p>Call admissions and have them go over your app with you to see where you were lacking. Then try to appeal if you left something out.</p>
<p>You might not have fulfilled a core prereq… The core prereq is either that 1 course you’re missing or it was another course that you thought you fulfilled but didn’t. I just realized I did this for Cal (thought I fulfilled a prereq but didn’t) and am likely an auto-reject. </p>
<p>If this isn’t the case, you should appeal.</p>
<p>Holy ****, what a nightmare. I applied with a 4.0 and all the prereqs done for ucla and i got in (I was missing a “recommended” one though). The prereqs for engineering are really tough and demanding…it’s a ton of work to get a 4.0. I didn’t have any ec’s, just dean’s list/president’s list, and my essay was not anything spectacular. Can you call them and post here what they say as to why they rejected you?</p>
<p>What courses did you take? Maybe you were missing more than you think?</p>
<p>Missed class -
One course in computer programming:<br>
FORTRAN, C, C++, or Java
Programming with C++ </p>
<h2>NOTE: C++ is preferred for this major. </h2>
<p>That’s all that I missed.
Any other chemistry, physics, math, english courses are done with all As or inprogress now…</p>
<p>are you an international student or non california resident? That could play a big part in decisions as well.</p>
<p>Is the admission officer available to talk with me tomorrow by phone?
I think they are so busy now… Will they care of me?</p>
<p>Whoops … double post.</p>
<p>@Nowaye - It’s a public school, they have to answer your questions.</p>
<p>Do you know where I can find the phone number to admission office?..
I’m so frustrating… </p>
<p>thank you for replies of you guys anyway.</p>
<p>international student? thats probably the only explanation. Also, maybe you should post your essays or something so people can tell you if they were what held you back.</p>

<p>It happens… Only 14 students were accepted last year for chemE? You have a way better chances applying as an EECS, Civil, or MechE cause way more spots are offered for those majors. I am glad my little brother applied MechE :). I wonder if its easier just to apply for another engineering major then change to ChemE at ucla? Or is that not allowed?</p>
<p>Yes I am international student, though I attend 2 years at CCC and stay in the U.S… So… it messed up my standing?</p>
<p>the admit rate was only 10% and i think being an international student set you back.</p>
<p>itransfer: 14 people got in chemE last yr really? my fd 3.55 got into chemE today
finished all major prereq some B’s on math and one B on ochem (he is a resident)</p>
<p>Dude, I totally know how you feel. But atleast you got turned down from an extremely competitive major. Me? I applied for math (which supposedly has a 40%+ acceptance rate!) with a 4.0 and most prereq’s complete (ALL would have been finished in two weeks!). The only reason I took the computer science class was to improve my chances there…grrr…Granted, I’m an international student in an OOS CC, but STILL! I just…don’t get it!</p>

<p>Yeah. 140 applied. 14 accepted. 10% acceptance rate last year.</p>
<p>nicolles > I’m sorry to hear that. I have no idea what I have to do.</p>
<p>wow but my fd isnt even in TAP program… and almost no ECs
he should be really lucky then</p>
<p>@nowaye…thanks dude. I’ll prolly call them up tomorrow and ask them what went wrong, you should do the same…</p>
