SFSU transfer to UCI

<p>I'm in a complicated situation, so any advice is greatly appreciated :)</p>

<p>I want to transfer to UCI in the fall of 2013, CCC TAG program is NOT an option at this point.
I'm applying as an economics major. All prerequisites are completes except calculus I and II which I plan to take this fall and next spring if that is possible. I have a 3.5 GPA, one C- in a statistics class for marketing major, my previous major, not applicable for econ major. </p>

<p>I have a lot of volunteer experience, including teaching english in abroad, and extra carricular activites while maintaining a full time job. my HS gpa was a 2.8, I am curious as to if this is important for transfer applicants. </p>

<p>I understand the difficulties of the CSU UC transfer, I was planning on going to USF this fall, but deferred my admissions due to financial reasons. I see that this transfer is a long shot, which is why I'm looking for any pointers that may increase my chances of being admitted. </p>

<p>This is my only option, other that graduating from SFSU, or USF being $150,000 in debt. </p>

<p>I am really hoping I can be admitted into a UC such as UCI or UCSB, I don't think UCLA or Berkeley are anywhere in reach with my current situation.</p>

<p>Any comments will be very helpful. Thanks!</p>

<p>They don’t look at your HS GPA. I don’t know if you have a really high chance of getting in, but it’s definitely high enough to be worth applying! I’d say give it a shot. Again, I really don’t know the stats on CSU transfers, but you seem to be the type of applicant to be almost guaranteed admission at at least one of the UCs-but you’d have to apply to 3-5 of them. So right now you should be asking- is it just UCI/UCSB that I want? Or would I also prefer UCSD, UCD, UCSC over SFSU?</p>

<p>If you got a C- in Stats, how are you going to get an A or B in Calculus I? God forbird, two (I am a math major)? Statistics is very easy. Your HS GPA won’t matter if you’ll be a junior transfer. </p>

<p>Anyways, good luck! I’m sure you’ll get into some UC’s.</p>
