Sociology from community college to UCLA? What are my chances?

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am currently attending Community college and wanted to major in Sociology. How competitive is UCLA. Is it hard for me transfer to UCLA if I major in Sociology. I am asking this because Sociology is a easy major and I think a lot of people major this because it's easy.</p>

<p>thanks,</p>

<p>This is such a ridiculous statement. Don’t major in something because it’s easy…if you have this kind of mentality I’m sure it will be quite the contrary for you. I’m a soc major and the course work gets progressively harder. Unfortunately it’s pegged as an easy major because most of the time into or 100 level classes do consist of easy, common sense material. 300 and 400 level courses require much more original thought, research, critical thinking, and the application of statistics. No offence, but maybe you should look into other majors or forgo university altogether if this is your determining factor in your major choice.</p>

I think you misunderstood him. He never said he was majoring in Sociology because it was easy. He said he wants to major in it. He’s just worried about getting into UCLA as a Sociology major.</p>

<p>The good news is that if you are a California resident, the UC system is dedicated to educating you and know you cannot get a 4 yr degree at a comm. college so as a transfer student you are put ahead of out of state students and even student already in another UC.</p>

<p>The bad news is that they will admit you to any UC that they have space for you so be open to the other UCs, not just UCLA so check the boxes of any and all UCs you would be willing to go to.</p>
