<p>hello. i am a 1st year student at uci. i want to transfer the coming year. i want to know:</p>
<p>1) does my 2nd quarter grades even matter cuz apps are due feb 1st, before the 2nd quarter grades come out?
2) i am not doing anything on campus. with no ECs, would that hurt my chances a lot?
3) what are my chances of getting in w/ a 3.57 GPA?
4) any other info about sophomore transfers cuz i know little.</p>
<p>comments much appreciated....</p>

<li>They will see the classes you've registered for, so yes it does matter.</li>
<li>You will need some ECs to show you've got a life beyond books, so not having any will probably hurt you.</li>
<li>3.57 was the average accepted GPA last year, so I'd think you have a decent chance.</li>
<li>Dunno, but there's a whole PDF booklet you can download from their site that tells you everything you ever needed to know about transferring into USC</li>
</ol>
<p>Best of luck :)</p>
