)
ECs: Have been working as an internet market ever since I was a junior in high school. I have my own business, and my knowledge is expanding everyday as the web keeps on blooming. Not so much of a club or volunteer type of person so I lacked of the quality in that area. Graduated as second best; so, I guess thats a plus.</p>
<p>I hope they don’t reject me just because I don’t have much community service hours or joined any special clubs :p</p>
<p>@ argothiuz I think you have a good chance to say the least. You shouldn’t be to worried about the lack of ec’s</p>
<p>I’m fairly nervous about UCB:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.93
Major: Poly Econ
EC’s: Internship with ICT, volunteer for police department
Units/Prereqs/IGETC: completed</p>
<p>For some reason I feel like UCB admissions are a bit of a crapshoot, even for qualified applicants!</p>
<p>im pretty worried about ucla & ucb. considering those programs are tops for my major.

<p>@BayAreaTransfer</p>
<p>Ya Berkeley sometimes feel like they are using a ouija board and talking to the spirits to determine whether you get in or not, but I think you have a really good shot.</p>
<p>UC Intercampus Transfer to UCB</p>
<p>GPA: 3.63 (Relatively high for a UC)
Major: Media Studies
EC’s: Two internships, dean’s honors list, officer of communication association, and public speaking awards/experience
Units/Prereqs/IGETC: UC Reciprocity (missing two pre-reqs)</p>
<p>I know that I’m a long shot because of my GPA and missing two pre-reqs. The two pre-reqs I’m missing are not required for my major at my current UC. I know I have good essays and EC’s. I’m crossing my fingers! Thoughts?</p>
<p>@SFwarrior25</p>
<p>I have a feeling you will end up on the right side of the fence, if you catch my drift.</p>
<p>Current School: UC Irvine</p>
<p>Applied Major: Business Economics (UCLA), Business Admin (UCB)</p>
<p>GPA: 3.92, (3.933 including Winter '10 grades)</p>

Currently Participating in SCORE (Counselor’s to America’s Small Business) workshops with certificate upon completion. Dean’s Honor’s list all quarters.

<p>Prereqs: All Done for UCLA. 2 Missing for UCB</p>
<p>Considering UCLA Business Econ is an impacted major, I think I am on the fence. UCB is a longshot considering I’m missing a prereq.</p>

GPA:3.7
finishing a lot of IGETC this semester including Statistics.

Presidents list
transfered in only 1.5 years
work 25hrs per week
Plus other stuff I’m forgetting.
I think because I have had so much relevant and great work experience directly related to my major that I really stand a chance. My grades aren’t the best though so I think it’s pretty much a toss up, really just depends on who I’m up against. I really just can’t picture someone reading my app from their department and not seeing how fantastic I’d be :).</p>
<p>@flick–I don’t want to sound like a downer but that’s my current GPA and I didn’t even think to apply to either schools, it is just not competitive enough.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what UCLA’s acceptance rate is for a Philosophy major, I wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>@Hadrian-you and i look like we’re in the exact same boat! i’m anthro major with 3.95 and all the same things! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!</p>
<p>Flick has good EC’s though, and upward trend. Why would you not apply? Even if you don’t think you will get in, you should have applied.</p>
<p>@AGR1010:</p>
<p>Last year the average admit was 3.49 for (UCLA) Philosophy. I know it’s still a long shot, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to apply…</p>
<p>Yea and I bet you get in while ARG101, who says he has similar stats, is left out simply because he/she didn’t apply. There’s a lesson for you.</p>
<p>Major:Biz-econ(UCLA), Economics(UCB)
GPA: 3.78
TAP: (UCLA=Yes)
EC’s: Internships,work,clubs,honors society, etc
