<p>Hey guys, I am going to UC Santa Cruz and want to transfer to either UCLA or Berkeley. What kind of grades/GPA should i achieve, and how should i plan out my path to transferring. I am planning on majoring in Business Management/Economics.</p>
<p>As you may know, CC transfers have an advantage over UC (31.82% acceptance rate vs a 6.58% acceptance rate). Considering the average admitted GPA for Business Econ at UCLA was 3.94, I’d recommend getting a 4.0 during all quarters.</p>
<p>If you’re going to try to transfer to UCLA from UCSC for Business Econ, basically get a 4.0 at UCSC, finish all your pre-reqs, get involved on-campus, and also look for an economics-related internship. Even after all of this, you still might not get in.
A 3.8 might work for Cal, but you don’t want to risk it. Otherwise follow all the stuff I wrote for UCLA and also write a great essay.</p>
<p>send you a PM MidnightGolfer.</p>
<p>Really surprised that UCLA is tougher to transfer into than Cal when Cal is generally ranked higher in the business department.</p>
<p>^
I think it’s because UCLA receives more applicants overall, so they are able to be a bit more picky than Cal in their selection.</p>
<p>Business department and economics are different. Cal rarely accepts UC-UC transfers for it’s business department (Haas), while they accept a lot more for their econ department. </p>
<p>UCLA doesn’t have an undergraduate business department, so most people just try to transfer to either business econ or regular econ. Business econ is very selective, but I’ve heard of more cases of UC-UC transfers getting into UCLA’s bus econ compared to Cal’s Haas.</p>
<p>Midnight Golfer, UCI allows students to withdraw for one or more quarters. You have to reapply to get back in, but I’m sure people take time off and don’t necessarily attend every sequential quarter. The pre-recs are going to be difficult to fill. UCI really has a lot (seems like more than any other school). I have some of them done, and I could probably have about 3/4th done. Do you know of anyone I can contact on this forum regarding leaving a UC after a year to go to a CC, and then transfering? Any other info would be helpful. Thanks.</p>
<p>I would highly suggest making a new thread and writing about your situation. Most people who do the UC -> CC -> UC transfer will probably notice it and help you out.</p>
<p>Is it true that we get to keep our GPA?</p>
<p>@Arcade</p>
<p>Believe so. I think you are allowed to put your UC GPA on your resume. Only when employers request your resume will they see your GPA from each individual college. My brother was a UC-UC transfer some years ago and he went in to Berkeley with a 4.0. His UC GPA upon graduation was ~3.8/3.9 instead of a 3.6/3.7 because of his UCSC grades.</p>
<p>If an employer asks for your UC GPA and nothing else, then you can actually just state your combined GPA from both UCs. If the employer has an application where you list the colleges you have attended, then this is where you have to divide the GPA’s.</p>
<p>anyone do a ucsd to ucb transfer for eecs?
i have a low cumulative gpa:3.5 but a decent major gpa: 3.8
i will have finished all the prereqs by winter quarter
and basically the only ec i have is a cs internship this summer (will this help at all?)</p>
<p>on the uc website for transfer it says “You must complete a minimum of 90 quarter units” i’m not too sure what that means. if i plan to transfer as a junior does it mean i need to complete a min of 90quarter units during the beginning of soph. year when I apply or by the time sophomore year is over?</p>
<p>When sophomore year finishes, you should have 90 quarter units. This number includes UC classes, CC classes, and AP credit. I know you’re attending UCSC, so just take 3 classes a quarter for 3 quarters (3 x 5 x 3) and you’ll be fine each year (45 x 2). Depending on your major, you might also take classes with labs and some of those will give you 2 units as well.</p>
<p>@MidnightGolfer thanks for replying! ok i understand it now.sorry i asked that same question in the private message.</p>
<p>Is it essential to finish the math requirement by fall quarter, or can it be completed by the spring before transfer?</p>
<p>Is it possible to do a lower division transfer (transfer out after my first year)? I want to gtho out of UCSD asap, but they have a lot of GE’s, so it is possible to just finish off the GE’s at the other uc? Or should I format my schedule at UCSD to knock off as many ge’s at the other uc as much as possible? I’m thinking about going to UCI or UCD.</p>
<p>So I go to Texas Christian University, I’ll have 78 credits by the end of this semester, a cumulative gpa of 3.430, I’m involved in our gymnastics team and our crew club, and I’m only a freshman (but due to my amount of credits, I will be applying as a junior transfer). I graduated in 2010 and I’m hoping that my high amount of credits at a young age will also help me out. I’m also hoping to raise my GPA after this semester with all A’s. Can someone please tell me what the chances of getting into their school for Political Science would be? I’m hoping that the fact that I am attending a school such as TCU will help me. PLEASE let me know. I applied as a freshman and while I did not get in, they offered me the opportunity to come in and make a transfer plan with an academic advisor. What are the chances of acceptance? I don’t want to waste my time applying to a school to get rejected.

<p>I also applied as a transfer to UC Davis, UCSB, and UCSD. Can someone help me out? :)</p>
