Overall GPA: 4.0
Major: Spanish
Major Requirements: Yes
IGETC: Yes
TAP: No
EC: Work related to my major and some basic volunteering
Personal Essays: Interesting…not sure what else to say about that…</p>

<p>I am not sure about this guys! I am so confused on where I should go!</p>

<p>@jwayne7392‌ </p>

<p>I suggest you appeal. Sounds like you have an interesting case to make. </p>

<p>@Shugahs‌ nope haven’t heard from them but I imagine we are waiting due to our highly impacted majors. Apparently you are in the same boat @campfireweekend‌ keep us posted !</p>

<p>@jwayne7392 Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure you’ll get into UCB. I had a friend who was transferring the same year as me and she got rejected from every UC, but got accepted to UCB as a rhetoric major. They’re usually a lot more holistic than the other schools.</p>

<p>Of course you should appeal! You have nothing to lose. </p>

<p>@ocnative I am thinking about it. I checked the page and it said that they don’t seriously consider an appeal unless there was a really troubling circumstance or there was proof that my grades were better and I forgot to put it in my application.</p>

<p>Decision: ACCEPTED!
Major: pre-sociology
Gpa: 3.68
Tap: No
Igetc: Yes
Major pre: all but one finish in spring
EC: church group, girl scouts, key club, work experience

<p>I wrote a really strong personal statement so I guess that justifies my acceptance? Good luck to the rest of you! :)</p>

<p>@repo11 Hopefully I will. I have known a few people who have been rejected to UCLA but get into UCB so I’m crossing my fingers that I will!</p>

<p>@CompSciUCTrnsfr‌ Dude I’m so so happy right now, I feel like we’re shoe-ins for UCB now! But to get rejected from UCD and UCSD is just weird… I thought SD would be a sure back up and I tagged, too! I guess a 3.96 isn’t good enough these days LOL</p>

<p>@ocnative‌ thanks :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Anyone have advice on finding scholarships? Even a couple thousand would be a tremendous help for me</p>

Overall GPA: 4.0

<p>Still waiting on Haas to make a decision, but blessed to know that UCLA wants me. :-c </p>

<p>@nydallas Don’t expect scholarships to help that much because the financial aid office will just subtract the amount you receive from your FA package. </p>

<p>@repo11 gotcha, but I didnt get anything in my financial aid package :confused: </p>

<p>Question…my admission contract doesn’t say anything about igetc. Should I still get certified? Thanks.</p>

<p>@nydallas Oh, well then that’ll definitely help.</p>

<p>@jwayne7392‌ sorry to hear that… I’m actually surprised because your gpa is higher than average for those admitted last year. I’m a gender studies major too. </p>

<p>@uclammg do you currently attend there? or did you just get in?</p>

<p>@jwayne7392‌ I just got in. What pre-req classes did you take?</p>

<p>@uclammg Women’s History 1&2 and currently taking sociology of gender roles (those are the only gender studies related courses offered at my community college)</p>

<p>@jwayne7392‌ Did you complete the general ed requirements? </p>
