The Official Fall 2014 UCLA Transfer Decisions Thread

<p>Hey. Guys can you login MyUCLA with your 9 digit UCLA ID and see your financial aid award letter? Also apply for housing?</p>

<p>TAP certification is a boost for a lot of applicants. I have a friend who was accepted to UCLA with a 3.3ish GPA for Art History. Wouldn’t have gotten in without TAP. </p>

<p>@MYOMOO‌
where do you get the ucla id number?</p>

<p>You email the admissions Office and you will get the ID</p>

<p>Major: History
GPA: 3.6
IGETC and prereqs will be done this spring, along with an AA-T degree (Don’t think that makes a difference with UCLA).
EC’s: some history tutoring, as well as work experience.
Transferring from Mesa Community College. Live in North San Diego County.
Accepted: UCSB, UCSC, SDSU, CPSLO.
Pending: UCLA</p>

<p>Can’t really beat the location of UCSB, but UCLA will be hard to turn down on the slim chance I get in
 </p>

<p>Isn’t history or pre-history impacted at UCLA? I got regents invite and I’m still not counting on getting in lol</p>

<p>@onehandedred‌ </p>

<p>Yes, although it’s worth noting that that major isn’t as impacted as biology, psychology, or economics at UCLA. It’s only somewhat impacted.</p>

<p>For my major, global studies, it says on assist.org that it is highly selective. Does this mean it is impacted? If I remember correctly the average admitted GPA for it last year for transfers was around 3.81.</p>

<p>According to this list of majors in UCLA’s College of Letters and Science, Global Studies is impacted.</p>

<p>Is anyone planning on studying abroad? :slight_smile: </p>

<p>So, I applied as Pre-Psychology, with all my pre-requisites completed and one of them currently in progress. I have a 3.96 GPA.
I’m starting to think I may just want to do Philosophy instead, however. I have all of the per-requisites for Philosophy finished as well.
Do you guys think I would be able to successfully appeal for Philosophy if I get rejected for Psychology? </p>

<p>Unless you have TAP on your side, I doubt UCLA will accept you in to an alternate major. <em>Generally</em>, UCLA doesn’t admit non-TAP students in to alternate majors as far as I know.</p>

<p>@ocnative‌ </p>

<p>Not really interested. I’ve heard that it’s not worth it. Not sure if that’s true, but it certainly doesn’t interest me. But to each their own, right?</p>

<p>What do you guys think of my odds?</p>

<p>Program: Biz Econ
GPA: 3.93
IGETC: Complete
PREREQS: All complete, except for Calc II which I’m taking now. A’s in all of em.
TAP: I dropped out, because I didn’t want to bother with an alternate major as none of them interested me.</p>

<p>@GreatestThe‌ </p>

<p>lol, you know you don’t have to pick an alternate major as a member of UCLA’s TAP program, right? You may have just made it less likely to get admitted because of it.</p>

<p>In any case, your grades are good, but I don’t know how UCLA feels about completing Biz Econ pre-reqs in spring. If they’re OK with it, you should get in.</p>

<p>I wonder how many waitlist offers will ucla be giving? It makes it a bit less nerve wreaking knowing they will have a wait list this year. Althought who knows how itll work out </p>

<p>wait they are doing waitlist this year???</p>

<p>@Bookham yes ucla rep told our workshop</p>

<p>Yeah, I believe Ms Sun also noted that UCLA was adding waitlist this year. Anyway, I read it somewhere a while back.</p>

<p>Past two years, UCLA has released an official news release that includes all their admission numbers and the release date of transfer admissions around a week from now. It was April 17 in 2012 and April 18 in 2013. So there’s about a week to go until we know the date on which we will know if we’re admitted or not.</p>

<p>Don’t like the waitlist thing at all. It gives people so much hope and they only admit so little people off the waitlist. </p>
