The UCLA Transfer FAQ

<p>Hey Ari,</p>

<p>I got accepted to UCLA but made a mistake on my original uc application. I did not add 2 W’s and one class in which I failed and retook for an A the following semester. The class I retook for an A is a non-transferable class. The 2 W’s have nothing to do with my major. My major is also non-impacted.</p>

<p>I reported my mistake and they asked for my unofficial transcripts which I already sent. Do these mistakes have a big chance of affecting my status. I am really freaking out right now waiting for their decision!</p>

<p>I just sort of thought of this - do I have to do anything to let my current school know I’m transferring out? It’s a CSU if that matters.</p>

<p>I was planning to just not register for classes, but I realized that they’d probably think I was still enrolled…</p>

<ol>
<li><p>i got the regents scholar and they said i’d get guaranteed housing. isnt every transfer guaranteed housing for one year? or does it mean i’ll get watever my top priority is?</p></li>
<li><p>i love to make friends and stay active but i also want to have privacy and some place not too loud or chaotic. I’m considering bw plazas and suites. which one do you think is better? what are the pros and cons?
And what plaza or suite would u recommend?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Can someone, please, answer question on page 3:</p>

<p>doonroy: "I have a few questions:</p>

<p>Can someone who’s admitted as an Econ major switch his/her major to Business Econ (once after transfer)?</p>

<p>If a person is struggling in Business Econ and wants to switch his/her major to Econ, is there any restrictions (for example, space limit) other than the GPA requirements? (2.0 for Econ I believe?)"</p>

<p>I am admitted as a pre-business economics major. What happens if I do not get a 3.5+ GPA in ec11/101? Can I choose another major (economics) or they will revoke my admission? How many people, who are admitted into pre-business economics major, actually get into the major and what happens to the rest of them (who do not)? </p>

<p>Thank you very much for any information on this topic.</p>

<p>UCLAri just answered my question. THank you.</p>

<p>Or not. So is it worth to try to sign up and hope to get single room occupancy? ( I want my own bedroom!), and do they let you know what you got after you pay $30, or I needt opay in full before i Knwo where they placed me?</p>

<p>So if I want single room occupancy, is it better for me to live off campus or on?!</p>

<p>And another question: There’s no way to minor in Communications in UCLA, right?</p>

<p>well im going towards theater directing as major
so i dont think tap is gonna help me
currently trying 2 complete igetc
then mayb join some related clubs
not a school priority person(working)
gpa maintain around 3.3 or something like dat</p>

<p>really wanna get into ucla >< (guilty)
but i’ll b lucky 2 get accepted into UC rite?</p>

<p>Well, I’ll tell you this about UCLA: My GPA is about 3.6, and UCLA took me…they look a bit more on the whole , and pay attention the essay more, so it’s possible you’ll get it…but then again, the film department at UCLA I hear is selective, so I don’t know too much.</p>

<p>(I got into the poli sci dept)</p>

<p>iono about you guys, but on my housing app, I put doubles with both restroom preferences as my options then the rest were single hahahah. So yeah, I can’t live in a triple, I’m an extrovert socially, but a serious introvert when studying and regarding my living arrangements.</p>

<p>UCLAri!!! I need you help!! do you have any info on the margan apartments??? I was placed in these and no one seems to know what they are like. Please give me some insight!!</p>

<p>Hi:</p>

<p>I was offered a triple in Rieber Vista for fall 2009. I had put on my preferences that I wanted the University apartments, as I am a transfer student. I am wondering if you know anything about the likelihood of switching/changing a housing agreement. I am aware that I can submit a request; however, that is after I submit my intent to live in on-campus housing (which, at this point, I am not sure about), and if I do indeed submit my intent in hopes of changing assignments and am not allowed, I will have lost $300. Since you seem knowledgeable about UCLA, what do you think the likelihood of switching would be? I am thinking I’ll take the risk… but obviously I don’t really want to lose the $300 if I am S.O.L. and choose to live off-campus.</p>

<p>Did you get a UCLA scholarship? If so why not live on campus? I wanted a university apartment too because the scholarship would have paid for most of it, but if you live in the dorms you only have to pay $2000 more than the scholarship and that includes all of your food.</p>

<p>I too got in the rebier plazas, and it’s like $4,000 more than I would have paid in an apartment. But I would spend $2,500 on food and gas if I commute. So why not?</p>

<p>Also, UCLA says they accept less than half of the requests to change housing.</p>

<p>Well I am trying to transfer into rieber vista from the margan apartments so maybe u have a shot!</p>

<p>anyone know anything about the glenrock apartments?</p>

I am a Political Science major and the major requires you to take four upper division classes in other social science, I want to take History and Anthropology classes however I notice that all of the upper division classes have major restrictions. As I have to take upper division classes in these fields is it possible to for me to enroll in these classes an d if so when can I enroll i.e second pass or do I need the instructors permission?</p>

<p>When you apply for transfer did you get to a pick an alternate major?</p>

<p>I’m interested in applying as a sociology major, but I don’t know if I can fit in one pre-req (finite math). How much would that hurt my application, even if I’ll being in TAP and all other pre-reqs are done?</p>

<p>also, if i were to apply undeclared, would that be a bad thing?</p>

<p>Transfer’s are not allowed to apply as undeclared and without that pre-req your chances would be low for UCLA.</p>

<p>Would an American born to Iranian immigrants be considered an URM in UCLA??</p>
