<p>thanks!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I responded in both threads - this one doesn't have the full back story, but enunz is looking at UCI and UCLA for English or maybe Psych, but is a freshman (?) and has about about 3.1 GPA currently... my response to the fit between where she is right now and the two transfer colleges...</p>
<p>UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2008</p>
<p>Average English Transfer admit - GPA of 3.63. (Average total units - 99).
Average Psych Transfer admit - GPA of 3.67 (Average total units - 100).</p>
<p>UCLA likes to see the IGETC completed or close to, and likes to see a lot of prereqs for the major completed. Your GPA seems very weak for UCLA right now. </p>
<p>Irvine is a better fit, but I read somewhere that their admit rates are getting more competitive and it is not as easy to get in recently. Also, I had a professor tell me that this year and next year will be some of the toughest years to try and transfer because 1) there are a LOT of students looking for spots 2) government money is tight for the UCs which leads to 3) shrinking admit classes.</p>
<p>I would definitely tell you to apply to 3+ <em>safety</em> schools, probably CSUs. I know someone at my CC that had a reasonably good GPA and didn't get into any of the colleges she applied to. She simply didn't have enough safeties as part of her plan. </p>
