Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey Everyone !!! So I just completed my first year at a CSU and I want to transfer (Pre-Med Bio Major)... I dont plan on transferring till next year so I can get me pre reqs done and get my GPA higher... As of right now my GPA is 3.4 and my ec are VP of the American Medical Student Association for my University, Region 10 coordinator for Student Heath and Awareness AMSA (Manage 10 states) and In a a honors lab program called MARC U* STAR which is a research program dealing with biomedical sciences. I have paid for all my education through research grants (The MARC U* STAR Program) I want to transfer to USC,UCI,UCSD,UCLA or NYU. What are my chances? and what schools do you recommend?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>If you’re interested in UCs, give some serious thought to spending the next year at a CCC. If your last 30 units are completed at a CCC, you can get guaranteed acceptance to UCSD, and have a good shot at UCI and UCLA, since preference is given to CCC students. </p>

<p>Its pretty hard, but not impossible, to transfer from a CSU straight to a UC.</p>

<p>^ Thank you for the response :slight_smile: I was thinking the same thing but I was looking at UCLA profile and they really like it when you are able to finance your own college … If I leave my current school I will have to give up the research since its only for four year college students… Also they main reason why I want to transfer (and this is the honest truth) UCLA and the others i mentioned offer research in the field of oncology which is the field I want to go into… my campus doesnt have research that really goes into the field (Just sort of touches upon it) so I think that is what would give me a fighting chance as a csu student… I just dont want to transfer because of the name … I want to transfer so I can actually get a better education in the field I want to go into and these UC and other privates are the ones I think I might have a shoot at that offer my field… o and the honors research LAB I am in also has a collaboration with UCI UCLA and USC PhD programs with 90 percent acceptance rate …but I want to go into the undergrad so i dont think it really matters… but those schools are aware of the program I am in</p>

<p>The average admitted GPA for biology transfers to UCLA is 3.74. As a non-CCC student, you’d likely need higher than that to stand a good chance of getting in. Your various programs may help you, but I’m not sure how closely the admissions people work them.</p>

<p>You’d have a better chance at UCI or UCSD. If you get a 4.0 for the next year, that’ll get you up to 3.7, within striking distance for UCLA.</p>
