<p>Hey i was wondering if anyone had any statistics on average GPAs accepted to UCLA to various majors, the percentages of those admitted etc... i have found a very nice one from berkeley in PDF format, however for the sake of comparison it would be nice to have something similar for UCLA.</p>
<p>some say that majors at UCLA are more difficult for transfering into than those at berkeley, i would like to see some data on this..</p>
<p>thank you in advanced for the detective work!</p>
<p>Based solely on what I know from conferences, first hand observation, and my Honors director, I can tell you that business econ, communications, and engineering are among the most difficult to transfer into (outside of film&tv and the other arts majors). Any major on the impacted list is going to be more difficult to get into than those that are not. Psychology, Poli Sci, English, History, and Sociology are all majors that have recently been added to this list. </p>
<p>It was updated in October or November and should be relatively easy to find using google. Too tired to search right now, but yeah. </p>
<p>If there was a specific major you were looking for, I could give you a ballpark. I know theres a pdf out there somewhere though. Definitely saw one for 2003 a while ago, 2004 is probably out there.</p>
<p>Any stats on Bio, physio, or chem at ucla?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ucop.edu/sas/ets/UCCampus/UCLosAngeles_04.ppt%5B/url%5D">www.ucop.edu/sas/ets/UCCampus/UCLosAngeles_04.ppt</a> This is from the old pathways site. I dont know if the link is going to work, so I'll post what it says about impacted majors- </p>
<p><em>this data is from 2003/04</em></p>
<p>Impacted: Business Econ, Econ, Comm Studies, Laboratory Life Sciences, Econ/International Area Studies. </p>
<p>It also lists Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, History, and English as majors with high numbers of applicants. *As of November 2004, these all had been added to the impacted list. </p>
<p>Since life sciences are impacted, I would assume that 3.6 or 3.7 is a probable average. I know people who were accepted with less, but all had other stuff going on, including honors, ECs, etc. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that regardless of GPA statistics, the number one priority for transfers is completion of lower division work and IGETC.</p>
<p>****Also, it should be noted that UCLA has impacted majors and highly impacted majors. Highly impacted majors are most notably business econ and communication studies. Unlike other impacted majors, these have very strict requirements and often require above and beyond standard transfer work. The other impacted majors are generally not too impossibly difficult but require higher GPAs than the general transfer average (of approximately 3.4).</p>
<p>CC2UC can you give us the url for the particular major at ucb?tks!</p>
<p>very nice site gabe, thanks for sharing</p>
<p>And regarding UCB, I don't think they discern between individual majors. I read that they admit based on the division within the college you apply to. So the humanities are grouped together, the social sciences are grouped together, etc. They still look at how much you've done for your specific major, but they don't specifically have a certain amount of spots to fill for each major (except for majors independent of divisions like legal studies and computer science) where they compare you to others for that specific major. That's what I've heard anyway...I'm still wondering about it.</p>
<p>I'm wondering SPECIFICALLY if it's better to apply for rhetoric (humanities 40% admit rate) over legal studies (individual major 33% admit rate)</p>
<p>CC2UC can you please post the one for Berkeley</p>
