Hi, I’m trying to transfer to Cal as a Political Science major and I’m wondering about my chances of getting in.
GPA: 3.8 or 3.7 (waiting for some grades)
EC: I volunteered at a food pantry for a year. (I know, I’m lacking)
My essays are very strong and I started college at 16. I will be transferring as a junior at 18 and am from a low income family. I’m not sure if any of that matters, but I thought I’d put it out there.
You are solidly in the GPA range of 3.68-3.94. The admit rate was 24.8% last year (better than trying to get in as a freshman). Make sure your personal statements are well-written and make you stand out - maybe highlighting your age and its challenges.
