<p>Transfer to UCLA from UCSD?
Last year the average GPA of a political science major to UCLA was a 3.65. I have a 3.66, but there are also 2,000 more students applying this year than last year to the university. My question, simply put, is "should I be optimistic about my chances?"</p>

<p>From what I hear, UCLA gives the same consideration to other UC students as it does to community college students.</p>

<p>Pros:
Studied abroad in Germany fall quarter of sophomore year
Member of Student Council Freshman year
Finished all lower-division requirements for political science
Finished all GE requirements for Thurgood Marshall College
Joined a Fraternity</p>

<p>Cons:
No extensive leadership in college
GPA????? (Good enough?)</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your help. Any response would be greatly appreciated, but if you have any information other than what I have posted, meaning you know something that I don't already know, that would be best.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance, shaq. </p>

<p>Do you have an upward trend and/or mostly A’s in your major prereqs? If so, then I’d say you’re in.</p>

<p>Also, how do you think your personal statements were?</p>

<p>Thanks! So far I have an A and an A- in my major pre-req. classes. I just finished one this winter quarter, and have another one that I’m taking in spring. The fifth requirement I already tested out of in high school</p>

<p>As for essays, one i felt was very strong (about me losing about 30 lbs. after high school) and another was average (working with kids at a local community shelter)</p>

<p>I also worked at the student dining hall for a period last year, and interned abroad in India during the summer. Neither of these were particularly related to my major, but it’s some experience nonetheless :/</p>
