Transfer-Ways to increase chance

<p>How do schools like UCLA/UC Berkeley view transfer apps that are already in their 4th year.</p>

<p>This is kind of a continuation to this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=360635%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=360635&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Brief Synopsis: I attended a top 40 university at a state school in Econ B.S. I was dismissed two years ago because of poor grades -below 2.0 (around 1.8-1.9) (had a personal serious health issue and I have documents/letters from doctors/hospital notes).</p>

<p>Now, I have an option of going back to this school-they're still considering I believe, but since I'm out of state the tuition is like 26-30k a year.</p>

<p>Right now, I'm hoping that I end up at UCLA/UC Berkeley, where the tuition is much cheaper but it's pretty much a dream right now.</p>

<p>What can I do from now till I apply(maybe?) besides attend Community college classes or will a school like UCLA/UC Berkeley won't even consider because of my past.</p>

<p>oh, good then :)</p>

<p>well, its going to be difficult, since your gpa at the other school is really low...</p>

<p>however, just take 30 units @ a community college (in california) and then make sure to mention in the essay that you would like to apply for "admissions by exception"; but make sure that you get a 3.8- 4.0 at your CCC (in order to prove that you are worthy). Here is more about it:</p>

<p>hope it helps!</p>

<p>but hes already in his 4th year?</p>

6

<p>oh...well, it really depends on the # of units then.</p>

<p>how many units u got?</p>

<p>I have 176 credits (quarter system)</p>

8

<p>yeah, you cant take classes anymore at a ccc cuz you are above the limit.</p>

<p>hmm...well, the only thing you could do is just apply and just wait and see.</p>

<p>alright thanks mojo. I'll try asking around some more though.</p>

<p>If I'm not allowed to take classes anymore at a ccc because I'm over the limit, I'll just go back to the same school.</p>

<p>I'd rather not apply and waste the application fee and time because I'm certain I won't get in without any recent success.</p>

<p>I am sorry but you really have no chance just save the money and do the best yoy can with what you got.</p>
