<p>Hi, currently I'm a sophomore I am studying econ, but want to study business (UCD dosen't have a business program). My GPA from my freshman and sophomore years is pretty low (less than a 3.0).</p>
<pre><code> But if I get my act together and do well in my econ classes this quarter/next year, what are the chances I can transfer to a school such as UCLA or Berkley for my 4th year, or am I better off just waiting until I apply for grad schools.
</code></pre>
<p>i dont think you will be able to transfer to ucb or ucla, but if u get like all A’s from now on you have a chance for irvine or riverside</p>
<p>UCLA doesn’t have an undergrad in business. You could try to transfer to Berkeley for business administration, but your chances are VERY VERY VERY slim. Berkeley accepts a small pool of transfers to Haas and top priority is given to community college students. You would need close to a 4.0 and very excellent extracurriculars to even stand a chance. Last year approx. 1-2 UC students were able to switch to Berkeley’s business program.</p>
<p>Besides, if you are currently a sophomore, then you are probably too late to try to transfer out of Davis. There is a transfer cap of 120 credits and chances are you will probably exceed that by the time you “get your act together” next year. </p>
<p>I highly suggest bringing up that GPA as high as possible so you stand a chance for a good grad school.</p>
<p>if you work hard and maintain a GPA 3.5 or above, i would say u have a gd shot at UCSD cux i know two of my frd transfer from davis to SD and they said it wasnt that hard</p>
<p>There is a unit cap for transfers from other 4-year colleges (including UCs). Check [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/answers/applying.html#5]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/transfer/advising/answers/applying.html#5) for the restrictions for each UC campus (and the individual colleges/majors).</p>
<p>UCSD management sciences is your best hope.
second best would probably be business econ at UCI or UCSB.</p>
<p>your best hope is PROBABLY to go to a community college for a while.
that said I’m not an expert and you should DEFINITELY look into it more before following my advice as this isn’t my specialty at all since you’d have A LOT of units.</p>
