<p>i am a prospective transfer student to UCLA Civil Engineering. When i transfer my GPA will be 3.6 +. I will have all my pre-req's completed but one chemistry class. will this hurt my in the admission process...will UCLA not accept me? I have been working at a civil engineering firm in sacramento for 5 years. I started freshman year of highschool and have been working there til now. I have been involve in various projects including the memorial auditorium and CSU Sacramento expansion project. I am one of the head surveyors at the company.... i am really worried that i won't be accepted because of the chem class i am missing...will somebody please help me?</p>
<p>You're better off asking in the UC Transfers forum. What are your backup schools? The one missing chem class might hurt because your GPA isn't exactly spectacular.</p>

I think 3.6 is good enough for UCLA...</p>
<p>Keep in mind that I meant it isn't exactly spectacular enough for them to forget he's missing a prerequisite. I'm sure a competitive school like UCLA doesn't look at missing a required class very lightly.</p>
<p>3.6 "isn't spectacular"? What the heck do you mean by that..the average at most cc's is ~3.1/3.2, and engineering is pretty challenging.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> I hate it when people don't listen. </p>
<p>What I was trying to say was that a 3.6 isn't spectacular enough for UCLA to just forget about a missing required class. In fact, the average GPA of admitted civil engineering students this year was 3.67 and they more than likely completed all the prerequisites. If s/he had something more like a 3.8 with one missing class then it'd look more likely that that person would get accepted. You underestimate how damaging one missing class can have on an applicant, especially at a very competitive school like UCLA.</p>
