Hey everyone,
UCI is beginning to become my first choice university to go to finish undergrad. I attended OCC and then transferred from there to LMU, then took a leave of absence due to family issues. My cumulative GPA is a 2.92. Like I said, I’d be transferring into UCI as a junior. I’ve got pretty good essay writing abilities and extracurriculars. Also, my mother got her teaching credential at UCI years ago. I’ve grown up in Orange County, in nearby Costa Mesa, and it would make so much sense financially and pragmatically. It doesn’t hurt that I know UCI has one of the most revered Masters programs in CA for creative writing.
Is there anyone here who transferred in as a Junior English major with similar circumstances? Is there anything I should know that may give me an edge in applying? Is 2.9 even a high enough GPA to give it a shot?
Thanks!
