<p>I'm a student at a southern Cali cc and wanted to hear some input on getting accepted as a transfer</p>

<p>my stats:
hs - dismal GPA & SAT but I know they don't count...</p>

<p>one year at uni abroad in the middle east after high school - 85% average about but I don't think most of the classes will transfer anyway</p>

<p>now at ccc with 4.0 GPA and don't plan on finishing up all my coursework with anything lower than a 3.8...at worst.</p>

<p>Want to study political economy or political science at Cal</p>

<p>Got plenty of background experience interning and being active in local level politics and even some experience on international level.</p>

<p>Dare I say I'm competitive as a transfer applicant? What can I do to more effectively guarantee myself a place at Cal?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Well considering I’m a transfer student as well…you’re way more qualified than I am.</p>

<p>Did you finish all of your pre-reqs?</p>

<p>BTW, Political Economy is MUCH easier to get into. Plus, it’s more multidisciplinary! Hope that helps. </p>

<p>And it’s most helpful to get pre-reqs done. Make this a priority.</p>

<p>um yeah, you’re a shoe-in! I transferred from socal with a 3.86, no volunteer work or any of that fancy internship or study abroad stuff. Move on up to norcal, it’s waaaay better up here and you’re definitely getting in.</p>
