Hi guys! So I am currently at a California CC and I have recently applied to UCLA for Iranian studies as I am half Persian. I I was wondering if any one has done the same and what GPA, Extra circulars/ volunteering activities you have completed . I know the acceptance rate for transfers into Iranian studies is a bit higher as it is really a specific. Let me know! thanks 
Iranian studies is a very rare transfer major. Here are some of the stats:
In 2018, only 2 people applied. Out of those 2, only 1 was accepted. The one who was accepted had a 3.59 GPA (per http://www.admission.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof18_mjr.htm#FI)
In 2017, 8 people applied. Out of those 8, 6 were accepted. The 25th percentile GPA was 3.42 and 75th percentile GPA was 3.68 (per http://www.admission.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof17_mjr.htm#FI).
You can look into other years by just remove the 18/17 in the links above and entering whichever year you were interested in.
Keep in mind sometimes these tiny majors get discontinued and you’re stuck. It has happened. You might want to email the dept and try to verify that it will be around for the next couple of years. They might not know beyond a year. Sometimes you get in with a major and it’s discintinued before you even start. I’ve seen it up here.
thank you both!
Cool goodluck
