Have you guys applied to any other UC’s?

Hello guys. Hope you are doing well. I am a student at USC, but trying to transfer to [UCI]. I am a pre-med, and I have been working so hard this past two years. Here are my stats. Let me know if you have any questions.

IGETC status: Completed
Gender: Male
In-state/OOS/International: In-state(USC)
School Type: USC Private School
Other (strengths, weaknesses, hooks,): I stayed consistent with everything I did. This pre-med journey is very hard guys, but if you stay strong and stay motivated you can do it. I hope UC’s do not reject me because I go to USC and not a CC, but let’s hope for the best. Wish you all best of luck, and let me know if you have any questions.

You have great stats and extracurriculars, so I imagine you’re in the running for admission. But is there a reason you’re transferring from USC? The UC’s prioritize CCC transfers, and since you already go to a great school I think you would need a compelling reason to transfer.

Hi. Hope you are well. The main reason is financial reasoning. When I moved to LA, I expected family aid and some grants along the way. However, my mom got cancer and so she could not help me financially. USC did not help me much, and the education itself is not worth it(considering the tuition). So, I decided to apply to UC’s. I know UC’s prioritize CCC students, but I have worked very hard this past two years, and I believe I hope things work out.

That makes sense. Sorry you had to go through that! Did you mention all of this information in your application, like in the essays or additional comments?

Yes additional comment. Wbu? What UC do you want to transfer to? What CC you attend? Whats your major?

I didn’t have any extenuating circumstances that I mentioned on my application. I go to a cc in Northern California. I applied as an economics major and I have a 4.0 gpa. I’m also doing TAG with UCSB and I only applied to UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UCSB, UCLA, UCI, and UCSD

Wish you best of luck

You too!

does having a 4.0 in major prep help my odds or do they primarily look at total gpa ?

Are some of the decisions for UCI admission coming today? What time are the decisions usually published?
