<p>I previously attended a 4 year instituion where I did not get the best grades, so now I am at CC. My CC GPA will be about 3.6, but when factored in with my previous grades could drop to just above a 3.0. I have seen that it is require to have a 3.0 UC transferable GPA to apply to the UC schools, but I have also seen on the UC Irvine website that you only need a 2.7 to be eligible for admission to the College of Social Sciences, where psychology is. Can anyone help me out, what is the minimum GPA I will need?</p>
<p>You’ll need a 2.7 GPA. The minimum for UC eligibility is a 2.4 GPA actually. Apparently, for UCI psych you’ll need at least a 2.7.</p>
<p>Try to TAG for psych to UCI, and you’ll be guaranteed admission. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Thank you! How do you know that information is correct, the GPA of 2.7 and 2.4? I am not elligible for TAG because I previously attended a 4 year institution and it was out of state. I am a research assistant at UC Berkeley in a psychology lab and have worked there for 2 years by the time I apply to Irvine/ I also volunteer at the Institute on Aging in San Francisco. How much will that help with the selection process</p>
<p>Those are great EC’s! They’ll definitely help you in your path to being admitted. I mean I think that if you can get your GPA up to a 3.3+ by the end of this fall semester, you should be good to go.</p>
<p>Well I know the 2.4 GPA is necessary for eligibility because that’s what it is for the UC system. You can probably just look it up on the normal UC site. Also, I mentioned the 2.7 for UCI because you said that you needed a 2.7 to be eligible for social sciences at UCI. I wouldn’t know personally; I didn’t apply there.</p>
<p>Btw I think that your research/lab work at UCB is totally cool. How come you’re not applying there? Also, why UCI? jw.</p>
<p>Thanks. I am going to apply to Berkeley as well, I just am not getting my hopes up…</p>
