<p>i heard that each uc's will consider courses that are required for the same major at other uc's. does that mean they look at all courses that satisfies the major requirements for all uc's, or do they only consider the maj req. courses u completed for the uc's u applied to?</p>
<p>also the more a major (un-impacted) is popular, the more difficcult it is to get into, right?</p>
<p>Each UC has its own admissions office. Each school sets its own standard above the general uc required cores; english writing, critical thinking, math and the general breadth courses. Once you complete the basic requirements, the school will look at your compeleted major courses/igetc courses and match the courses with a list for your intended major. If you meet the requirements for completed premajor courses, they then go on through your application.</p>
<p>An impacted major is a major where there are more applicants than spaces available. Impacted majors are generally harder to get into. While an average gpa of 3.5 is the accepted profile of the average student, an impacted major may have average accepted student profiles with 3.8 gpas.</p>
<p>when do the uc's really start looking at transferr application? i really am not sure when to send my ap scores.
i heard that major requirements are crucial for admission, but this is only true for regular applicants. the tap students have their application sent to a different group (at least for ucla). what are their standards, the people who evaluate tap students?</p>
<p>There isn't anyone really capable of telling you what happens beyond meeting the basic requirements. Except for admissions evaluators and admissions consultants(former admission evaluators). From what I hear, tap students are set aside into a different pile. Who evaluates the applications, I have no idea. I guess tap students get the upper leg when it comes to dealing with other students of the same caliber. As far as ap scores, I believe you enter scores in as you are filling out the application but I'm not sure because I don't have any ap scores.</p>
<p>Completing your major prep is cruical to gaining acceptance at any UC. The majority of UCs want to see that you complete all your premajor courses by spring prior to transfer. If you don't complete all the courses, it doesn't mean you won't get accepted. It just means that you might not be comparable to students who have completed. For instance, let's say UCI isn't impacted for economics and UCLA is, hypothetically. So you completed all but one premajor course. UCI has spots available and need people to fill those spots. They would accept you as a pre-(major) junior student in a major until you complete the premajor requirements, given you have 60 transferrable units and would be in junior standing. On the other hand, UCLA has a limited number of spots to fill and an influx or overflow of qualified students wanting to enter into the program. UCLA will compare the pool of qualified students and choose among the pool. Therefore, the GPA/qualifications of the admitted student at UCLA will be considerably higher than at UCI. Are the programs any different? That's for you to decide. Overall, the ucs will admit the most qualified student with the higher gpa. Personal statements and extra ciriculars do count. But you need to have the gpa and courses completed.</p>
<p>Are you concerned that you won't be accepted? What is your major and what courses have you completed? And how are you going with the IGETC?</p>
<p>this is my situation:
going to transffer in one year, will have igetc and tap finished. my expected gpa for fall 2006 is 3.75 or 4.0. i put art history as my major and history as alt. major. for ucla i have completed major requirements for history, but for art history i am missing two because they are not offered at my ccc. for uc riverside, i completed major requirements for art history, for berkeley i have no idea because they don't post course requirements at assist. org or on their website. will the admissions just look at numbers and ignore my whole situation? as part of their "comprehensive review', won't they look at application as a whole and realize that i am some determined fellow? my essays are totally brilliant. in fact, they are so original that i almost want to publish some of the ideas in it.</p>
<p>sauronvoldemort in all honestly I think you'll get in bro. </p>
<p>Anyways, it's five days until the application is due, so there isn't much you can do to change anything. So don't stress yourself out with these "chances" questions; they'll only make you more anxious, and the next six months will feel like six years. Just sit back, relax, and focus on doing well on the classes you have now. This the only thing that can impact your admission chances at this point.</p>
<p>If the courses aren't offered at your ccc. Then you have nothing to worry about(that's what my counselors say). You're a tap student and will be qualified prior to spring before transfer. There's a leg up. Your gpa looks good, 3.75. If art history is really your passion, i'd leave it as it. If it isn't, then i'd change it to history. I went through the same situation also. I'm a business econ applicant. But I'm short one recommended accounting course, so I juggled between the idea of economics and business economics. Essentially, the same major, same department. But I went with the major I felt more passionate about. Let's just hope that I get in. Crossing my fingers(lol).</p>
<p>when exactly are u notified if ur admitted? will they drop u if ur spring grades are not as good as previous semestres?
art history is just something i'm good at. the describing of art works and interpreting them is really enjoyable for me. and also it is more organized than history.
these were some majors i considered:
classics
philosophy</p>
<p>i also wanted to major in physics, but it requires skills in math. also, it has already covered huge amount of ground through einstein, i can hardly imagine it providing any chance for me to advance it. but, physics will always be an interest of mine because it is filled with the fantasy that other sciences lack: wormholes, extra-terrestrial intelligence, quantum,</p>
