Hi! I know it’s really early, but I just wanted to create a thread for any psych majors that are planning to apply for Fall 2020!
I’m planning to apply to UCLA, UCI, and UCSD. So far, my gpa is pretty weak (3.26), but I plan to boost it up to around a 3.6 by this fall. I only had A’s and B’s up until this summer when I retook Bio 1 and ended with a C. I had dropped it with a W in the spring because I couldn’t handle it I know I don’t look like a very strong candidate at all, but I am in the Honors program and doing TAP for UCLA. I’m just worried because the average psych gpa was a 3.78 for LA, and my projected gpa is around a 3.63… Here are some mediocre EC’s:
-I was in International Club for all of Fall semester
-I participated in a 3-day Psych research project this summer
-I hope to get an on campus job
-Lastly, I plan to participate in the annual Honors research conference at UCI in the Fall!
Will I get in to these schools? Ehhh… I’m actually not too worried about Irvine, and I’m applying to SD as a Sociology Science and Medicine major (the average accepted gpa was around a 3.3)! My goal would definitely be to get into LA since that’s been my dream school… I’ll have most of their pre-req’s done so that won’t be an issue. Hopefully, my essays and EC’s shine through! Good luck to you all too! ??
HEY ! I’m a psych major as well, my gpa is at a 3.3 right now but will be a 3.45 by end of fall
I did TAG for UC Davis so I hope I get that !
