UC Sociology major transfers

There seems to be other threads for majors, so i’m starting one for Sociology majors. What are your stats? (UC GPA, did you TAG anywhere? Finish major pre-reqs?) What campuses did you apply to? What are you planning to do with your major and your degree? Are you thinking of double majoring? I’d like to see what other Soc majors stats are.

GPA: 3.51 probably finish off with a 3.6 or close to 3.6
TAG: Yes, UC Davis
Applied to: UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Berkeley, CSULA, CSU Long Beach, SFSU
Accepted to: UC Davis TAG accepted, CSULA, CSU Long Beach, SFSU

I want to focus on law and sociology, and possibly go to law school or get a Masters in Social Work or Public Policy. Thinking of minoring in Philosophy.

GPA: 4.0
Applied: UCSD,UCLA,UCD,UCB,USC
Accepted: UCSD, waiting for others
I finished all of me Pre-Reqs for all schools
I am wanting to double major in communication and do my sociology with an emphasis in business I hope to eventually get my MBA
I have also thought of minoring in public service or law.

@grinchmeup Yes!

Hi! I am a Sociology and Ethnic Studies Major!

Here are my stats.

GPA: 3.95
TAG: Should have done this, but I forgot.
Applied to: SFSU, UC Riverside, UC Berkeley
Accepted to: SFSU and UC Riverside thus far.
EC: A lot of activities :smiley:

After undergrad, I want to get an Masters in Social Work or in Education. I want to practice my critical pedagogy to perpetuate growth and healing in my communities. :stuck_out_tongue:

@ediikiins Your stats look awesome.

It took forever for SFSU to give me an admission decision and if for some reason my TAG gets voided and I can’t go to UC Davis and I don’t get into any other UC’s I might as well go to SFSU since I live 3 blocks away but I dunno i’ve heard so many weird things about SFSU, i’m kind of on the fence about them but I hear their Sociology program is pretty good.

Hello! I’m a sociology major as well :slight_smile:

GPA: 3.2
TAG: UCSC
Applied: UCSC, UCR, SFSU, CSU San Marcos
Accepted: UCSC, UCR, SFSU, CSU San Marcos
IGETC: Finished fall 2015
Prereqs: Finishing my last one this semester

I’m definitely going to buckle down at UCSC and get a way better GPA so I can get to grad school eventually. Currently though, I’m planning on teaching after I get my bachelor’s.
@boxandwhiskers Just out of curiosity, what kinds of things have you heard about SFSU? I’m from socal and don’t really know anyone who goes there or what it’s really like

@avery760 I know what you mean. I know my GPA could have been way better if I had known so much more when I started and did things differently. I’m looking forward to moving on so I can get a fresh start with my GPA.

Lots of SFSU students have told me to try to go literally to any other college, that SFSU is just not that good of a school (which I know is totally subjective, but i’ve had like 16 people tell me the same thing and it makes me feel weird). My sister also went there and she absolutely hated it. She disliked the teachers, she was also sexually assaulted on campus and the school did nothing and our family went through a whole legal fight with the school and she eventually dropped out and never earned her degree and has really bitter feelings towards the school. There’s drama all the time there that gets reported to the local news, some kid just got harassed by a student over his dreadlocks and it’s all over the news right now.
I’m also looking to move out of San Francisco, I really dislike it here so SFSU is kind of dead last on my list of back up schools.

@boxandwhiskers Yeah, it definitely took me a few semesters at my cc before I realized that actually attending all of my classes would help my grades :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m so sorry about what happened to your sister and all that your family had to go through with that :frowning: thank you for sharing all of that insight though, I really appreciate it!

@avery760 Thanks. There’s been so much talk of sexual assaults on campus lately, especially at UC Berkeley. TBH it’s kind of turned me off to UC Berkeley, the way they handle sexual assault on campus. It makes them look pretty bad. I understand the prestige of the college, but I’m apprehensive to feel excited about any possible hope of getting accepted and going to Berkeley if there’s so much assault happening there while the school does little to combat it.

ANYWAY, on a lighter note, I can’t wait till after April’s over so all the waiting can be over and all the decisions are released. I’m excited to get all these lower divis classes over with so I can just focus on Sociology courses full-time.
