UC to UC 1 Year Transfer

<p>I have been mulling over the decision to pursue a 1 year transfer from UC Irvine to UCLA for the past month...and I have decided to go for it. I have a few concerns though that have been lingering on my mind:</p>

<p>1) The only GPA that I will have to show UCLA will be from the 16 units I took in the Fall quarter. Though this will be a 4.0, this will be the only GPA they see....could they reject me on the grounds that they don't have enough information?</p>

<p>2) My major has 3 Pre-Reqs...I will be taking all of them in the Winter quarter because UCI did not offer them in the Fall. I will include this as an explanation but again...does this allow UCLA to reject me because they won't have a "Pre-Req GPA" aka not enough information?</p>

<p>As you can see, my main fear isn't the workload but instead going through all that hard work and having them deny me anyways because they didn't have enough information.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>FYI: In case you are wondering, here is how the unit game is going to play out for me:
- AP Credits: 28
- Fall Quarter: 16
- Winter Quarter: 20 (+4 Units Online)
- Spring Quarter: 20 (+4 Units Online)
= 92</p>

<p>I put a lot of time and effort in planning all the courses (I will finish all Pre-Reqs and finishing all GE's by Spring) and coordinating the easiest teachers so again, my main concern is the lack of information in the beginning and whether UCLA will deny me on those grounds.</p>

<p>1) The fact that UCLA will only see one quarter of GPA will certainly make transferring more difficult. With that said, I do not think it’s grounds for rejection. I had a friend from high school who went to CC for a year and transferred to UCLA. He, like you, was technically a junior-level transfer due to his AP credits making his credit total over 90 quarter units. Granted, this is only one case, but I think it’s sufficient to say that the school will not reject you simply because they only have one quarter of GPA to look at.</p>

<p>2) Not sure if it’s ground for rejection, especially since UCI did not even offer the courses.</p>

<p>Of course, a lot is dependent upon your major; if it’s impacted, lack of information may hamper you significantly. Nonetheless, go for it and hope for the best!</p>

<p>You should be good. As part of the application, from what I remember you submit winter quarter grades and a tentative spring schedule. So they’ll see whether or not you’re following through on your intended schedule.</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I appreciate the replies guys. Thanks!</p>
