Psychology major here, will let you know…LOL. </p>
<p>I’m sure they will take that into consideration with the UC GPA, but keep in mind that CCC students get priority.</p>
<p>When that times comes, you should make a new thread! [:</p>
<p>Haha, woo Psych majors! Are you coming from another UC or CCC? I know they give CCC students priority, but I also know they DO let in some UC transfer and I’m hoping to some how be one of them! I will definitely make a new thread if I’m lucky enough to get in! It’s just really unfortunate that they don’t give out any straight facts about what they would like. It’s just the obvious, the higher the gpa and the more activities the better. I want some concrete facts! Haha.</p>
<p>^
I’m from a CCC! 
</p>
<p>I’ve heard of people doing the UC to UC, but the chances are slim depending on what UC you decide to transfer from. As for facts, I don’t have any prior experience or heard any, but I’m sure you can ask and others would! [:</p>
<p>I don’t know how bad it is to mention a specific school as long as you can provide something in your essays that helps adcoms understand why you specifically want it. Mentioning specific professors/courses that you want to take or organizations you want to be a part of once you get there, to me, would be seen as a sign of purpose more than anything. </p>
<p>Or at least I hope so because that’s what I did for Cal. </p>
<p>3.96 from UCSC by the way</p>
<p>**** thats a hella good gpa, see i know it will be easier to transfer if i go to merced, but at irvine getting tat gpa will be very difficult
3.96 that is like 10 a’s and an a- thats hella legit</p>
<p>DO u know any other transfer students who went from other uc’s</p>
<p>I know a few, it’s a really mixed bag. There is no real set GPA, because a lot of people are trying to go there for a specific reason so they app to some less popular, more specific majors. If you are applying to engineering or an impacted major in L&S it requires a high GPA and a lot of extra curricular activities, and the transfer rate into Haas or Compsci is probably the hardest.</p>
<p>Hi,
I am an international student and accepted to UCD UCSB and UCLA but also rejected by Cal.I’m planning for getting into one of these schools and transfer to Cal and my major is physics.Please give me some piece of advice(I mean GPA or classes that I should take).Btw,am I going to be considered as an international applicant or just another UC to UC transfer?</p>
<p>Ahh I forgot,which of these schools have the best shot in transferring to Cal?</p>
<p>Most likely ucd because most likely you will get the highest gpa there.</p>
<p>If I would have the same gpa in,let’s say,UCLA and UCD,will I have a better shot at LA?I mean GPA is the only important factor?</p>
<p>Hey eagle,</p>
<p>You didn’t get accepted to UCSD or did you even apply?</p>
<p>I’m going there right now as a physics major, so if you decide to go, I can give you advice on which classes to take and what you need to do to transfer.</p>
<p>As for whether or not you’ll be considered as an international student, I’m pretty sure you’ll be evaluated as a UC student cause that’s where all the grades you’re transferring is coming from. I might be wrong, so it might be worthwhile to ask an adviser at your school.</p>
<p>Also, you want to take the hardest physics class that they offer at your school. For me, there are two difficult physics tracks that I can take, one for engineers, and one for physics. I suspect that this will be the same for the other schools, although I know that UCLA has just one tough physics track for both engineers and physicists. Either way, you wanna show the admissions people that you’re really passionate about your major and that you can outshine even their beloved Cal students. If you can, consider joining physics related clubs and volunteering at a physics research lab, for the same purpose of showing that you enjoy physics/and are good at it.</p>
<p>In terms of your GPA, I think going to the easier physics school (probably UCD) will likely net you a higher GPA. Since physics is not impacted at all, you have a good shot at transferring to Cal. Afterall, no one really does physics anymore (there are about 25 freshman at my school in the major). With such little competition, it’ll be easier to come out on top. At the same time, its going to be a difficult journey considering that physics is a very tough subject.</p>
<p>Best of luck in your studies.</p>
<p>Edit: I think you should go to UCLA, despite the fact that your GPA might take a dive. You can never be sure where you’ll be in a few years, so if you happen to get rejected from Cal, at least you’re still at a fairly competitive and rigorous physics school.</p>
<p>“I’ve heard of people doing the UC to UC, but the chances are slim depending on what UC you decide to transfer from. As for facts, I don’t have any prior experience or heard any, but I’m sure you can ask and others would!”</p>
<p>Not really.</p>
<p>If you have a competitive GPA, you have a very good chance at getting into another UC from your current UC. Most students however do not put enough effort into college to have a competitive GPA. We are talking about a GPA above 3.2 for the mid tier UC’s, and probably around 3.75+ for LA/CAL. For competitive majors, those numbers are even higher. At a community college, however, you can sign a TAG and guarantee an acceptance to any UC except Cal and LA with only a 3.0 in far easier courses compared to UC courses. The criteria for transferring depends mostly on GPA and fulfilling GE/Lower division requirements (like 90%), followed by activities pursued at college, working, personal achievements, family/personal issues, etc. The UC you transfer from does not matter much.</p>
<p>"If I would have the same gpa in,let’s say,UCLA and UCD,will I have a better shot at LA?I mean GPA is the only important factor? "</p>
<p>You should go whichever campus you feel you will enjoy the best. Transferring to Cal no matter where you transfer from is hard, and they will not care much whether you come from Davis or LA. Both schools are part of the UC system, which get second priority after CCC transfer students. The difference in difficulty at those UC’s probably will not be that much. Pick a school you would be happy at if you happened to get rejected from Cal as a transfer student.</p>
<p>hey all this stuff seems to be what im going through.
im a freshman at uc davis in computer science and engineering. i ve thinking of transferring to Berkeley haas but looking at their 6% acceptance rate, its doesnt seem likely.
certain unpopular majors seems to be better though

<p>im currently looknig into my options.</p>
<p>Sure, unpopular majors are easier to get into… but do you really want to major in some of those unpopular majors?</p>

Thank you for your post it was really informative.Unfortunately no,I didn’t apply to UCSD.I know physics is a toughe major both for it’s course and opportunities after graduation but I’m glad to see somebody who choose physics b/c I don’t know ANYBODY in class of 2013 that choose physics and people look different when I say I will study abroad and choose physics.Anyway,I’ve heard UCSB has one of the best physics department around the country.Do you have any info about it?
Thank you again and good luck in your tough journey:)</p>
