<p>Hey guys ..
I am Mechanical Engineering major from CCC .. I am a returning student with 5 years of work experience (never went to college, started job right after high school due to financial constraints and I am a recent immigrant, came to USA about a year ago). Time is a major factor for me and I had to transfer as soon as possible, which'll take me 3 semesters to complete all my pre-reqs. and had to support my self financially so had a part time job as a Physics lab technician at my community college. This pace and busy scheduling did not allow me to focus 100% on my studies and my GPA suffered, by the end of this Semester I'll end up with 3.4-3.5. I've already applied for admission and hoping to get in UCSB or UCI for Mechanical Engr .. Are my stats good enough for transfer to UCI or UCSB ?? .. or my GPA is too low for these schools ??</p>
<p>Did you complete Mechanical Engineering 14, 16 and Engineering 3??
Assist says the gpa should be a 3.4 in the required and recommend courses
Is the 3.4-3.5 your major gpa or uc?</p>
<p>3.43 will be my major GPA … around 3.55 my UC GPA … only Engineering 10 is available at my college … which I will finish next semester. For UCSB I’ve finished all the required classes, plus Chem 1B and 1BL, Math 5b and 5c (will be done by next semester) and even physics 3 and 3L (will be done by next semester) …</p>
