<p>I know we're all transfers here, but I thought some of you might want to check this out.</p>
<p>UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Freshmen, Fall 2008</p>
<p>Why would you make us worry like that? Look at those stats "avg GPA of admits 4.34" I'm going to go cry in the corner now. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>wow, that's just nuts. poor freshmen...</p>
<p>now i see why there are so many new transfer student posters on this forum...</p>
<p>I'm sure most of the applicants are all fantastic students. don't let a little bad luck get in your way. if they close a door, climb out the window, lol.</p>
<p>if you REALLY want to cry, know that Harvard only accepted 7% of their applicants, with ~22,000 applicants this year (imagine, only 7 out of 100). Yale accepted 8%.</p>
<p>Soooo many applicants to UCLA. absolutely crazy.</p>
<p>QQ more thetrumpet070. :P</p>
<p>Assuming they only take honors classes (common) their percent GPA (4.4/5) is 88, ie, not really impressive (like a 3.5 in college).</p>

<p>This doesn't sound right... Can anyone verify this?</p>
<p>All this time I was thinking freshman have got it rough....</p>
<p>It's not exactly right because it is impossible to take 100% honors/AP classes. I think more feasibly, the highest weighed GPA is 4.5-4.6.</p>
<p>Also the average GPA was 4.34, not 4.4. So 4.34 / 4.5 and 4.34 / 4.6 is 3.86 and 3.77 respectively in terms of transfers' GPA.</p>
<p>actually, my cousin left her prep school with a GPA of 4.8 (i believe that the highest possible).</p>
<p>it all depends on how many AP's your school offiers. it could also be that she went to a magnet/prep school.</p>
<p>My son took all AP classes his senior year in high school, and for that year he got a 5.0 GPA.</p>
<p>We're talking about all 4 years, which is what the colleges look at. Not just 1 year.</p>
<p>Those GPAs are only for 10-11 grades.</p>
<p>Community college was so freaking easy. I think I worked harder my freshmen year in Honors English that my English 2 Critical thinking class at DeAnza. High school applicants have it so much worse than us transfers.</p>
<p>maybe you're just smarter now ;)</p>
<p>Don't wink at me, haha. I may be smarter now but from what everyone is saying on here, it seems to me that our courseload is equivalent to us than AP coursework in Highschools. No way anyone believes this. I remember taking Honors classes; not even AP classes and it was so much work.</p>
<p>I took an AP econ and political science class and we did not do that much work.</p>
<p>You have to remember that not all honors/AP/regular classes are equal. Your experience is just that, one persons experience. For me high school was way too easy but that doesn't mean highschool is easy for everyone.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, for some reason AP Civics/Econ and Poli Sci weren't hard. Then again, Macro Econ and Micro were both hella easy at CCC. AP Chem, Physics, English, maths; all these classes were hard for me: heavy work load.</p>
<p>Yea I did not even consider AP math.</p>
<p>Are you kidding? English/Calculus BC/Physics were easy, chemistry was kind of hard (the class was way harder than the AP test here). AP Japanese Language was hard. 9_9</p>
<p>Econ tests were easy, but also emulate the econ101 vibe.</p>
