<p>You guys don’t check the link! They have a website with much more detailed, accurate stats up. For example, California CCs and other UC transfer average GPAs are less than people transferring from other colleges. They need higher GPAs to get admitted, thus bringing the total average number up for everybody… but duh ya’ll knew that math, you’ve applied for UCLA! </p>

<p>I know I sound quite hyper, but I was much more worried about my chances until I saw the more precise stats… so hopefully it will be a relief for some of you while we ALL wait to find out…</p>

<p>Here is the link kiddos: [University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/]University”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/)</p>

<p>(you may also see a better (or worse =/) yield rate for your major)</p>

<p>oh and…
History Major
(from a CC in Ventura County)
My GPA when I applied: 3.60
avg GPA for CC 2008 admits: 3.66
2007: 3.53</p>

<p>a scary place to be right? When I spoke to the rep she told me that the averages can fluctuate often, depending on the number of people who apply for the major… so you never really do know your chances… =( which is the basic principle of statistics haha</p>

<p>oh and yield rates for CC history majors…
2008: 70
2007: 74.2</p>

<p>those values warm my heart, I must say…</p>

28

<p>We all know about statfinder. The problem is statfinder isn’t nearly as detailed as this. Statfinder groups majors together into categories, so if you wanted to find psychology, economics, or political science they would all be grouped under social sciences. The other link only shows UCLA, but I think it has better details. Cal and the other UCs should make sites like the one UCLA has.</p>

29

<p>Cal does have such a site.</p>

30

<p>Link please. I’ve tried looking for one, but never found a good one.</p>

31

<p>Major: Philosophy</p>

<p>My UC-transferable GPA(as of Fall '08): 3.81</p>

<p>2007 average acceptance -3.51
2008 average acceptance-3.55</p>

32

<p>stat finder doesn’t group majors, from what I saw. The average numbers and percentages I posted were from the website, for UCLA, for community college students, for history.</p>

<p>so maybe people are not using the tables correctly? I’m kind of confused because it was very easy for me to run through… maybe I didn’t correctly understand what you mean?</p>

<p>I looked up history (and psych for my bf) at every single UC, as well as yield rates, years to graduate, family income, “race”, and so on… (yes, yes, I’m obsessed)</p>

Unfortunately, there is no way to check transfer GPAs averages on that page.</p>
