UCLA Cog Sci Transfer

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hi, I am a second year community college student and this year I plan to apply to UCLA and UCSD as a cog sci major with UCI and UCSB being my backup for psychology. My school of choice would have to be UCLA because I feel that I will achieve my absolute potential at that school while also being relatively close to home.</p>

<p>As of right now, I have a 3.6 gpa and will be done with my IGETC after this fall semester. By spring 2013, I will be able to finish all but one of my prereqs for UCLA and UCD (computer programming C++ class). </p>

<p>I received credit for five AP exams in high school and will expect to complete 64 semester units(96 quarter units) of credit by the time I transfer.</p>

<p>Some extracurricular are 20+ hours volunteering for circle K, 60+ hours volunteering at an Optometry office, and involvement in ASG for one semester.</p>

<p>Will not completing one prereq drastically reduce my chances of being admitted into UCLA? What are my chances of me being accepted to the schools I listed?</p>

<p>According to the UCLA 2011 Profile of Admitted Transfers, the average applied was 3.41, average admitted was 3.60, and averaged enrolled was 3.54.</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty competitive, but not having that pre-req done will hurt you.</p>

<p>GPA and pre-reqs are probably what you need to be most concerned about. I would say you have a reasonably good chance though.</p>

<p>Did you get in?? I am a cog sci major that is applying this year with a 3.6 and I will also have one pre req class left by spring!</p>
