UCLA Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

as someone who took three (!!!) tours of UCLA and barely has any recollection because they were all years ago (going to school kinda near LA will warrant many field trips), I can tell you that it is the most COLLEGE campus I’ve visited. like it has that college feel. not sure if that makes sense.

this is so weird, because i usually hear the opposite. people say that berkeley and davis are more college towns where it seems like everyone is a student. meanwhile, the only college feel of ucla comes from the actual school itself since beverly hills and westwood arent full of only college students

I was just talking about the campus itself lol, not the town, I don’t have much experience around LA other than going to auditions

I just read that %70 of TAP got accepted for fall 2020. Some girl at my CC group page posted a screenshot of the convo between her and someone who was in a zoom meeting w UCLA peeps.

So is it confirmed to be today?

They said in the screenshot that if “everything goes as planned” it should be out after 5 PM PST.

Sounds good, thanks and best of wishes to your acceptance!

I go to SMC hope I’m part of the 70% lol.

just curious, what reasons do you guys think some people who get accepted into let’s just say Berkeley or UCLA don’t get accepted into schools like UCSD? I’ve seen stories like that online and was just wondering why. I’m a 4.0 student and got accepted into Berkeley last week, but UCLA and UCSD are my top choices. Really hoping for good news later today but still really nervous.

The portal was down last year around this time so let’s hope it goes down soon!!!

@harmanb I’m a one year transfer as well w/ a 4.0 coming from a CC. I didn’t think UCSB admissions were too competitive since a lot of people I know with much lower stats got in. I would try appealing if SD and LA don’t come through. SB primarily looks at pre reqs and gpa for admissions so it wouldn’t make sense why you weren’t accepted.

Honestly, I haven’t seen much luck with one-year transfers. Even those with perfect GPA’s, completed prereqs, and 60+ semester units. I suspect it’s because they want transfers out of there in 2 years instead of 3 years. If they accept too many one-year transfers, it messes with enrollment projections.

How do U know you’re apart of that 70% and goodluck. SMC has highest transfer to UCLA for a reason

I live in L.A, I am quite familiar with Westwood. There is a TON to do out here. Nightlife is very lively and there always seems to be events going on during the weekend. There is a farmers market every wed morning on the promenade. Westwood is the LGBT epicenter of Los Angeles, people are kinda snobby around here too tho as most are people out here have money. Traffic is always bad too, but youll never be bored out here.

does anyone know the number of students that got into ucla without tap compared to the number of students that got in with tap?

[ucdochopeful2k19]

Just realized organic chem 1 is REQUIRED for my major. I chose not to take it because most medical schools want to see it done at a University level. This is a bummer! I’m not getting an acceptance. Good luck to everyone else!

Major: Psychobiology
GPA: 4.0 major and overall
Prerequisites: Done except Ochem

i don’t think TAP admitted students are going to be more than normally admitted students. The screenshot just said that 70% of people who did TAP, got in.

Trust me, UCLA is sucha college city. Everyone there is young af lol atleast that’s how I feel every time I go out there.

im there every month bc my sister goes there and we like to visit her and i see what you mean. i just dont know how much it would seem like a college city compared to somewhere like berkeley.

This makes me wish that I had the chance to visit Berkeley. TBH I never thought I’d even get accepted to Berkeley that’s why I never bothered. And idk why I’m still so nervous about UCLA decision even after getting admitted to Berkeley.

[urlocalreject]

@Bubonica I do not think that is true. A lot of my friends last year got into UCLA UCB and other UC’s as a one year transfer. I think it just matters how strong your application is compared to others

I live near berkeley and stayed near campus every year in high school for speech and debate tournaments and I really didn’t like it. Even the though tournaments were fun, the actual environment gave me such a gloomy vibe and I quickly found out I’d be unhappy there

UCLA is definitely part of the city, but I wouldn’t call it college town. People will definitely know whats up though when you bring up UCLA.

I dormed at UCLA last summer for CC and met a girl who left Berkely because of how depressing it was. She said she got so depressed that it affected her work ethics, so she went to a CC instead in hopes to transfer to another UC.
