For UCLA TAP there is no GPA boost.
Essentially, she has a better chance of getting in (70-85% chance).
If she has good extracurriculars and well-written PIQs, she should be fine:)

For Transfers, I believe the UCLA regent invites went out in March last year.
The general consensus is that having all or most pre-requisites completed at the time of application and the TAU, the better your application will be considered especially for the competitive UC campuses like UCLA.

I am assuming this poster was a Transfer for 2021 admissions since 2022 admission decisions will post in April and the poster appears to be attending UCB currently. Not sure why they are posting in the UCLA transfer forum unless they are trying to transfer again?

So UCLA says “The average GPA of admitted transfer students is above 3.5 and admitted students have completed most or all major prep courses”. My question is about the second part of that question. For my major, mathematics of computation, under " Major Preparation Requirements" it lists “One and a half years of calculus through multivariable and either linear algebra or differential equations”. and “Complete the full calculus series (encompassing single variable, multivariable, linear algebra and differential equations) and One introductory course in C++”
Cool, I have all those classes completed by last fall, but looking at assist.org, there is a different list of classes under “LOWER DIVISION MAJOR REQUIREMENTS”. With these classes, I do not have 3 of them complete as they do not have any course articulation for my school.
My question is which list of classes do they consider as “Major Preparation Requirements” and is my application negatively affected since I did not complete all of the lower division major requirements? I should have just changed my major to some math major that I have all the lower division requirements for…
Nah I am attending ucla I I thought ppl were posting the stats they used to get admitted

TAG - UCI
Applied - CSULA, CSULB (ACCEPTED!), CSUN (ACCEPTED!), USC, LMU (ACCEPTED!), SCRIPPS, ASU
Got invited to apply for the UCLA Alumni Scholarship, so I’m hoping that’s a good sign!
I should also note that I completed all 7 Pre-reqs for this major, since my UC offered the UCLA equivalent of PSY100A and PSY100B. I don’t think any course equivalent to the aforementioned courses are offered at CC.
If I don’t get accepted in Late April, this is just a warning for UC to UC transfers. Do not apply for an impacted major. I have a 3.98 GPA and all 7 pre-reqs completed, so I’ll make sure to update you guys on my results.

I have a question though: For the majority of my two years spent at community college, I was a part of the honor program and was ready to be TAP certified. I dropped a course that was needed to get my certification for personal reasons, but I was wondering how this will affect my chances of admission since the class I dropped was not one of my major preparation courses.

Hey everyone, it looks like data on fall 2022 UC applicants has been released. While total applications are up because of an increase in freshman applicants, transfer applications are actually down. This is true for both UCLA and the UC system as a whole. Does anybody know how/if this will effect transfer admissions? Do the UC’s aim for a certain percent of admits to be transfers? If so, this is likely good news for transfer students. Either way, the data is interesting.
