UCLA Political Science Transfers 2017

Hi everybody! If you’re anything like me, you’re anxiously waiting for your decision from UCLA. I created this thread specifically for political science majors to share helpful information and stats. Good luck!

My info:

GPA: 3.77 (3 B’s in STEM classes, unrelated to major)
Major GPA: 4.0
IGETC: Complete
Prereqs: Missing 1, can’t take the last 1 because 2 of my prereqs are offered at the same time of day!!!
ECs: President of a volunteer club, 3 time national french contest medalist

By the way, if anybody could tell me how much having 1 missing prereq affects my chances, I would really appreciate it!

Yay! I’m so happy I found this thread

My stats:

GPA: 3.73 or 3.84 w/ winter (I B in an IGETC class and an unrelated Honors course)
Major GPA: 4.0
IGETC: Finishing the last one this spring
Prereqs: Done this spring
ECs: President and Cofounder of a cultural organization, member of College Democrats, Dancer, self-teaching language for the past 4 years
One year transfer.

Best of luck!

My info

Major GPA: 4.0
IGETC: Done
Prereqs: missing stats. Not offered at college
ECs: Chief justice of student court. President of AGS honors society chapter. President of Philosophy Club. Intern and precinct captain for Republican party.

@champagnemami you seem like a very strong candidate. I honestly don’t see the B’s causing you any trouble for getting into UCLA.

@satshawty You also seem to be very strong academically and in extracurriculars. The only thing that could hurt you is the one missing prereq and I don’t think it will very much. As you can see in my above post I’m also missing a prereq. The only part that makes it difficult to predict is that it sounds like all of the prereqs were offered at your college and I’m only familiar with how it impacts people who attend colleges where the course isn’t articulated. Still, since so many are missing the requirement I give you most likely odds to get in.

Good luck to both of you!

Lol, just realized that this was for last year’s transfers. Anyway how did you guys do?
