<p>I'm a sophomore in San diego state university, but credit wise i am a junior. I was wondering what are my chances to transfer into UCLA? My major is Mechanical Engineering, GPA is 3.875, I'm on the Dean's list and done classes for almost all the prereq UCLA requires for Engineering transfer. I know I get last priority, but do I have a chance?</p>
<p>Engineering is very difficult to gain admission to at UCLA, regardless of the specialty. Your GPA is very good, though, and competitive for the mechanical engineering major. Still, try to increase your GPA a little more if you can. A 3.9+ GPA is what the average admitted mechanical engineering major has at UCLA. Your GPA would only need to rise slightly to make you even more competitive.</p>
<p>If you have any engineering related ECs, I’d say that you’ll make a competitive applicant. Good luck.</p>
<p>Make sure you aren’t over the unit limit, since you say you have junior standing.</p>
<p>What is consider over the limit? Because I will be coming in to my fall semester with 61 semester units is that too much?</p>
<p>If you go over 85 semester units, you’ll be ineligible to transfer to most UCs invluding UCLA.</p>
<p>So if I get over 85 units by the time I’m done with spring semester I can’t transfer?</p>
<p>You’ll want the double check the exact number, but it’s something between 84-87.</p>
<p>And yes if you go over that number you can’t transfer. Honestly you should have applied last year, so you’d be transferring in fall 2014.</p>
<p>I would have but I couldn’t because I would only had 55 units I only have 61 because I took summer classes this summer. If you go over that number you can’t transfer? Because on the application you can put it in as a senior transfer if there is over 90 units.</p>
<p>Amazing what a quick google search uncovers. 86.5 semester units is the max for UCLA . Believe me or not.</p>

<p>My mistake I added my ap credits too so without my ap credits I would have 40 units </p>
<p>40 units, ok. Despite what some folks say the transfer rate CSU-UC is more or less at the same percentile as CCC-UC. It’s just that the applicant pool is smaller so it looks like a huge discrepancy. You may have said your major, I didn’t read it. You really need to talk to a counselor, and then add in the feedback from past CSU transfers. It can be done under the right circumstances, but potentially harder for certain majors. Good luck!</p>
<p>Max transfer units - Another area that might be better served with the same number across the board @2016Candles !

<p>The way see is that statistics are just numbers. Whether it’s 1% or 50% each person had to be at the top of their game to get a spot. I look at thing this way, if I want a job, or admission to a school, or whatever, I only need 1 spot. It’s irrelevant to me how many more there are. If there are 50 spots and 200 applicants, I still have to be better than 150 other people. If their is only 1 spot, I have to be better than 199 people. Either way it’s hard, so you gotta be your best.</p>
<p>So whether you’re transferring from a CC, UC, CSU, private- who cares! Do your best, and get the spot. Statistics are just numbers.</p>
