Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Hola! I'm a first year, sophomore student at UCSB. I really like it here, but would like a UCLA diploma more. :) let me throw some numbers at you and see what you think.</p>

<p>-36 AP units (all 5s and 4s, if it matters)
-8 transfer units from UCI
-13+19+17 units for this year, total of 93 at the end of the year. </p>

<p>My current gpa is a 3.81. I want to apply for UCLA's poli sci program. So, a few questions:</p>

<p>1) I'm essentially done with UCSB's general education requirements, and UCSB's poli sci lower div requirements. I get reciprocity for that, right?
2) UCLA's page in their admissions site for poli sci is confusing. It says we need 3 lower div classes, then goes on to list 4 poli sci classes and a stats class. What's really going on here?
3) speaking of stats, UCSB won't let me take a stats class for credit since I passed my stats AP test. UCLA explicitly does not accept AP Stats Credit as sufficient for their stats requirement. What do I do, take stats for no units?
4) chance me. I know the limited number of UC intercampus transfera makes it difficult to judge, but give me your opinion.</p>

<p>take the quantitative method class</p>

<p>What is that? Is it a stats course at UCSB?</p>

4

<p>It’s pols 104</p>

5

<p>Sadly, they are cutting poli 104 for people of my entering class and replacing it with a new course, poli 15. 104 had a statistical background acceptable to UCLA? maybe 15 will too.</p>

<p>Anyway, does anyone know the policy of UC reciprocity? It’s the most important part to me.</p>

<p>UC reciprocity works for GEs but not necessarily major prereqs. For example, i went to UCSB my freshman year but when i transferred to Berkeley, they told me the calculus sequence at UCSB wasn’t equivalent to the sequence at Berkeley.</p>

8

<p>But as far as general education requirements are concerned, there’s reciprocity? So all I need to worry about is the major prereqs?</p>

9

<p>yes thats all you need to worry about basically.</p>

10

<p>What about my stats problem? Anyone know?</p>

11

<p>Half bump half new question, how do I schedule an appointment with a UCLA representative about transferring there?</p>
