UCSD transfer to UCLA

<p>im looking to transfer to UCLA from UCSD because of the lack of business programs at UCSD.
What kind of GPA should i have by the time i apply for UCLA? Anything i can do at UCSD that can help my chances?</p>

<p>Here is the best advice I can give you…drop out and go to a CC</p>

<p>i already started my spring quarter at UCSD so CC right now is out of question</p>

<p>ucla does not have a business admin program. transfer to cal, irvine, or sc.</p>

<p>my goal was to transfer to the Bus/Econ Major, and go to Anderson School after. </p>

<p>UCLA has always been a dream school for me</p>

<p>you’re most likely going to need a GPA above the average because you are transferring from another UC, I would say close to a 3.85-3.9 to be competitive.</p>

<p>no. this is wrong. ucla looks at cc and uc the same. so just have above the average accepted gpa and you have a decent shot.</p>

<p>[UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2008](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof08_mjr.htm]UCLA”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof08_mjr.htm)</p>

<p>no this is right, the average was 3.82 last year, so i’ll state again that a 3.85-3.9 would be a competitive GPA…</p>

<p>You need Accounting classes as prereqs for UCLA. Do they offer Accounting courses at UCSD ?(since they don’t have business, I’m not sure if they have accounting classes, just asking)</p>

<p>Btw, you can always drop out after the spring quarter and go to CCC afterward. My friend did it after his 1st quarter at UCSC</p>

<p>definately come to UCLA… recommeded!</p>

<p>oh, i wasn’t debating the gpa part. i didn’t even look up the average. i agree with you on that.</p>

<p>just wondering… isn’t management science the same as business? UCSD does offer management science… (i’m an engineering major at UCSD. so, i can be way wrong…)</p>

<p>yeah, management sciences is closer to business administration than ECON at ucsd… i didn’t know that until recently and applied as an econ major. booooooo</p>

<p>Management Science and Econ. have generally the same courses. UCSD does offer Econ 4 which is an accounting course which would fulfill the requirement to transfer to UCLA. </p>

<p>For the GPA, the average admit to UCLA from UCSD is a 3.5 according to their transfer site. They have UC to UC as a different category than CC to UC.</p>

<p>I’m confused by the words “lack of business programs at UCSD.” In what sense is UCSD lacking in business program? …</p>

<p>loller i’m sure you can switch into it without any problems. you can switch majors online and i would bet transfers can do it too (except for impacted majors of course).</p>

<p>ive changed my major 4 times online already. (from math to stats to management science to joint math/econ)</p>
