<p>you have great chances at all schools.</p>

<p>yeah but turn it in early :P</p>

<p>Who knows? the power might be out all day on the 30th, and you'll be screwed</p>

<p>bump to my chances in transferring from UCI to UCLA...</p>

<p>Major: Biology
UCI GPA: 3.38
Units: 82 Completed</p>

<p>^ stats...</p>

<p>vvoc: doesn't look too great since you're coming from a UC, but still worth a try...</p>

<p>is it really that hard transferring from a UC? shouldnt they understand its a little harder at UCs than JCs? can someone really explain the situation of transfering from a UC vs JC? I understand that JCs have priority...but aside from that?</p>

<p>"shouldnt they understand its a little harder at UCs than JCs?"
yeah, they MAKE it harder.</p>

<p>huh lol...i meant GPA a wise... my gpa is a little lower than jc gpas transferring... can someone please explain the exact process of transferring from a UC to a UC...thanks</p>

<p>I'm on your boat, and from what I've learned on this board the last couple months:</p>

<p>Of course, it's harder to get a <em>.</em>_ at a UC than a JC, it's just that UC's don't care about that. They have a specific quota of guaranteed admissions from JC's , so they will focus on those students as priorities-- hence the various transfer agreements/GE completion programs in the JC's.</p>

<p>We UC to UC's are left to pick at the bones, but it's still worth a try I guess-- I'm not really thinking much about it right now, just trying my best on my essay, maintaining my gpa, etc...that's pretty much all you can do.</p>

<p>I'd suggest you apply to privates as well, because unlike UC's, they DO consider the rigor of your previous school.</p>

<p>well i really dont want to go anywhere else but ucla from uci...otherwise ill just stick to uci lol... what are your stats and where are you transferring from?</p>

<p>I believe the rationale behind it is that if you're already at a UC... why take up someone else's spot, even if they're coming from a JC?</p>

<p>lol ic.. that actually makes sense... ill take that lol</p>

<p>so basically what you guys r saying is that as a bio major with a 3.38 from UCI i have very little to NO chance in transfering to UCLA?</p>

<p>I'd put it at around a 5% chance +/- 10% depending on your essay and EC's. You're .3 off the average gpa of admits.</p>

<p>.3 off? im like .12 off lol, the average is around 3.5 for UCs, no?</p>

<p>Should I fill in HS information (SATs,ECs) in the application? There are spots for it, but I'm not sure if I'm suppose to fill that in too...</p>

<p>The average is 3.61. Hrrm...actually you're off by 2.23.</p>

<p>Hey all...</p>

<p>Quick question: Is Santa Cruz good for the History major?</p>

<p>snap... lol i was looking at the average admitted GPA for UCI to UCLA... but i guess your stat is a bit more accurate to my situation... so im .23 off the average... my chances seem harder everytime i check lol...i guess ill have to b content with uci lol</p>
