<p>I'm going in business administration option in accounting. I'm in community college</p>
<p>first 2 years cumulative GPA is 2.59, but the second have gotten over 70 transferrable units of straight A's after, making my GPA 3.43. I'm still going to the same community college, and was wondering what my chances are for </p>
<p>Cal poly pomona
Cal poly SLO
CSU Long beach
CSU Northridge
San diego state
San Francisco state
UCIrvine
UCB
UCLA
UCR
UCSB
UCSC
and
USC</p>
<p>I feel like i've made such an accomplishment for taking over 70 semester units with pure A's. I don't know how much the C's and 3 W's from the first 2 years will affect my chances though.</p>
<p>Not much EC going on, I have been working part time while going to college. Didn't do too well in high school. </p>
<p>Thank you so much guys, and sorry for the long read.</p>
<p>Ur gpa is pretty good. Just don’t let it fall, its going to b way more competitive to get into school due to the budget cuts and csus not accepting spring applicants. So far ur in the right path. (: </p>
<p>You’re pretty much in at all the Cal States if you have all of their requirements done. Business, however, is pretty impacted at some UCs. UCB has the very competitive Haas program that takes work experience and extracurricular activities heavily into account and has its own essays and admissions process. Admits typically have a pretty high GPA (3.7+).
UCLA also has a very impacted Business Economics major which has both business and economics in it (average admitted GPA last year was 3.9+, so you realistically need at least 3.7+ or even 3.8+ to be competitive).
Business administration is also impacted at UCI, and you realistically need at least 3.5+ to be competitive. But Business Economics at UCI is not impacted and you could even TAG for it. Although it is pretty much all economics, you could minor in either Management or Accounting. There is no guarantee however, that you be admitted into the minor, I’ve heard that you would need about a 3.3-3.4 to be competitive for those and would apply after you got there and took some classes.
UCSB has an Economics and Accounting major that has both subjects in it. You can get guaranteed admission through TAG (minimum 3.2 GPA). You will be admitted into the pre-major however and would have to complete 1 class I believe at UCSB and would need to get at least B (not B-) to be admitted into the full major. Failure to get at least a B would lock you out of the major.
UCR has a pretty decent Business Administration program that you can get into fairly easily if you have a 3.0+, no need to TAG in my opinion. Pretty much the same thing with UCSC.
USC has good business/accounting programs and you should have a pretty decent shot of getting in, though you would likely be on the borderline/low side so don’t expect anything.</p>
<p>No problem.
Ok, according to the document, TAG for the college of letters and sciences does guarantee admission to the school, but not to the major. However, with 3.4+ you should get in without much of a problem. BUT, you must also complete all of the major pre-reqs on [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST). If you do all of this, you should be admitted to the pre-major. How do you get into the full major?</p>
<p>“Students are admitted initially to the pre-major. Admission into the full major
is contingent upon completion of any remaining pre-major courses with a grade
point average of 2.85 or above in pre-major courses completed at the University
of California and with no grade lower than C. Note that UCSB’s Writing 109 must
be completed with a grade of “C” or higher but will not be used in computing the
pre-major GPA.”</p>
<p>You will have to complete “ECON 10A: Intermediate Microeconomic Theory” at UCSB with a B or better (a B- will not be good enough). If you get a B- ot lower in that class, you won’t be admitted into the full and will likely be locked out of it permanantly. You will also apparantly have to take “Writing 109” at UCSB and get a C or better, but that shouldn’t be difficult. But remember that your grade in “Writing 109” will NOT be calculated in your pre-major GPA meaning that you will only be evaluated on your “ECON 10A: Intermediate Microeconomic Theory” grade, and therefore will need a B or higher (a B- won’t cut it).</p>
<p>Make sure that you complete ALL of you major pre-reqs and IGETC. I would also apply to at least UCI, UCR, and USC if possible. You never know what could happen.</p>
<p>If you decided on going to UCSB just know that Econ 10A is pretty difficult when it’s curved and 500 plus students in the course. I went to UCSB but ended up with a C+ in the course so I did not get into the major and withdrew from the school since I was not going to change majors. Make sure you have back up major at UCSB because you never know.</p>
<p>Your counselor just wants you to get an AA? That’s really sad to hear. Someone with a GPA a full .2 points above the minimum TAG GPA for most schools should be just fine getting into a UC.</p>
<p>If you do decide to TAG to UCSB (or any other UC), remember to fill out the TAG application in September. It is separate from the UC application, though it is pretty similar too it (you mostly just enter your classes, grades, and of course your TAG UC and major). Remember that you will also have to submit the normal UC application in November. This of course is where you’ll list all your schools and majors. It will also contain 2 essays and places for extracurricular activities, among other things. </p>
<p>YOU MUST LIST THE SAME MAJOR AND SCHOOL ON THE UC APPLICATION THAT YOU DID ON TAG APPLICATION. If you choose a different major under TAG on the UC app than you did on the TAG app, your TAG will be voided. In other words, make sure you know exactly what school and major you wanna TAG to on the TAG app, becuase you can’t change it on the UC app and expect the guarantee to be there for the school, even if you have all of the requirements done for it. Same thing for not submitting the TAG app properly, or not at all. If you mess up or miss the deadline for the TAG app, you won’t be guaranteed anything. They’ll still evaluate you for admission just like everyone else, but there will be no guarantee that they will admit you becuase you did not submit the TAG app correctly or on time. </p>
<p>By the way, do you still have any pre-reqs to complete?</p>
Are you working with a xfer counselor at your school, or just a general counselor? In any event, I’d try to find out a way to talk to someone else because this person is doing you no favors.</p>
<p>I have 2 GE to complete. I think it’s called the US Constitution requirement or something like that. I have to take Political science 1 and a US history course.</p>
<p>yeah, i’m working with a transfer counselor.</p>
