<p>Hi, I was wondering if I have any chance of getting into UCLA/CAL. I have 3.87 GPA and 4.0 in my major, which happens to be History. However, I have not taken any honors courses and I am not a member of any club at my ccc. </p>
<p>What are my chances with my current stats?</p>
<p>What can I do to improve my chances?</p>
<p>200 percent thats coming from a math major</p>
<p>I was just admitted into UC Berkeley’s College of Letters and Science, the History major is located here.</p>
<p>My GPA is about the same as yours. You have a really good shot as it is. However, since you will most likeley be applying for Fall '10, you have time to join an extracurricular or two. I would suggest doing that to improve your changes, don’t join 10 clubs, what you want to do is join 1 or 2 and really participate and get involved with them. Make no mistake about it UCLA and UCB are trained to spot club w/h/o/r/e/s.</p>
<p>I never took any honors courses, although they were not offered at the time. My school just created an honors program this semester. I was not part of PTK either–I was really worried about this during the time of application.</p>
<p>Keep up the good work, don’t let your GPA drop. You have a good shot! I’ll see you at Cal.</p>
<p>i don’t know much about history major, but i think they were looking for GPA(which u already got) comparing with ur personal statement… all depending on how impact ur major is.</p>
<p>…and the “Chance Me’s” Begin! hah. Yeah, I’m with everyone else, looks good for you :)</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine, at least for UCLA. :)</p>
<p>You’ll be fine. I don’t think the UC’s care all that much about Clubs or Community Service. I was in no clubs beyond Phi Theta Kappa and left the Community Service section entirely blank. They didn’t offer Honors Courses at my college either so I never took any. I got into Econ at both UCLA and Berkeley. </p>
<p>You’re well above the average accepted GPA for UCLA for your major and probably for Berkeley too. Just don’t sweat this stuff and keep up the good work.</p>
<p>Your GPA is well above average. If you’re looking for ECs you should forget clubs (unless you are committed to leadership roles) - you might think about becoming a tutor for one of your history professors (always good to have some experience in the field and you can work it for your essay).</p>
<p>haha… now we will be the one giving “chance me” evaluations</p>
<p>Thank you! I simply had no idea what my chances were. Yeah, I think i’m going to try and tutor or something. Anyway, thank you so much guys!</p>
