<p>I am extremely nervous about applications, but even more so about applying to UCLA because that would be the school I would ultimately like to go to. I will be applying this fall. It would be amazing if I could get some feedback on my application as far as GPA and EC goes. Thanks!</p>

<p>there are a few more things but they would need more explanation and...yeaaa, feedback needed please!!</p>
<p>This may sound harsh, but you will not get into UCLA Comm. The department only looks at GPAs above a 3.9 and the averge GPA admitted last year was a 3.94 If you can do TAP I would suggest applying as a Comm major, but put a realistic major as a backup.</p>
<p>On a positive note…you have a good shot at UCB Media Studies, UCSD Comm is almost a sure in. If you’re set on UCLA I would suggest applying as a Soc major and try to double majoring in Comm.</p>
<p>I’d say apply, because you may get lucky – especially if you’re from a CA CC. That’s what I’m doing; I have a similar GPA (3.83) and a lot of executive positions/paid positions on campus as well as internships at city newspapers and with a CA governor candidate, so I’m going to try to emphasize my involvement in Communications-related EC’s (you should too). But like I said, it’s always worth a shot. Make sure those essays are spectacular!</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I am now really considering doing what SMCguy suggested with Sociology, but I’m not too sure how much more of a chance I would have at getting admission with that major. Really nervous :/</p>
<p>Honestly Communications is incredibly hard to get into. With a 3.77, although that’s a solid GPA normally, it probably (in all probability) won’t cut it. </p>
<p>I suggest applying into sociology too…or even philosophy which is (relatively speaking) much easier to get into.</p>
<p>escapevelocity, what do you intend on doing with your Comms major? I may go into SOc as well, but there are a ton of pre-reqs for that major I haven’t done.</p>
<p>@ Kelli: Hey! Long time no talk! :D. I’m actually going to Cal next semester :/. I’m not sure if it was the “right” decision, but I’m hoping for the best. I’m taking a class there currently through Extension as well. Although, I’m going to UCLA for 4 days this weekend to see my gf lol.</p>
<p>planning on minoring in comp sci so i can kind of veer towards marketing. eventually get an mba, but thats further away lol.</p>
<p>which brings me to my now concern on which major to choose (because i would still plan on applying for communication/media studies for other UCs) which is similar enough to communications that the personal statement would make sense…</p>
