<p>I'm applying as a transfer to UC Berk and UCLA (I have a TAG to Davis) for their impacted psych major...what are my chances?
If you got in w/ this major, what were your stats?
Can you think of anything that will make my application/ chances better?</p>
<p>GPA (when i apply): 3.68
GPA (after i update my fall 2008 grades): 3.75
Major: Psych
Essay: 9/10
EC: Psych Club, Several Honor Societies, American Red Cross Volunteer, Couple of Scholarships, CAL starting point mentorship program
Work: 1 year teaching after school enrichment programs to pay for education</p>
<p>no TAP for LA, how late can an app sign up for one tho?</p>
<p>...assuming my ccc is on the list of TAP accessible colleges</p>
<p>I believe you can still sign up for TAP(provided your college offers it), you'll just have to take a higher concentration of honor courses in this upcoming year--it won't be that hard though. </p>
<p>First, will you have completed the prerequisites for the major? That is a primary consideration for the major. If you haven't done so, do that. The following is a list of the major prereqs for UCLA:</p>
<p>One course in each of the following:
* introductory psychology
* physical anthropology
* intraductory biology
* introductory physics<br>
* introductory chemistry (or one year of high school chemistry with grades of C or better)
* introductory philosophy
* one quantitative reasoning course in statistics, finite mathematics, calculus, computer science theory, or programming in C++. (Statistics is strongly recommended as preparation for upper division work.)</p>
<p>Your GPA is at par with the average admitted GPA of this years psych applicants, a 3.67. </p>
<p>The UCLA program accepted 34% of it's applicants so if you maintain your GPA and complete IGETC and the lower-div requirements you'll be in sound shape. </p>
<p>As for Berkeley, the Department of Social Sciences accepted 25% of its applicants, but I suspect that as long as you complete the requirements and do the same that you do for UCLA you'll be in prime shape. </p>
<p>Your EC's and work experience seem to be more than sufficient for the transfer admissions process. </p>
<p>Good luck! And, Go Bears!</p>
<p>Thanks...yeah my prereqs for Cal and LA are gonna be done by fall 08</p>
<p>You have a pretty good chance at UCLA although TAP would have been very nice. For Berkeley it is more difficult to get in but I think the CAL starting point mentorship program will be a big plus in your application.</p>
