What do you think is needed to transfer to UCLA Sociology

<p>Just out of curiosity, GPA wise, and all that. What do you think would be good standing to be admitted as a transfer to UCLA under Sociology?</p>

<p>4.00</p>

<p>It’s sociology.</p>

<p>Well, the avg admitted gpa last yr was 3.73, and with admissions getting tougher every year you should have at least a 3.8 to be competitive.</p>

<p>I’d do some related ECs too, habitat for humanity might be a good choice for a sociology major. You could do a nice essay with that</p>

<p>At least a 3.6, all-pre-reqs completed with mostly A’s, good ECs, try to finish English, Math, and pre-reqs by Fall.</p>

<p>@ticktock, i would say even if a student has a 3.7 gpa and 4.0 in pre-reqs, that person would still be in a borderline situation because it is one of the harder majors to get into, a bit more difficult than psychology. </p>

<p>ticktock- what is your GPA,pre-req GPA and grade trends? those play a factor.</p>

<p>im a high school senior that will be attending CCs for the next two years.</p>

<p>Join TAP if your school has it.</p>

<p>^ that doesn’t help.</p>

<p>Just get a 3.8+ gpa, get a 4.0 major GPA, do EC’s, and write a great personal statement when you apply.</p>

<p>TAP doesn’t help? A TAP applicant has over a 90% acceptance rate at UCLA.</p>

<p>TAP definitely DOES help. Also, you get to choose an alternate major which is awesome.</p>

<p>Of course TAP helps. Why would you ask for advice and then turn it down when someone gives it to you? lol.</p>

<p>What is TAP?</p>

<p>3.73 is the avg for 2010. i’d say complete all ur major prereqs first because thats important, join tap if you think you will get below a 3.73 (tap is part of the honors program at your cc, but make sure to see if your cc is a tap participant --ucla gives prioritiy consideration to tap students), do some extra curriculars that actually interest u or anything that will relates to ur major, ummm what else, and write a straightforward and thorough personal that reflects u best and you should be in :]</p>

<p>I am not from California, am out of state. I am from Illinois if that means anything, I’m guessing there is no TAP down here.</p>

<p>^ not only is there no TAP, but you’ll be last in line when it comes to admission priority</p>

<p>^^^^that is true.</p>

<p>Because the order of admission priority for Berkeley, UCLA and all UC’s are: California community college students, other UC’s, and lastly out of state colleges as well as other california colleges like the CSU.</p>

<p>actually, the uc’s are increasing the number of out-of-state students this year (i believe 20% at uc berkeley) due to the state budget cuts. so that is def good news for you.</p>
