What should your GPA be when transferring to UCLA?

<p>If your major in Biochemistry.</p>

<p>If you are above 3.6 with most pre-major classes done, you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Alright, but how hard it is to get over a 3.6 in a CC?</p>

<p>Should be very easy. The only way it can be hard is if it you make it hard on yourself.</p>

<p>I got in biochemistry, but my gpa was just 3.33. Also, I heard from my classmate that his friend got in with 3.00 only.</p>

<p>To get a 3.6 it really depends on how hard your work. No such thing as an easy, sleep-in way through a CC to get the grades either. School is school. No matter if it is a CC, Cal State or UC.</p>

<p>I asked a UCLA counselour and he told me 3.4's should be fine(I think he meant for my major?)</p>

<p>Correct me if I am wrong, anyone, but it seems like the UCLA transfer site says you need a 3.2 to get in, but I see people with less than 3.2's getting in. I think they just say so to push it harder. And even the UCLA counselour I asked said the average GPA was a 3.4 ish. But then, I am not sure if it meant that for non-impacted majors.</p>

<p>You are incorrect there! </p>

<p>The average GPA for Biochemistry should be higher than 3.5.
Let's refer to transfers in 2005, the average GPA was 3.62 for the admits and 3.41 for all the applicants in biochemistry major.
For more details, 347 students applied with an average GPA 3.41 and 207 students got in with an average GPA 3.62. Biochem is also an impacted major! </p>

<p>What about for Neuroscience, waht GPA would you recomend for that?</p>

<p>I would say, to be on the safe side, 3.6+. I know that its possible to get in with lower stats, but to be confident, work for a 3.6 and have some decent ECs and essays, and you should be fine.</p>

<p>Yea. Aim for a high GPA (say 3.8) so even if you fail you will still be at a 3.5 or so and get in.</p>

<p>How hard is it to get into UCLA with the major communication studies? I know its impacted, but how hard is it. Anyone on here get in? if so may you please post your stats.</p>

<p>EC's in a community college? I never knew community colleges had EC's.</p>

<p>of course they do. =)</p>

<p>Well what kind of EC's do most provide?</p>

<p>Also, it seems like alot of ppl are talking about their SAT score on this baord...but I thoguht if ure a transfer student SAT scores dont matter</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Some schools require them some don't. The UC system does not. Even schools that require them will not weight them as heavily if you are transferring as a junior instead of a sophmore.</p>

<p>So it doesn't have to be things like clubs in CC, because I always imagiend EC's as being things in school that you are part of.</p>
