<p>I'm a freshman at Cal State Fullerton, whos planning to transfer to UCLA.
I currently have a 3.75 and majoring in Political science. I know UC's give first priorities to
CC and other UC'S. And I would like some feed backs on what the possibility is of me getting in to UCLA
THANKS</p>
<p>Probably pretty good with that GPA!</p>
<p>Thank you, however, i’m just curious to what information you relied on to come to that conclusion. becuase i saw my transfer rating from Cal state fullerton to ucla and it was only 3 percent. (31 applied and only 1 got in).</p>
<p>If you really want to go to UCLA, it may be possible to go via SMC. My brother did that, though he was only at CSULB one year instead of 2.</p>
<p>^Didn’t your brother have like a 2300+? How’d he end up at CSULB?</p>
<p>Hi, I have my freshmen year in UIUC. Do you know which Us are easier to transfer? I learn accountancy. They Mainly focus on GPA right?</p>
<p>To anyone reading this, It doesn’t matter where you are transferring from, if you are the right fit for the school they will accept you
I recently applied to UC Berkeley,LA,Irvine,SB,SD from CSU Fullerton
I had a 3.81 GPA, but all of the classes I took were strategically picked out.
Everyone I knew told me I had no chances of getting into any of the UC’s considering the priorities go to community college applicants, but I believed in myself and I still applied.
I was accepted into:
Berkeley-Electrical Engineering and Computer Science(EECS) joint with nuclear engineering (Full Scholarship)
Irvine- Aerospace Engineering (70% Full Scholarship)
Santa Barbara- Electrical Engineering( honors program) (Full Scholarship)
Los Angeles- (waitlist) ( EECS)
rejected from San Diego (Nano-Engineering)
As of now, I am almost sure that I want to go to UC Berkeley. (waiting on private schools)</p>
<p>IF you believe that you are a strong candidate that is well accomplished and wants to transfer to a UC from a CSU, then by all means apply and hopefully you will get in. I hope my recent accomplishments will motivate you and excite you to want to apply and get yourself to a better place.</p>
<p>@fadifrancis dude how did you get into EECS at Berkeley and not UCLA? I got into UCLA’s EECS and not Berkeley’s 
I had a 3.93, too… this is weird. I applied from UCSB’s EE/CS program</p>
<p>@chaoscuber </p>
<p>Believe it or not, UCLA’s electrical engineering major is more selective than Berkeley’s EECS major. It surprised me when I saw that. I’ll provide the statistics for you if you want.</p>
<p>So it’s very plausible to get into one and not the other and to get in at Berkeley and not LA and vice-versa.</p>
<p>@Cayton Can you provide the statistics? I didn’t know Cal released those numbers.</p>
<p>@Cayton haha you’re the man! And let’s see these stats. It makes sense, but I wish there was a system on the UC application where you could write your essay specifically for one school. That way, I don’t have to waste money applying to other schools. </p>

<p>The Berkeley link is for fall 2013 applicants. Berkeley EECS had a 9.8% acceptance rate for fall 2013 and UCLA’s electrical engineering major had a 7.91% acceptance rate. For UCLA, average admitted GPA for that major was 3.91. Berkeley didn’t release that kind of information, but I imagine the average admitted GPA is similar.</p>
<p>It’s pretty damn difficult to get into that major at either school.</p>
<p>And yeah, @chaoscuber, the UC application is kind of annoying with the essays for some applicants. </p>
<p>@Cayton I am really interested in knowing how many of those applicants were actually eligible to apply as EE and EECS majors at UCLA and Cal. UCLA and Cal will only consider an applicant if they have completed all of the major prerequisites, any person that does not automatically gets rejected. I saw a lot of people of this forum applying to Cal and UCLA without completing all of the prerequisite. I am sure the admit rate is much higher for qualified applicants. </p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>Ah, probably. Unfortunately, none of us can provide any info on the admit rates of those applicants, and I suspect that it will never be made public. We’ll just have to speculate, really.</p>
<p>@Cayton @CollegeDropout1 I’ve seen those statistics, but I thought you would give me raw stats. I read somewhere that in 2010, 2400 applied to EECS at Berkeley and 270 got accepted. This has been the case for previous years, where in 2001, 3200 applied and 210 got accepted. So the number of spots has averaged around 240, which is WAYYYY more than UCLA’s allocation of spots for their EECS program. On average, UCLA accepts from 10-25 students with average GPAs of 3.90-4.0, being way more selective than Berkeley. It’s so weird.</p>
