Hi I'm currenty a 1st year UCLA Student w/ Sophomore standing as of Winter Quarter. By next year (Fall Quarter 2008) I'll have Junior standing. I was wondering with the amount of credits what GPA would I need to have any chance of getting into Cal as a 3rd year.

My current major is Civil Engineering, but I think I'm going towards EE.

Thanks.

you don't like UCLA?

I like it here, but I was just wondering what my chances are if I wanted to. Since my gf might go there, and engineering there is better (also harder). It's hypothetical though, and if it's within my capabilities I might try.

I don't know if you can transfer there as a senior. You're going to be a junior next semester, and it's already much to late to apply for fall '09 and I'm pretty sure they don't accept spring transfers. I think you're going to have to wait for graduate school to transfer, but at your pace maybe that wont be too long? Again, I'm not positive that you can't transfer as a senior, I've just heard that from a variety of people.

Berkeley does accept Spring transfers, but the applicants who fit into this bracket usually have applied for the Fall term.

Yea I thought that too, spring transfers are usually more like fall transfers that have been deferred?

Still, in kingart's case that wont help.

kingart...
to transfer as a 3rd year it is the same as from a CCC, 60 semester units, since you are on a quarter system you will need to convert the units to see where you are at. W/ GPA you never know, each year it gets more difficult but one thing to keep in mind that it is much more difficult to transfer from UC to UC then it is from a CCC because Berkeley is going to feel that you are already in a good program and give priority to CCC. Not impossible, just difficult.

Uh clarification. I'm still a freshman o.o||. Ill be transfering to Cal this/next year my sophomore year. So I'll have done 2 years at LA then the rest at Cal. So that probably means me applying this fall.

thetrumpet070,

Yes, that's my understanding.

they consider you by how many units you have taken, not by your actual year. im a 2nd year at a 4 year college w/ a little over 130 units and lots of people say i was automatically rejected from la bc i have too many units.

mattn

Just tell us how many units you'll have and when for clarity

kingart

By the end of this Spring Quarter I'll have 53 from LA and 32 from AP's, so 85 total. I'm a 1st year.

Did you apply for the Fall 08' term?

Hongda

85 quarter units or semester
