Like most on this board I want to go to either UC...but leaning towards Cal

I'm currently attending a CCC and hope to transfer as a history major or Asian studies major Fall 2009

- So far my transferable GPA is a 3.65 and my history major prep GPA is a 4.0
- I've taken 43 units so far and I'm following the IGETC pattern
- Planning on taking 16 units in the fall and 15 more in the spring
- If all goes well (crosses fingers) my GPA will be 3.72
- I have two F's; one in Microecon. and another in Anthro. but have retaken them and gotten A's.
- I have done 15 history units so far and plan on taking 6-9 more
- Also in the Honors program and EC's

What does everyone think?

Thanks!

I think you have a shot as long as the prereqs are done

tstudent099

Thanks Lackofsense

Only 3 out of 4 prereqs will be done by spring semester though

Lackofsense

try to take winter session to squeeze in the last prereq

tstudent099

Only fall spring summer offered

Lackofsense

I think you still have a shot. Best of luck!

I think you have a decent shot as well. I agree with everyone, PLEASE finish your pre-reqs in fall if possible. >_<

If you write a great essay you have a very good shot. Good luck!

At UCLA you will have a really good shot. At Berkeley you will have a 50/50 shot since social science department is pretty competitive.

dbguy4eva
