Media Studies or Int' Development studies?

What is the avg gpa admitted for Media Studies at UC Berkeley?
I'm also thinking of International Development studies at UCLA
my uc gpa is 3.5 with one W and one C in pre-calc..5 B's in igetc classes and A's in pre-req for int' dev studies..AND for media studies..(still need to take one more class for both majors)
do you guys think i have a chance to get into either one of them?
I still have to take Japanese as my foreign language but my cc doesnt offer it so
i was thinking of taking it at other school next semester...
can I still apply this year for next fall to UCLA even w/o foreign language,,?
PLEASE help me to figure out my chance of getting into my dream school...............
I would really appreciate it .....

Hi Dani.

I'm sorry to inform you, but UCLA is no longer accepting transfer students into their IDS program.

Transfer Major Prep - International Development Studies - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions

As for Media Studies at Berkeley, It's hard to accurately estimate the average GPA for incoming transfers in that major, but you should try to get a higher GPA than a 3.5 and supplement it this fall with volunteer work.

Good luck!

^ It's true. ): I was bummed, until I heard about Global Studies! It's a bit more competitive but they're very similar. They have practically the same pre-reqs as well. You should look into it.

I think the average GPA for global studies is 3.8 (IDS was 3.6 I think) but if you do TAP (which you should), I'd say you're definitely in.
