| best is probably personal attention at a UC. worst is probably NO reputation whatsoever. | |

Ummm, I think the number is between 25-30% I myself am not asian.
"hey morecowbell, how big is an average class size at merced?"
Umm, first off if you have gone to a tour here, DONT BELIEVE THEM when they say the avg. class size is 14 kids. 1/2 my classes have 120+ people in lecture, in discussions I would say I have around 15 people. | |

| How hard is it to transfer from uc merced to a more prestigious uc like ucla, ucsd or uc davis? I plan on transfering from uc merced rather than a JC, would it be easier or harder? Is comp science difficult? | |

1) Yes.
2) I would argue they are better than any other UC. I wouldnt be much of an argument, because its fact lol.
3) From what I know about it here at Merced, it is veryy difficult. But, thats just based on my room mates bit**** about it all the time LOL!
4) WOW, what a question yes I do have tips, tips that would help you PWN at this place, make it easier for you to be social etc. But i'll post them later, because there quite extensive
morecowbell: do you know if uc merced is still giving out acceptances/rejections? like is it rolling until 3/31? i still haven't gotten a decision..
Correct me if I am wrong, but i believe last year you could apply all the way up to in the middle of March, so im pretty sure there giving them out still
Joshz: Its not very cumbersome at all, I would actually strongly sugest it. Just get a 3.5+ and UCLA/UCSD/UCB is all yours | |

| But are you sure they'd accept? i mean do you know anyone that got accepted as a transfer from a brand new school?
I heard UCs are giving more priority to jr colleges than UCs | |

| If you get a 3.5+ your in at UCSD. I know 3 people who have transfered to UCSD with a 3.2. UCLA/UCB it depends on your major more, lot harder actually, I only know one person who transfer to UCLA from merced...he had a 3.2 gpa.
The reason why I sugest it is this: COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. You wont get one at a CC living in your mothers basement. | |

| I definitely agree with morecowbell about the college experience factor. You certainly miss that when you pick the JC route.
I do think that if you want to be considered as a Cal transfer, your going to want a 3.7+ to get in. Their average gpa for transfers is a 3.7. UCSD is a little bit lower than that, and Ucla is between the two. | |
